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.Day 38 saw all the top 8 runners pass the 59.6 mile mark, with Andrea Marcato the day's top runner with 72 miles.
It was also a special day for those associated with Sri Chinmoy, who entered mahasamadhi 15 years ago on 11 October 2007. Sri Chinmoy's spirit and inner presence can still be felt at this race which he founded back in 1997. The runners continued efforts at self-transcendence is a fitting way to honour Sri Chinmoy's life and own personal example of self-transcendence.
