Dr. Sidy Diallo completed during his first trip to Patagonia and Antarctica the 2014 White Continent Marathon in Antarctica and the 2014 Punta Arenas Marathon in Chile.
The 2014 White Continent Marathon
Date: January 26, 2014
My Time: 4:47:42

No barefoot marathon in Antarctica: humans are not penguins!
Antarctica is the only one of the Seven Continents where humans cannot run a marathon with unprotected feet, as Homo sapiens is a tropical species. No wonder, then, that the penguins came close to me, as if to say to me: “Welcome to our home, buddy, but this is our natural habitat, not yours, take care of your body!”
