Hi Folks
Just a quick update for those interested (???).....I've decided to have a crack at this along with a couple of enterprising Aussies and Brits. If interested, you can "like" our Facebook page to stay updated (
http://www.facebook.com/continentaldrift.net) or visit our website (
http://www.teamcontinentaldrift.com) for details
We plan to start in Antarctica on January 19, and finish in Sydney on January 25. It would be very cool if any Slowtwitchers were to join us at any of our locales in each continent for the run. Even if not for the whole mara, just for part of it would be cool. We plan to be in Houston on January 21, then London January 22, Cairo, Dubai and then finally Sydney. On our website we have put a calendar up, and you can register so we will know if anyone is coming to join us....or if we should just start bloody running :)))
Im pretty daunted by this whole thing - but of course, that's when good adventures happen, right???
Cheers
The Extra Mile
