1/31, Friday. Went to listen to Colin O'Brady promoting his new book about his solo traverse of Antarctic unaided. He's mid-sized, unassuming, amicable, surprisingly normal and humble for what he has achieved in his young life (34). A good and entertaining speaker. He talked about a couple of incidents during the traverse, and what made him persevere. He attributes to "infinite love", and emphasized that everyone has an untapped energy within him/her. Set your "Everest" and you'll achieve it. During the Q&A, he talked about his recent project The Impossible Row (co-lead a 6 person team rowing across Drake Passage). Another thing he talked about is Vipassana meditation he started a few years ago (see his blog).No photos of any of his adventures were shown - a minor disappointment for me.
