RESULTS FOR 2007 ANTARCTIC ICE MARATHON -and-
UPDATE ON DON'S ANTICIPATED ARRIVAL HOME

The results are in for the 2007 Antarctic Ice Marathon and 100K. They can be found at: http://www.icemarathon.com/live/169.html. You can read some interesting details about the events--including information about some of the participants, as well as the weather conditions--by clicking on the following link, which will take you to the "Live Updates" page: http://www.icemarathon.com/live/164.html.

As to Don's expected arrival home, the latest update indicates that the Ilyushin-76 (IL-76) plane landed in the Antarctic today and the race participants should be back in Punta Arenas, Chile, between 19:00 and 20:00 Chile time. I spoke with Don last night, and he said there is usually an early flight out of Punta Arenas each day to Santiago, and he will try to get on that flight Monday morning. From Santiago he will book the first possible flight back home, probably connecting through Dallas. So...it looks like he will be home for Christmas! Once Don has the specific flight information, I will post it here.
