About the author:
Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.Another day for the runners, and the Heavens once again blessed the race with abundant rain. It didn't slow down Andrea Marcato, who was the day's strongest runner, with a return to his incredible form of 70+ miles. Stutisheel had another good day with 63 miles and hopes to make up for lost time to injury. But, overall, it was another difficult day in the wet and cold, and the runners will be cheered by forecasts of drier, milder weather to come.
Andrea was edging towards 2,300 miles by the end of the day. Vasu Duzihy passed 2,000 miles later in the day

Your self-transcendence ideal."
