SeaDream Yacht Club - 17.09.2011

October 2011 — Sail aboard a SEADREAM Trans-Atlantic Voyage — Guest Lecturers spark a stimulating conversation.

Sailing aboard a trans-Atlantic voyage with SeaDream allows you ample time to relax, unwind and recharge. Enjoy superb service, fine dinning, spa treatments and perhaps a compelling novel from the yacht’s library. Make new friends from around the world and join in on stimulating conversation with our guest lecturers.

SeaDream I Trans-Atlantic voyage #11140 sails October 22 from Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain arriving November 1 in San Juan, Puerto Rico; 10 days of sailing at sea.

Aboard SeaDream I, Guest Lecturer, Marshall Ulrich will be speaking about extreme-adventure. Marshall is a world-class extreme-endurance athlete; he is an ultra runner, Seven Summits mountaineer (including Mount Everest), and adventure racer. All of this done in his 40s and 50s. At the age of 57, Marshall ran 3,063.2 miles across the United States, from San Francisco to New York City, in 52.5 days.

Marshall Ulrich will host lectures on the following subjects:

-Running on Empty
In 2008, at the age of 57, Marshall Ulrich ran across the United States, completing the mind-bending and body-breaking equivalent of 117 back-to-back marathons in 52.5 days, running an average of more than 400 miles a week. Marshall’s Running on Empty speaking message and the metaphor of the run are universal, whether you’re an athlete or not. It’s about facing forward and taking the next step. It’s about not flinching when the road gets rough or you miss a turn, and about finding another way when the bridge you planned to cross has collapsed. It’s about goal setting and doing what you say you’ll do and not letting anything or anyone stop your progress. Ultimately, it’s about facing the toughest challenges, enduring crushing setbacks, accepting friendship and love, and finding fulfillment.

-Journeys in Extremes Around the World
World-class athlete Marshall Ulrich takes you from the cold thin air of Mount Everest to the heat of Death Valley, from the frozen ice of Antarctica to the sands of the Sahara, and from the frozen Iditarod trail to the stifling jungles of Borneo to show you that anyone can put their dreams in action. With images from around the world, including movie clips and dynamic photo transitions set to music, Marshall speaks about his accomplishments in ultrarunning, adventure racing, and mountaineering. Going deeper than just the accomplishments themselves, Marshall speaks about what drives him to succeed: doing for others—inspiring every member of the audience to consider, “What will motivate you?” and “Where will you go to put your dreams in action?”

-The Seven Summits, at Age 50+
Having reached the top of each of the Seven Summits, including Mount Everest, all on first attempts and after the age of 50, Marshall Ulrich takes you to the top of each continent, highlighting the harsh, bitter cold environment in Antarctica and the extreme altitude and dangers of the north side of Mount Everest. Proving that health and wellness can extend into retirement, the beauty of the mountains serves as a backdrop for the audience to consider, “What is your mountain?” and “How will you choose to age?”

-Preparing for Adventure—A Guide to Training, Hydration, and Nutrition
World-class athlete Marshall Ulrich presents his insights on training, hydration, and nutrition for outdoor activities and sports, including managing extreme environments such as heat, cold, and altitude. He talks about the importance of “real food” versus specially engineered or processed foodstuffs. These guidelines benefit the weekend warrior, avid outdoorsman, or competitive athlete. His insights are based on a decades-long career completing the Triple Crown of Extreme Sports: ultrarunning, adventure racing, and mountaineering.

-Everest as a Model for Your Success
Learn to manage your life more effectively. Successful businessman, ultrarunner, adventurer, and Seven Summits mountaineer Marshall Ulrich uses his climb of Mount Everest as a model to show you how to earn the results you desire. He speaks about the need for enduring values, gaining the skills required for success, team building, managing change, and following through on the execution of your plan.
