NBC gave me a digital camera to take with me to the North Pole.. The link below takes you to the story they did when I got back.

Enjoy!

The Story

Sean Cornwell and Ed Stumpf were among the runners at the 2007 North Pole Marathon. Perhaps taking a cue from Bobby Bostic (now a veteran of not only the North Pole Marathon but also the Death Valley Ultramarathon), the duo also ran the Sahara Marathon earlier this year. This short video documents the run. I wonder what was more brutal? ... I'm guessing the Sahara race. Sean, who is a senior product marketing manager at Google, also blogged about the 2 races on the Official Google Blog.

Russians must not know about Earth Day...

Russians must not know about Earth Day...

The last afternoon I went for a walk and found what appeared to be a dumping ground... It was a little disturbing - my guess is that some garbage bags from the plane were strewn all over the place from the jet blast when the plane turned around to take off..

Should I send this one to Pepsi and Coke?

Thanks to JetFuel for the crop job... This is a picture taken at "noon" at the North Pole... Somewhere along the first section of the course.

For JetFuelBurner....

On our way back to Spitsbergen, I helped the cabin steward clean up after the meal service and my prize was a trip in to the cockpit midflight.. Here is a shot of the AN-72 landing at the Pole..

Another lap please!

The great thing about a multi-loop marathon is that you get to see everyone at least once..
