Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race

Archived – click Post Title to view all. 41st day, 10pm. Today Purna-Samarpan dropped out of the race. Yesterday he left for home earlier. When Pradan examined him, he said that he believed it would be better to quit the race. This morning Purna Samarpan came to the starting line together with all of us, walked a few laps, but the pain in his spine came back and he took a decision. He hasn’t given up though and is determined to participate next year. Yesterday was a tough day. I published a post on my blog in the morning, and then it was raining from 2 pm till night. It got really tough in the evening. For the last 5 or 6 miles, I was not able to run, so I just walked. Only due to the high speed during the day, I managed to do 65 miles. But this morning when I checked results of the previous day, I saw that it was tough for everybody. Only Asprihanal did 70 miles, the rest of runners didn’t get to this point. By the way, Asprihanal, our firstborn, is going to finish very soon. He said that if he did not surrender to ignorance, it would happen on Monday night. He has been following the schedule of his fourth personal result now. Then one by one others will finish too. I had a nice day today. The weather indulges us amazingly this time. It was 28-29C today, with a cool morning and evening. The only problem I had somewhere between 3 and 4pm, closer to my first break time, was an upset stomach. Probably I had eaten something…
