Dr. Sidy Diallo completed in Antarctica his 68th marathon.
The 2014 White Continent Marathon
Date: January 26, 2014
My Time: 4:47:42
By Dr. Sidy Diallo
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!”
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
