    I have been both fascinated and shocked by BBC TVs "On Thin Ice" where James Cracknell, Ben Fogle and Ed Coats attempted to complete the South Pole Challenge.   http://www.thesouthpolerace.com   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sBxz6iAQGY   Fascinated because it was like looking in the mirror seeing James Cracknell push and push and push himself well beyond his comfort zone…
