Elsa (my scar from my polar thigh injury) is doing well. Really happy to report no injuries after this expedition. Just a little tired which is to be expected!
I had an extra merino wool base layer sewn in to protect it and checked my legs everyday to make sure I didn’t have any other injuries forming!
I always put weight on before an expedition. I put on 10kg and lost 10kg, I’ve lost fat and muscle so a lot of my big muscle groups have just deflated at the moment but looking forward to building them back up!
It has been great to get coverage for this latest expedition but I also want to clarify that this is not a speed record “across Antarctica” as a few have stated. Antarctica is huge! And as mentioned in my previous post, I have just dipped my toes into an ocean..
It is a female speed record from Hercules Inlet (inner coastline/landmass in Antarctica) to the South Pole. It’s really important to me to not exaggerate or enhance any claims and tell it how it is 😊
📸 Elsa is the name of my scar from my last trip. She’s doing well and was well protected for this expedition 💜
