Anita Paddock

Anita is formerly a Brit who has been in Australia for more than a decade and now even supports the Aussies in the cricket. She has run various marathons and trail events in Australia including the North Face 100km in Sydney’s Blue Mountains. Last year’s Volcano marathon was the highlight of her running career – breathtaking both in scenery and in altitude. Anita expects that her usual race technique of starting slowly, tailing off bit in the middle and finishing at a crawl will translate well to the Antarctic conditions. Unfortunately the 60 degree centigrade drop in temperature compared to training in the Australian summer may be more of problem!
