Burkard, a photographer whose Instagram account is followed by 3.5 million people, was this week’s guest on All In and shared the lessons he learned while participating in Iceland’s WOW Cyclothon this June. Burkard set a new solo record in the race, completing the 844-mile race in 52 hours, 36 minutes, and 19 seconds, besting his previous record by over 20 minutes.
