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.On a challenging day of heavy rain and wind, Ananda-Lahari passed 1,000 miles. Despite the real difficulties posed from the wet weather, our interprid runners keep going and clocked up some impressive milesage. Asprihanal seems to be getting stronger as the race goes on, as if he is gaining fitness from the race itself. He managed another day of 74.6 miles, very narrowly reducing to the gap to the race leader Andrea Marcato - who more or less kept pace with the flying Finn, with a 73.5 mile day. Susan Marshall, 1st lady maintained her consistent daily mileage, with another 62 miles. Hopefully the rain will ease off today.
We have videos by Arpan on the race, Ananda-Lahari's 1,000 miles and an insight into the cooking crew.
