CONGRATULATIONS TO DON! For the second time this year, he has completed seven marathons on seven continents.
On Thursday morning, the Antarctic Ice Marathon participants began the marathon at 07:00 Chile time. The website indicated they were running under "tough conditions and snowfalls." Don called me briefly around 2:45 p.m. ET to say that he had finished somewhere around 7-1/2 hours. I don't know much more than that, because he was using a satellite phone with limited minutes, plus I was in the middle of a 3rd grade Christmas party at Carly's school which was a bit noisy, as you might imagine!
At this point, Don believes it will be Saturday before they will be able to leave Antarctica, and of course, it will depend on the weather conditions.
I will check the marathon website tomorrow for any more updates and post anything pertinent to this blog.
Again--please join me in congratulating Don for another amazing accomplishment!
