...when I first read this I thought, yeah.."what a cool thing to say"... good for him...then after stewing for a minute on it I think I just want to give Anton a big middle finger.... Anton Kupricka just turned into the selfish narcissist he didn't want to be but probably has alwasy been....
Anton, you just entered the realm of running jerks like Matt Carpenter....always trying to be better than everyone else, be higher than everyone else
so now that you can't win, you tell everyone else out there that is trying that it is all a pointless, selfish endeavor.....what the hell. Period.
As a pro athlete you were supposed to be out there inspiring people to push their limits, be bold, be tough, and be inspirations to there friends and families....to push people to be more than just stupid animals feeding off of the land....and you did for a while...and many athletes out their do the same every day...you could have even been a big man and used your fame and inspirational status to encourage people to do other good things for other people...but, instead you chose to only think of yourself and try and sound cool and be the big esoteric man above everyone else...
So, after reading your "genius" quote are we all supposed to just give up and say ..."yeah, Anton Kupricka is a genius and we are all selfish jerks ....we should just give up and hand out sandwiches on street corners to people who need them....and then give up on life"
Go back to your arrogant hole in Boulder Anton....you are no longer an inspiration to anyone...just someone telling us all we are selfish pointless jerks....why does La Sportiva write any checks at all to you...Jesus, you are not Jesus and never were....go away and let the rest of us continue to build up and enjoy being part of the running community and push people to do new and bold things, let us all believe in something....what the hell man, what the hell.
