321: 'Backstage on Grand Teton', with Alex Rienzie

<p>On September 2, 2024 Michelino Sunseri set a new speed record on Grand Teton in 2h 50m 50s. It was supposed to be a new FKT, beating an old record that has stood for over 12 years. What ensued afterwards turned an epic run into a much talked about news story, a social media fire storm, and an eventual lawsuit. Friend of Michelino, Alex Rienzie was out on the trails that day and shares his observations and some background info on all of it. Alex joined Singletrack on his own initiative and any views expressed are his alone.</p> <p><span id="more-13418"></span></p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">LINKS</h3> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Alex Rienzie's detailed report on <a href= "https://www.grizzliesandavalanches.com/michelino-grand-teton-fkt/"> Grizzlies and Avalanches</a></li> <li>Michelino Sunseri's <a href= "https://www.strava.com/activities/12311270605/overview">Strava upload of this run</a></li> <li><a href= "https://fastestknowntime.com/route/grand-teton-wy">Fastest Known Time –...
