I became the first woman to run a hundred miles non-stop in Antarctica.
I can't believe I did it!
Let's go get some food.
When I told my friends and family about this,
I don't think they were surprised at the challenge,
but the location because I hate the cold. I absolutely hate the cold.
It's too cold.
It's cold. It's cold.
I've been ultra running for almost 20 years now.
The idea of running this 100 mile race came about after last year
when I found out that no woman had done this race.
I thought, that's not right. We need to change that.
I was running this race not just for me and my daughter,
but to show other moms that they should
do the things that make them feel happy.
It feels pretty good to kind of have women on the map here.
Right here.
I'm both frozen and tired watching her,
but I also want to add a fun fact here.
Also participating in that race, a robot named Quester.
Now, after a photo shoot,
things were a little rough out of the gate
before Quester caught up with her stride.
And then three kilometers in,
Quester's battery died and Quester went to sleep.
Let's chalk one up for the humans.
