I must say at the moment I feel like Forrest in Forrest Gump all I seem to do is run! I came with 15 pairs of brand new socks and now most pairs look like this.

Next week it will get even worse as Race Antarctica kicks off on April 12th. Teams of 6 from each station (we might have two teams) run, walk, ski, row, bike etc. 6000km or 12000km. Rowing 1km is worth 3km, biking 1km is worth 1km and walking/running etc is worth 2.5km per km. We race against teams for Cambridge and other stations. Cambridge obviously have the advantage of being able to go outside being as it is summer. Basically it is a good way to keep people who are south fit during the long dark winter. I will keep you informed of how our team is doing.

In the meantime time to darn my socks!!
