Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race

Day 11

9.36 am

Brief results report for 30 days

Ashprihanal’s total for 10 days – 751 miles. That’s great! He definitely would be among prizewinners at the 10 days races as well as Petya and Grahak, who have already done 660 miles. Unlike in 10 days race this is only beginning for us – 1/5 part.

You can see all results on appropriate page. I just want to say that all guys have done great job! My total is 574 miles, it’s 21 miles less than lest year, but it does not bother me. I feel perfectly well. Full speed ahead!!!

5.30 pm Continuation

It’s the sixth day which goes quite well. I run a little more than 60 miles during all previous 5 days. It is good schedule for the first part of the distance. As I had learned from my last years’ experiences, my body needs five more days to be able enlarge loads without serious consequences. All these are ahead. Mood is calm and steady. I listen to my favorite music, answer emails while running.

Now I have the schedule as follows: start is at 6 am, first break (for 15 min) is at 2 pm, the next break is at 6pm, and the last (for 10 min) is at 9 pm. Approximately at 11 pm or little after I finish 115 laps. My night sleep is not ideal. Because of my hips I wake up at night. Inspite of it, to my big surprise, at 5.10 am when my alarm-clock is ringing I wake up fresh and yesterday seems to be long ago. Especially all the difficulties – fatigue at the end of the day – all this leaves behind, and only good experience stays.
