We’ve all been there. You’re running late, scrambling to find that perfect pair of shoes before you head out the door.
In Antarctica, the window of opportunity for a marathon is razor-thin. Paulson’s race was actually moved up 24 hours when an incoming storm threatened to derail the entire challenge. “It was very obvious where we needed to run, because there was a beautiful, crystal blue on either side of us,” said Paulson. “It looked like a frozen ocean.”
“I should have been taking time to stretch and get some mobility. But I was just on cloud nine that I don’t think it even crossed my mind,” Paulson said, laughing. Here, Paulson found her rhythm, buoyed by the camaraderie of several female athletes on the trip. “I received all this energy from these women,” she said, describing how they ran together, crossing the finish line hand-in-hand.
It was only after the fourth race that the runners were finally able to sleep on solid ground. The next morning, Paulson and others crossed the Bosphorus Strait and began running on the European side of the transcontinental city. With the shortest time between races, it might have been just what she needed.
“I hadn’t been injured in 15 years,” she said. “I’ve had sore muscles or a fall, but no overuse injuries.” She crossed the finish line hand-in-hand with the athlete who’d worked on her injury. “I wasn’t running pretty, but I was running — and it was because of him,” she said. “That’s one thing I did really badly last year — I did so many miles and not enough functional training,” she said. “When something gets taken away from you that you love, you don’t take it for granted again.”
