Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race

The 13th day. It’s 3.10 pm.. I did 115 laps yesterday, although I was
hoping to do 116. At the last moment I got some troubles with the left
shin splint, so I decided not to push. It is still reminding me of
itself, but I am ignoring this acquaintance by doing special warm-up
exercises, applying ointments and doing visualization.

Yesterday was the first hot day with temperatures over 30 C. By
evening, fatigue started to accumulate in legs and I figured out that
with such endurance challenges it was crucial that I maintain alkaline
balance. In the afternoon I felt lactic acid forming. So I started
drinking water with coral calcium and it did a lot of good.

We had a rain today, now the sky is clear and it is becoming hot.

There’s some not very inspiring news, too. Pranab is not allowed to run
today. Rupantar, the race director, wants him to discontinue the race
due to the worsening condition of his skin. We all really want to stay
all together. But we’ll see. The life goes on.
