About IETD

This is the internet-based diary of the Iron Endurance Team Darmstadt – IETD, which is the ultimate „iron“ endurance team

What Sir Ernest Shackleton’s family has started in the early centuries of the middle age with his family motto By endurance we conquer led us to our endurance sports motto:

Only „ice and a broken leg“ would prevent us
from practicing endurance sports with
infinit enthusiasm, iron will and fire in our hearts

The IETD stands for a gorgeous idea, a great physical experience and a pleasant social gathering originally initiated by Sir Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, Tom Crean and Frank Wild … further joined with great passion by Frank Hurley … and hopefully by some other endurcance friends in future times …
