Ben Saunders: polar explorer 5

1 Ben, at the age of twenty-three, was the youngest man to ski solo to the North Pole. He dragged a 180 kilogramme sledge over 1,420 miles through Arctic conditions described by NASA at the time as some of ‘the worst since records began’. This year, as well as planning an imminent return to the Arctic, Ben plans to ski solo from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back in the autumn, carrying all his supplies on his sledge – 1,800 miles, 200-odd kilogrammes, minus 40 degrees Centigrade. This is a fundamentally pointless thing to do. ‘Arctic explorer’ isn’t much of a job title when a tourist can pay 2 $22,000 to do the same thing in a cruise ship. ‘ But we do still have adventurers in Britain. They tend to be either obscenely rich – Richard Branson – or to have convinced us that, somehow, their endeavours and achievements have emotional significance for the rest of us – Ellen McArthur. Well, Ben Saunders isn’t rich. He was ‘fired from the only sensible job I ever had’ after persuading the firm to sponsor 3 his shambolic first expedition.’ We were attacked by a bear. I got frostbite in my toe. We started running out of food. It was just desperate. And we didn’t get to the Pole, we didn’t get there, so we had no media interest. No one heard about it: no book deal, no speaking, no nothing. I was so miserable.’

Glossary

have a go phrase: attack pinnacle noun [C]: top or most successful point

(‘Sorry, attacked by a bear?’ ‘Menaced ... but you never really know if they’re going to have a go or if they’re just being inquisitive.’) ‘Environmental scientists in Canada said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole in 2004 ... I said ‘No, it’s still OK, and I can still get there,’ and I did. Self-belief, I see it as being a bit like a muscle – and I’m slipping into motivational speaking mode now – but it’s my genuine belief that the more you stretch yourself the stronger it gets. And the reverse is true: if you never do anything that’s uncomfortable 4 or risky then your self-belief gets weaker. The thing that I’ve stretched and tested, more than any part of my physiology, is my self-belief.’ ‘My Antarctic expedition is just about doable, just feasible and that’s what is exciting to me. If I knew it was possible, if I knew I could do it without too much bother, I wouldn’t be interested.’ Why? ‘Personally I’m fascinated by the human performance element to it. Not that long ago, running a marathon was seen as the pinnacle of human endeavour, and now I wouldn’t be that surprised if my mum said she was going to run one next year.’ People’s horizons are changing. ‘I’m not particularly gifted, 5 I’m not genetically freakish in any sense, I’ve just chosen this one goal to pursue and I’ve been dedicated to it. That’s it. And that’s the thing that intrigues me: with enough training and enough determination, enough focus and preparation, how far can we go? And I don’t think I’ve found out yet.’

freakish adj: not normal or natural pursue verb [T]: try to achieve

Personal challenges: MoonWalk Claire Jones is aiming to raise money for a breast cancer charity by doing a ‘MoonWalk’. She will be joining 15,000 women in bras in a 26.2-mile power-walk through the night around Hyde Park, London. She has two months to prepare. Here, she outlines her training plan.

a) MoonWalk? The MoonWalk is a power-walking marathon set up by Walk the Walk, a charity that raises money for breast cancer all over the world. Participants always wear decorated bras, and that includes the men! b) _____ As you can see, I’m not a health freak, but for the MoonWalk I need to be in good general health, so I’ll be working on my stamina and general fitness levels. I’ll be going to the gym four times a week, doing a combination of cardio, aerobics and strength-training. c) _____ I’m the type of person who likes chips with my chips, and so I’m a bit worried about the diet. Apparently, carbohydrates are crucial for keeping

energy levels up when you’re training for a marathon, but they have to be the right carbs. I’ll probably be supplementing my diet with protein drinks and vitamins. During the MoonWalk, it’s important to maintain blood sugar levels, so I’ll be eating energy bars, bananas and other fruit snacks at regular intervals. Of course it’s also vital to stay hydrated, so I’ll be drinking plenty of water along the way. d) _____ Power-walking gear is very similar to running gear: light clothes that allow the air to circulate and your skin to breath. I’ll definitely be investing in a good pair of trainers. Although powerwalking doesn’t put as much pressure on the joints as running does, it’s still

essential to have the right support for the soles of your feet and your ankles. Most of the heat from your body escapes from your head, so I’ll be wearing a hat. And like everybody else, I’ll be wearing a decorated bra. e) _____ Any exercise is a huge mental challenge for me. It’s a constant battle for me to stay motivated enough to keep up with the training. I need to visualise myself reaching the finishing line ... hopefully not on my hands and knees. Also, in the back of my mind I need to remember the reason for doing this: when I’ve completed this MoonWalk, I’ll have contributed a sum of money to a very good cause, and that’s what will keep me going.

2 Choose the correct collocation in these comprehension questions. Look back at the article, if necessary. a) b) c) d)

Which good cause does the MoonWalk earn / raise money for? What will Claire be doing to improve her general fitness / health levels? How will she be supplementing her diet / food? Why will she need to eat snacks at constant / regular intervals during the walk? e) Why will she be investing in a good pair / set of trainers? f) What will be at the back of her brain / mind when she is doing the MoonWalk? Answer the questions. Have you or has anyone you know ever done anything to raise money for a good cause? Tell a partner. 40

I know it’s bad for me, but I still can’t stop 5

Three packs of cigarettes were lying there on the pavement. I hopped down from Yefim Shubentsov’s office doorstep, picked them up and pocketed them. Later, in a bar, when I opened the first pack, I found – to my delight – the twenty cigarettes intact. I’m still at the bar, telephone in one hand and the cigarettes in the other. I’m dialling Shubentsov, who told me to call the moment I felt the urge to smoke. I feel it, feel it even stronger than I felt Shubentsov’s healing energy. That’s saying something, since Shubentsov is known around the world for curing smokers of their nasty habit, using a mystical method. He transmits his healing energy from his fingertips, he tells me – something he picked up from another bloke in Russia. ‘I help you for free,’ he told me in his muddy accent. ‘Just call me whenever.’ I went to see Shubentsov because I think it’s time to stop. Time to stop because I’m getting old, and I can’t keep doing this to myself. But here’s the real problem. I should quit, but like a lot of you struggling with the same habit, I really don’t want to. At least, not yet. Smoking has been very good to me. Cigarettes have never let me down, never abandoned me on lonely, desperate nights. Smoking clears my head, helps me think. Smoking has started conversations, driven away annoying people. Smoking helps me celebrate victories, get over losses, comfort the comfortless. It also chases away the mosquitoes. I will quit. Soon. My body and my mind are demanding that I do, daily.

I claim to smoke for pleasure, but I realise that slowly, steadily, I’m losing control of this close, special friend. I hate that. I realise it’s not just a ‘habit’. I’m hooked. So here I am, attempting to give up again, at Shubentsov’s place. I’ve tried all the other quitting techniques available. Anytime the urge to smoke strikes, he said, just call him immediately and he’ll help. The funny thing is, I realise that I’m not phoning him to stop me from lighting up. I’m phoning him so I can. If I call, I’ll have done my part. Then I can smoke this cigarette. Besides, I know that at 9.30 on a Friday night, I’ll get the answering machine. I do. ‘The office is open from ten to four. Call me back then. This machine does not take messages.’ I put the phone down and I can honestly say I’m relieved. You see, it’s not Shubentsov’s fault or anyone else’s fault that I’m still smoking. It’s mine. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to smoke this cigarette. Whether I’ll really enjoy it, though, is another story.

It takes a lot of strength to do this.
