Hey folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Today is a throwback

Thursday episode where we talked with Chris, Chris Fagan, Chris and Marty are married, and when they do an

adventure, they go big. So from bike tours through Africa to racing sailboats in Alaska, they're quite the dynamic

duo, and adventure is a huge part of their lifestyle.

And over the winter of 2013 and 2014, that adventure spirit culminated in a nearly 50-day ski expedition to the South Pole as a couple.

And upon completion, they became the first American married couple and second married couple in history

to complete a fully unsupported, unguided, and unassisted ski from the Arctic coast to the South Pole.

In fact, there's only been about 100 people in all of history to travel that way.

Chris is joining us. She's an amazing storyteller, and I hope you enjoy this conversation.

had an amazing experience and they're going to tell you a little bit about logistically how they got it done and how they planned for it and all that. So I'm really excited about this one. This was one of

my favorite conversations just because Chris is so positive about it, makes it sound so doable

for the rest of us. So let's jump in.

specifically the expedition, the book that you just wrote that's not out yet about

your trip to the South Pole, then also what you just completed like just a couple weeks ago,

the race to Alaska. Chris Fagan, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thanks for having me today.

Yeah, so I don't even know where to start. So, you know, the book that's coming
