I will need a few sponsors to pay for the physical therapy and entry fee, but I AM GAME! Who wants to contact...ben-gay, crispy creme, and Sam Adams for me? Where are the marketing guys? I will wear a RallyPoint Arctic singlet...and die trying. I think if you die during an Antartica marathon you get an antarctic service ribbon. Would have made a great OER bullet.

I'd like to visit Antarctica one day...but I'm going to pass on a marathon, especially after seeing most of the times from the top runners - those times alone tell you that it's a grueling 26.2 miles.
