June 18, Utpal: Being Home
Stutisheel and his wife spent much of last winter living in Florida. A Place that was ideal for training for this years race. This will be 11th time he will spend his summer here in New York. A place, that in reality he has not seen that much of. Considering all the days, weeks, and months he has visited.
What he is all too familiar with, and in fact has a great affection for, is this one block in Queens. Just a tiny fragment of the great city that surrounds it. But still one he is lovingly devoted to for 18 hours each day.
However all this dramatically changed last Sunday. “When the race started I immediately felt back home. It was such a nice feeling……..and still is.(day5) So I am really enjoying being at home.”
“It is my feeling that this race puts you back in your heart. Back to your source you can say. To be what is natural for your to be. So if you follow the current it is a pretty amazing journey.”
Stutisheel believes that the experience he has here running can be found no where else. “But to have something similar, or in the same category. I believe any ultra event. Or something very long can put you back into your heart. Actually I would say putting you beyond your mind. That is the key.”
