ANTARCTIC MARATHON - March 2009

 


-What will your equipment be for the race? I´ll be wearing a pair of tights, a thermal Konzo shirt, a fleece Sato vest and a Suri X-tex jacket. I´ll also be wearing your fleece hat, two pairs of socks (inner Elbrus), and waterproof running shoes. When the race is over I´ll have the down jacket and the Ibon winter pants.

-How about the weather condition? Even though March is summer time in the Southern hemisphere, I expect -10ºC with likely snow flurries and strong gales, so windproof garments are a must against the wind chill. By the way, unlike the North Pole (where we had to run on iced water, as there is no land), we´ll be running on a dirt road joining the scientific stations from Russia, China, Uruguay and Chile, so I will also be using your OSSO raid gaiters.

Very different posts

-What is your racing goal?
To be honest, I aim the podium. I was 3rd in the North Pole with 3h56m, although we had to be using rackets because of the snow.

Now we´ll review his marathon career so far [+]
