He has gone on to run the fastest known time (FKT) on the 171-mile Tahoe Rim Trail (37 hours, 12 minutes, and 15 seconds), completed a 60-day transcontinental crossing of the USA (2,500 miles), spent 60 days alone in the wilderness to become the winner of Discovery Channel's The Wheel, and completed a 31-day self-supported FKT across Great Britain.

Connor Crouch is a forest scientist who is currently pursuing his PhD at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Connor obtained an undergraduate degree in journalism, but not before realizing his passion for forestry rivaled his joy for writing.

When not looking for insects and mushrooms or camping for field work, Connor enjoys running the trails of Flagstaff, reading science fiction and fantasy, and spending time with his nonrunner wife Lyndsey and soon-to-be-runner dog Willow.
