New audio update from TA on Everest.

This is the text of TA’s audio message:

Hi this is TA calling in from Pheriche at about 4200m.  It was a good day of walking down here; I walked down with Marian and Nadia, and we were followed down by the other five.  We have or 3 summiteers here in Pheriche, two are flying out by helicopter in the morning, lucky them, the rest of us are heading on down to Namche.  I am really noticing how tired I am after 55 day here at altitude.  I am enjoying how much warmer it is here then the last time I was down.  I am looking across at the big steep hill I climbed last time, to check out how my body was doing and realizing that maybe I shouldn’t have trekked down to Lobouche for that little two day jaunt before going on a summit push.  I’m wishing I had had a chance to come and recover at even lower altitudes before going back up for that push, but you know hindsight is 20/20, and this expedition is called “Mountain of Learning” for a reason, to take all those learning’s, both internal and external and take them forward from here.  I heard 3 members from my team have moved up to camp 3 today, maybe the others are following.  But I am now going to be tracking them like you are on the internet, since I won’t be there to hear the radio calls, but I continue to send good, positive energy their way.  We will be having another good feed tonight to hopefully power the legs all the way to Namche tomorrow.  Thanks for following along, and special thanks to all of my sponsors who made it possible for me to be here on day 55 of this expedition, thanks and have a great day.
