July 10: Self-Transcendence is Eternal by Utpal
July 12, 2014 “In this race the weather is everything. This morning was one of the best days we have had, with low humidity and absolutely everyone is flying around the course. This is the 26th day of the race and we have had only 2 hot days and I wouldn’t even say they were hot. I wouldn’t classify them as really hot since we haven’t reached 100. Which we consider really hot weather.”
“We still have a long way to go but now is the time to really get some miles in. Right now you can store some miles up and when the real hot weather comes you can back off. And everyone seems to be doing that.” This was a little comment that Rupantar, the race director made this morning on the fly.

July 11, 2014July 9: Every Experience by Utpal
July 11, 2014In all the years the 3100 has been taking place here in New York it has never ceased to amaze, astound, and thrill, both athletes and the general public alike. Words like impossible and unbelievable are regularly and futilely used to describe, in one hopeless fashion or another, just what it is that happens here every day for 52 continuous days. No matter what adjectives you pull out of the dictionary to describe what it is and what truly happens, they simply don’t work. Or perhaps better expressed, they only tell a small portion of what the experience of the Self Transcendence 3100 is.
