This is part 2 of 2 of my interview with Lucas Petersen.
Lucas Petersen is a wildland firefighter, CrossFit coach for CrossFit i1uvit, former college football player and standout player in his high school years at Lynden High School. He is also an avid ultrarunner, having logged over 1,400 miles of running in 2023!
Lucas is soft spoken, but has the intense eyes and personality that you know that he's a hard worker, high performer and definitely not a "list guy".
In this Part 2 interview, we continue our conversation about
- His introduction to firefighting and wilderness firefighting.
- The process to becoming a wilderness firefighter.
- The various jobs he's done in fighting wildfires.
- The meaning behind some of his tattoos.
- The steps to become a Hotshot wilderness firefighter.
- HIs interest in running and ultrarunning.
- His races he's completed.
- His favorite books
- His favorite quotes
- Steps to overcoming adversity and suffering in our lives.
- and more!
I've known Lucas for about 10 years, from the time he was a go-getter high school, all the way to know, as he's grown into a fantastic man, coach and firefighter. I know you'll love hearing from Lucas, as much as I did interviewing him.
