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.
It was a great day at the 3100 Mile Race with another two runners, Mahasatya Janczak and Adrian Papuc crossing the halfway point (1,500 miles). They are both running at a similar pace and just 4 miles separates them between 4th and 5th place. Daniela Bojila, Milan Javornicky and Alex Ramsey all crossed the 1,500 miles point, and should pass the half-way point today. The top eight runners are all currently meeting the daily average necessary to finish.
But, in a race as long as the 3100 Mile, anything can happen. Typically, as the race goes on runners can tire and average mileages slowly decrease. But, also amazingly runners can run themselves into good form or they can become more receptive to the special energy of the race and actually get faster. Yesterday was another spectacular day for Ananda-Lahari Zuscin, who ran 81.7 miles, and this was after a really impressive 3 day mileage total. It is the highest daily total of any runner since day 1 when all the runners were fresh.

Quote of the day
“I do not have any set goal; my goal is self-transcendence. I always try to transcend myself. I do not compete with the rest of the world. I compete only with myself, and I try to become a better human being. This is my ultimate goal.”
