Tough Day

This morning we skied back from our base camp in a semi white out. It was sloe going and very disorientating! The rest of the morning was spent getting ready for our 3 day 2 night final trip out. I also had some extrs gun training, as I am in charge of the gun, and polar bear protection!

Jusr after noon, we left for our first camp 7 miles away. The route took us out on the sea ice and into a very challenging rubble field. There were some huge bits of rubble, and some great blue colours. But it was extremely hard work, I feel like I have down three hours in the gym with Tommy. My shoulders and legs are killing me now that we are holed up in our tent!

It also got very cold this afternoon, and by the time we were making camp Lucy and I were struggling. It has taken 2 hours and a three course dinner with 4 drinks to warm up.

Tomorrow we have 11 miles and some more rubble before we get to camp 2! Luckily, we spend the last night at Sout Camp Inn before the start of the race!

Happy Mothers Day! :)
