The boat trip back over the Drake passage, where a little rough, and I slept most of the time because I where sea sick. But now I am in Argentina and enjoying the time here, before I fly back

Today where the last stage, and the most epic of them all. It was a short run and quite flat, but still challenging because there where a thin layer of ice on top of the snow, which broke all the time, so suddenly a foot would sink down.
We should only run for 2,5 hours, and then time for celebration. 2 of the participants had their wedding at the finish line, and it was just so romantic and beautiful out there in the middle of Antarctic. There was a lot of penguins around, and they had dressed more nice for the wedding than all us smelling runnersJ
After the wedding we got the chance to jump in the sea, and it is actually quite releasing for sore legs.
It feels very strange that it already is over now, it has been a lot of preparation and training, and it has been a great and very memorable holiday. I have meet a lot of fantastic people on this trip, and I will enjoy the time with them on the way back, before we all split up and spread out all over the globe again.
The great thing about sport is that it connects people. And for next year I hope for a different kind of connection, because I will focus on teamsport, like 6 man outrigger cannoing and dragon boat.
Thanks a million to all of you whom have followed by blog and whom have been writing to me, it has been extremely nice with all your comments.

I woke up this morning and enjoyed the view of icebergs just outside the cabin, and then there where a big group of penguins swimming and jumping around in the cold water.

Hi all
Thanks a lot for all the comments, it is really motivating to hear from you,
This race has so far been the most tough and challenging I ever have done, both physical and mental. Everything depend on the weather, so it is not easy to know how the days will go. Part of my race strategy was to keep my feet warm and dry

Thanks mother earth for a really calm sea. We are in Drake Passage now, and the waves are just approx 1m high (I had expected it to be 10m high).
We have already been on the boat 24 hours and still at least 30 hours to go. We have a lot of fun on the boat, there are so many awesome people.
The boat is like a floating hotel, and the service is really great. Everything here is just super great!
I am super excited to get started to run, and see what the weather conditions will be like. The plan is to start with the long stage- and I really hope that I can stay warm and dry.
Thanks a lot for all the comments, so great to hear from your all!
