But that actually sounds more doable than a marathon there. Do they prepare some cleared route?

It's the Antarctica marathon, not the South Pole marathon. They run on one of the peninsulas that comes farther north. No trees and not terribly much snow, though I think you have to dodge the penguins.

The year my fil and his partner ran it, they weren't able to land on the designated race day because of bad weather (though they explored on another day), so they had to run on the ship. Hundreds and hundreds of laps, changing direction at intervals. Oy.

Ignore ignore their requests, or actually press the "ignore" button?

ETA: Does this post qualify as one of those "an avocado isn't a vegetable" post?

do geldings ever race? if they do, and they turn out to be way faster than people thought they'd be, I bet their owners are pissed they lost all the stud money.

and if that did happen, someone should tell the marathon lady how bad things can be if people think you aren't as fast as you are. she might feel better.

Press ignore. No one knows.

I go with the ignore ignore. I don't want them to get a message that says, "Slothrop ignored you," since they might be working in a post office somewhere and see that as the last straw. I figure that if I can barely remember who they are, they aren't sitting around waiting to see if their request will be accepted.

I have befriended one guy from high school who seems to be involved with a high-tech start-up with some on-line game aimed at college students, or possibly an even younger crowd. The updates from him are a steady stream of unintelligible stuff related to this start-up. I would defriend him now if I knew how (and could be assured that he wouldn't go postal).

Unless she's twins, I'm going to say that's a "no."

I can't believe you said "cock." That is really hot.

Then, you will die.

I'd file under "You're Probably Feeling a Lot Worse For Eunuchs than You Ought To."

Yes, and presumably they know that before gelding and figured they weren't going to win races otherwise, so figured prize money is better than nothing.

Though I won't swear to this, I doubt geldings race -- definitely not the horses that run elite (ha) races. If a stallion is fast enough to make a living off racing, no one is going to mess with his package.
