Poole Man Dedicates World Record To Late Champions Local man, Lee
Thomas, 32, from
Poole, has set a world record by running a half marathon in Antarctica in the fastest time.
Alongside Lee was friend Ken Pedersen. Both had arrived two days prior to the race, therefore only
had a few days to train on the blue ice. Other runners in the marathon had been training in the icy and cold conditions, with altitude of 1,200 metres, for a lot longer.
Lee said: “I started the race by pacing myself against the other runners and after about 5k broke away from the group. I planned to get as far ahead as possible, but never did I imagine I would win and beat a record.”
The route started at the Norwegian Troll Research Station and onto an ice runway, which was about

8K, and had to be run around. “When it got tough, I just started thinking about two friends of mine – Shane Stanley and Matthew Jones. Sadly, both have passed and were very good friends of mine and loved by the local Poole community.”
Lee successfully won the half marathon by 7.48 seconds against another eight competitors in his category and set the course record. “I won because of Shane and Matty, so I dedicate the victory and the record to these two champions.”
