Antarctica Speed Record - Start of Day 30 AM - The Final Day

Morning guys.  I’m in my tent about to set off shortly for my final day in Antarctica.  I’ve done 2 really long days as I am not moving as efficiently with my ski’s, hence why I didn’t blog last night.  I’m totally shattered but okay.  Yesterday I skied for 13 hours and covered 37.5km.  Not really excited at the moment, will get excited when I am back at Union Glacier with a can of coke!

I have 40.4km/25 miles left to ski today to get to the pole.  Should take me somewhere between 9 and 16 hours from now.  Speak to you later from the Pole.

Thanks for all your messages of support.  They mean the world to me.  Rich.
