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.
A beautiful sunrise greeted the runners at the start of the day; it was an omen for beautiful things throughout the day. Ananda-Lahari Zuscin once again amazed with another 80 plus mile day. The rest of the runners generally have been very consistent and have steadily accumulated the miles. Several runners passed the 1700 mile mark today - Geng Lu-Cong, Mahasatya Janczak, Adrian Papuc, Alex Ramsey and Daniela Bojila are all within 60 miles of each other. These runners are all on an average mileage sufficient to finish. Race leader, Andrea Marcato passed 1,900 miles, almost 90 miles ahead of second place Vasu Duzhiy who currently has 1821 miles.
Even in such a long race, every second counts. Here, Arpan is handing out food and running alongside Andrea. It helps the runners to keep moving. The 3100 Mile Race is a real team effort. We celebrate the runner's achievements but each runner knows how much goes into the race from the cooks to helpers and those setting up the course every day.
Quote of the day
In the heart of oneness, there is no superiority or inferiority; there is not even equality. There is only oneness-joy. It is not a competition-game, but a oneness-game.”
