 Braam and I have just returned from our …… how should I say ….. EPIC Race to the Pole. It was an expedition that had a life of it's own and was something that I personally had not quite expected. It was a great success and now we have become the first South Africans to have ever raced unsupported to the South Pole. My frostbitten cheeks have recovered, my fingers and toes are still a bit numb and I look like a skinny Whippet, but all is good and I managed not to lose any bits. Braam and I had a humbling experience in Antarctica and we feel totally privileged to have been given this opportunity exactly 100 years after Scott and Amundsen's impromptu race. I have gained another brother and true friend in Braam. We endured incredible pain and hardship together and never once had any misgivings towards each other.
 We had the great fortune of being able to help the British Team, Centre Point, get to the Pole by carrying one of their team members equipment for 9 days. Andrew had broken his arm and was determined to continue and needed help. They in turn helped us by keeping us company. More about that in the 4 part television series and in the book Braam and I will write together.

Some race stats:
 
Antarctica's plateau is bigger than the United States of America
The plateau averages at 3000m above sea level and the air density at that height is equivalent to 4700m here in S.A. (baie hoog)
 7 teams took part in the race
 3 teams officially finished the race - us being the third
Total distance of trek 888km's
 Acclimatisation trek - 120km's
 The Norweigian team won the race by 7 days - phenomenal effort
 The Welsh team was second - one day ahead of us

 I would like to thank EWR and Urban Brew for their involvement and support as well as my personal sponsors, New Balance, Rudy Project and Cape Storm. Our SUUNTO Core watches were also a huge asset to us as the Barometer was exact and enabled us to totally predict the weather within minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Man believed drowned at St Francis Bay

 

 A man is presumed drowned after being swamped by a wave at St Francis Bay in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday, the National Sea Rescue Institute said.

The NSRI responded to an alert from Main Beach around 14:00, said spokesperson Craig Lambinon.

The man was wading into the surf when a wave broke on top of him. He did not resurface. People on the beach saw the man disappear and called the NSRI.

An extensive sea and shore search yielded no results. The man was believed to be a resident of the area.

Police divers were alerted and the NSRI continued the search till sunset, Lambinon said.
