July 28, Utpal: This is Our Homw
July 28, 2015 Today Vasu completed the Self Transcendence 3100 mile race for the 4th time. On each occasion that he has run, he has not only has improved his time but he also seems to have grown and transformed himself in a way that only self transcendence can do. Self transcendence of course is not just for the elite and gifted it is a beacon that calls out to all of us.
A simple way of understanding just how committed Vasu is to the race is to see him stop while running and pick up trash. “This is our home, and we want to make our home clean. If we keep it clean we can run as fast as possible.”

July 27, Utpal: Earth and Heaven Came Together Here
July 27, 2015 5 years ago when Galya Balatsky last ran here it took him 46 days to complete the 3100 mile race. In the long 5 year period that lay between then and now he continued to run, train, and obviously improve. Last night, in the dwindling minutes before midnight he ran across the finish line once more. This time nearly 4 days faster than his previous attempt. He carried his nation’s flag, his face lit bright by a smile, and his self transcendence offering was completed at last.
The additional record that he now holds as well is one of almost shocking consistency. For all of his 43 days on the course he never ran l day less than 70 miles per day. It has never been done before and many people suggest strongly that it is a record that may never be broken.
