In 2007, I started the longest race in the world for the fourth time. In short, I can say that it was the most mystical race – I got everything that I had only dreamed of all these years. I ran in the heat, was exceptionally consistent, ran the second half 15 hours faster than the first. All the findings that I described in my first three books have worked 100% in practice this year. The most interesting thing is that I had the feeling that it was all already planned in advance … and this is just the beginning.
The start of the run took place on June 17 at 6:04 am. At the start – 12 runners from 9 countries. Three – for the first time: Grahak, Vlastimil and Petr (winner of the 10-day race in New York this year). The distance was successfully covered by 11 runners.
It turned out that was the last 3100-Mile Race with physical presence of Sri Chinmoy. He passed away on Oct 11 later this year…
I finished on day 51 – August 6 at 18:35. Guru came to celebrate my finish in blue t-shirt and yellow shorts – colours of the Ukrainian flag.
