* December 16th - Conclusion of 100k (if necessary)
* December 17th - Sight Seeing
* December 18th - Return flight to Punta Arenas, Chile
* December 19th - Departure to homeland
Quite a few days on the ice....
Been feeling kinda wimpy due to the current field of runners, most are scheduled to do the Full Marathon and then the 100k two days later. I hope I don't get a renewed sense of bravado and attempt the 100k. We'll see when I get there. It looks like the last time they ran a 100k there it took some of the runners close to 22 hours to complete (sounds interesting). Wonder if I will get hungry.....
Got a satellite phone and have been working on setting that up for communication back home. Hopefully I will get the technical glitches worked out and be able to post from the ice, we'll see, I might be to tired from the 100k to post anyway.
