next stop, Longyearbyen?

I hooked up with some friends yesterday, who I originally met in Antarctica. After a delightful time reminiscing (and some shameless gossiping about the expedition team), I left feeling really nostalgic for the polar region, and that it was time to plan a new trip. Through a series of tangential conversations, emotions and notions, an idea is born. A rockin' one... that sends soft tingles down my spine every time I think about it. Of course, its currently out of reach (both physically and financially), but where there's a will, there's usually a way... It might be a 2010 event, but anticipation and preparation makes it even more exciting.
So - the goal is to ski/dogsled to the North Pole (uh huh, mom. still crazy). And while it is still the stuff of fantasy, the seed has been planted. I can work on growing the funds and training (also playing the lottery, perhaps?)
Qualifications according to one outfitter: This expedition is for people who are in good shape, and who are eager to push themselves physically and mentally. You will need to have very good cardiovascular endurance and the ability to work with heavy dogsleds for several hours at a time. You must also be able to travel on skis. Towards the end of the day when we stop dogsledding & skiing, it is critical that you have the energy reserves to set up camp, melt snow for hot tea or cocoa, and make dinner. Most importantly you need to be able to regulate your body temperature so that you do not get too cold, or too hot while you are on the move.
Yippee! Not sure how one would manage the body temp regulation, though (aside from advanced meditation techniques...)
Anyhoo. Back to reality and today's workout:
Squats 15#dbs: 10, 10, 10
Bent Row 30#dbs / Pushup: 10/10, 6/10, 8/10
OH Press 20#dbs / Burpee: 10/6, 8/6, 8/6
Windmill 25# / Plank: 7/20sec, 6/20sec, 7/25sec

10 minutes: completed 3 complete sets TGU and 2 sets swings.
5 ea.side TGU (10#) / 10 kb swings (8kg).
I had to open my big mouth about trying the get ups, huh? That'll learn me. Actually, they were kind of fun once I got in a groove. Very tempting to stay on the ground for an extra beat or two, though.
