Awards Ceremony Speech by Sahishnu

By Rupantar LaRusso author bio »
1 May

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

Awards Ceremony Speech by Sahishnu for the Six and Ten Day Race 2010:

Dear Friends, Special guests, Excellencies, Esteemed runners,

Good afternoon, and welcome to the awards presentation of the 15th Annual Ten Day and 13th Annual 6 Day Race.

 

For the past week and a half the runners present have circumnavigated a course of one mile numerous times, against all kinds of elements, difficulties, trials in just getting to this spot from faraway lands, and the difficulties of constant motion on the body and mind. They have an obvious love for running, why else would someone invest so much time, effort, and expense to run in a park that floods, has the worldʼs craziest traffic patterns, is the most difficult venue to find in all of runningdom, and has a constant blast of wind at night that will freeze the skin on your face if it doesnʼt blow it off your face first. On top of that, Meadow Lake is tied to the ebb and flow of tides, so it will overflow its banks if the moon is
just right. Plus, no one in New York knows about this race, other than a few thousand likeminded devotees around the world who are also capable of doing races beyond the marathon distance.

So what is this race about. Runners sleep in tents or in big dormitories on cots or on the floor like refugees. They eat food and keep moving at the same time. They go round and round and round for hours, days, a week even, on the same flooded, perilous coarse. They run morning, noon, night, after midnight, 4;00 am, just about anytime. There is no prize money. there is no financial incentive. There is no logic to this behavior.


AHA

That is the point. They do this because they love, and they care. They care about movement, they love being better. They care about support, and love to help their own competitors. So then, this race is not just a competition. It is an inspiration. It might be tough, but its symbolic goal is parallel with the deeper, farther Goal- a life of Real Satisfaction, of Real Understanding, A life of Self-transcendence not only in oneʼs life but always, in all Life. Athletics has a way of helping an individual to reach his potential not only in the physical realm, but with many of lifeʼs endeavors. But extreme athletics has done more to help the athlete in the inner world.

So it is with this race. Dear Runners, you have shown us that dredging rains and blasting winds cannot stop you, cannot postpone your date with a better tomorrow, due to your self-determination and oneness. We thank you for all your performances and wish you Joy, happiness and peace-Inner and outer peace from your efforts.

And the last person to thank, but not the least, is Guru Sri Chinmoy. He single-handedly pushed us to offer these races for the public when they were seedlings or saplings. He has given us the concern and oneness needed to help and inspire the runners to reach their goal, if not their potential, in the running world. Thank you, Guru, for allowing us to offer 105 multidfays here in New York the last 25 years!

 

Victory, Victory,Victory!

Notes and Thanks from Mark Dorion

By Rupantar LaRusso author bio »
30 April

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

P1090054.jpgThis year's Self-Transcendence 6 and 10 Day Races in New York's Flushing Meadows-Corona Park are over, but in my heart and dreams they continue...I am currently washing two week's worth of dirty laundry and chasing my kids around the yard.

A longer report is forthcoming, and hopefully should appear in ULTRARUNNING magazine, on multidays.com, and in ULTRARUNNING WORLD ( European ultra magazine).

Some brief notes (made in sloppy scrawl during long flight home to El Paso)

JG2_0654.jpg I wore out/trashed four pairs of Asics DS Trainers (2010 model), two my normal size 11.5, two size 12. I also finished off a pair of adidas adizero aces (this in a mere 520 miles of running). Note that those shoes all weigh less than 10.8 ounces in size 11.5 according to my scale. I had a pair of adidas supernovas (heavier, 12 ounces), but they were too stiff and hurt my feet after two miles. I wear all these shoes in training and in trail races too. Generally, I have trained and raced in lighter shoes for the past 39 years--but that's just me.

JG1_5183[1].jpg This was the first race in my life (200+ ultras, and an additional 800+  races dating back to 1971) where I have had a shoe sucked off my foot by aggressive mud! And this was a "road" race. Suffice it to say the south little loop along Meadow Lake was a mudbowl, and also featured ankle deep ice water and floating foot bridges at times.

Once again I am in AWE of the work put in by The Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. Without the expert medical help of Dr. Meghabhuti, chiropractors Mitch, and Garesh, message therapists Yuri and Tomas, Nurse Bahula, I could not have stayed healthy and moving. One European runner and I remarked how some USA runners who were running themselves further and further into injuries still avoided going to the medical tent (European runner to me: "Why Americans don't go to doctor?!" Certainly the worst injuries in the races all befell Americans, and I count my blessings I was not among them.

medium_P1100572.JPGWithout the round-the-clock gourmet food cooked up by Nandana Lynn, Sushovita, and Crew, I would have run out of steam (there was never once a shortage of food, even when cold, wet runners crowded the cafeteria grabbing like wild wolves at anything hot and savory). As hard as their running task will be, my friends in the 3100 mile this summer will also get to enjoy the repasts of these wonderful, always-smiling chefs. Also Shakti, Nandana's 8 year old daughter, provided endless energy and entertainment for the runners (one night I swore there was a cardboard box moving slowly across the path--it turned out that a certain 8 year old girl was inside the box playing a joke on tired runners! Ha!).

One person in particular whom I feel doesn't always get the credit he deserves is Bipin Larkin, the athlete village architect, lead carpenter/electrician/plumber. He and his small but tireless crew (Pavol, Asankita, Rajpal and others) could be seen out in their heavy yellow fisherman's coveralls in the teeth of the worst storms, pumping out overflows, replacing cones and barrricades, hauling gas canisters and supplies back and forth, fixing leaks -- and seemingly never sleeping. I met  Bipin almost 30 (thirty) years ago at a wonderful wintertime marathon he directed along the New Hampshire seacoast (it was cold but less stormy there in February than it was in April this year in Flushing Meadows!).

Some folks have asked me how the 10 day was different from the 6 day, and my initial response is -- it was just longer! The last two days in particular dragged for me, and I missed my home and family, but then again the wonderful group of international runners and helpers at the race are like family too. Also, after 40 years of running, racing, my body does not recover from day to day as in my never-tiring youth.

One recent list topic  I thought about during the race was Yiannis Kouros's opinion thta real ultras--REALLY going beyond the marathon--start at 24 hours. I have run some very tough trail 50kms and 50 miles, BUT must admit I hear what Yiannis is saying. Running for days requires other skills not needed in a shorter ultra. A multiday is doable by anyone with enough determinationb and some decent training, but the ongoing mental battle is different from a race lassting less than 24 hours. I do feel certain "spiritual" and philosophical approached are needed in such an unimagineably long event (see my interview with Utpal Marshall on "Perfection Journey" blogsite).

My race ended Thursday at noon, but my next two days in New York were anything but restful. Friday I saw one of my favorite people, Don Winkley,we off (we managed to make it the 1/2 mile to the nearest Holiday Inn Express after the race before both succumbing to deep sleep). Then I drove through heavy traffic into NYC for a walk around Fort Tryon's lovely flower gardens before a fancy outdoorss dinner overlooking the city.

Saturday I met old friend Chanakhya Jakovic (now of Slovenia) for brunch at one of my favorite NYC restaurants, The Smile of the Beyond, where race director Sahishnu cooked up fluffy pancakes, eggs, fresh orange juice,...The good food was matched by the good company of many of the runners from the races. Then Dr. Jakovic dragged me all around on a historic walking tour of Jamaica (this included the endless 150th Street hill site of marathons years ago, as well as the 3100 mile loop), before my legs said "enough." Note that Chanakhya and two other runnenrs from the 6/10 day did the weekly 2 mile RACE around Jamaica High School early Saturday!!

After buying a sari for my daughter Amalia from "The Divine Robe Supreme" (store could have been in a Harry Potter set), foisting all manner of excess "stuff" on poor Sahishnu (luckily he seems to have a larage garage), buying MORE gifts at the Card Shoppe and wonderful pastries and coffee at The Panorama Cafe (site of many Guiness World records set by Ashrite Furman), and saying emotional goodbyes to my Russian/Ukrainian friends (a bunch of young Ukrainians shared the shelter/dugout I was in with me), I rushed to LaGuardia Airport.

As I sped past Flushing Meadows one last time, I had a mental image of Sri Chinmoy himself. I thank him for his vision in creating all these challenging and beautiful multiday ultras. Best wishes to all ultrarunners,

Mark Dorion

Day 4
It might be spring but the Ten Day competition has heated up as Yuri Trostenyuk assumed the lead by four miles after a 69 mile day, over previous leader Volodymyr Hlushchuk. Igor Mudryk, also from the city of Vinnitsa in Ukraine that gives us Yuri T., had the best day with 75 miles. Kaneenika  Janakova, the defending women's champ, moved into second overall- only three miles behind the gents.Fred Davis III has been holding onto fourth place for a few days with a strong and consistent running gait. Jayasalini Abramovskikh has remained in second place and matched Kaneenika step for step the last 36 hours, but somehow cannot gain ground on the lanky champion.  The cool evenings and sunny, clear days have allowed the runners to stay on track- however, rain looms on the weekend that might carry into most of next week. Another test for our heroes of the pavement- and that is what they expect. Four men are battling for fifth place and higher, as competition is igniting dormant or hidden talents in many of the competitors.And with more than half the race remaining, things are getting interesting.
 

Race Director's updates

From Sahishnu's Notepad, Day 5

By Rupantar LaRusso author bio »
29 April

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

With the addition of the Six Day field igniting the flames of speed and stamina, our heroes of the Ten did glide along with a certain purpose today.Yuri Trostenyuk ran 69 miles to remain in front of the other 28 runners, but his grasp on first is giving way to the onslaught of Igor Mudryk, his friend and compatriot from Ukraine. Mr Mudryk sliced his way through tired signs of his own fatigue to garner 74 miles on a sunny,breezy weekend . The palpable energy helped Kaneenika Janakova remain far ahead of her competitors with another 69 mile day. She also creeped up to Yuri T.- only 3 miles separate the two leaders of the race.

Meanwhile, the start of the Six Day revealed speed in abundance on the men’s side. Newcomer Alex Swenson wisked his tall, thin frame around the loop with precision reaching 108 miles for the first 24 hours. He was four miles clear of American 48-hour record holder John Geesler and seven ahead of twelve-time champion Dipali Cunningham. Dipali is the undisputed Queen of Flushing Meadows. This park is the site of numerous records and overall triumphs by the thin Australian woman, who last year turned 50 but shows no signs of slowing down. The rest of the field did their best to stay close, but with diminishing returns. Swenson and Geesler are speed merchants in a sport of turtles, but also possess stamina and the will to maintain. Dipali, on the other hand, is a relentless runner who always seeks to find new ways to push herself, even without competition. The race for 144 hours should be an intriguing story as it unfolds lap by lap. Stay Tuned!!!

Illumining and inspiring stories about our pioneer runners, handlers and staff.

Read about Dipali Cunningham: “It’s not easy to break a world record.” Once long ago Sri Chinmoy told this to Dipali Cunningham as she set one of her many world bests.  It is also not easy to run 446 miles over 6 days as she did here in Flushing Meadow today.

And hear her audio interview...

Alex Swenson, Manjula, John Geesler, Nishima, Shashanka, Smarana, Dharbasana,  Barbara Szeprethy, Bigalita, Marvin Skagerberg, Fred Davis, Misha Ukrainskyi, Barney McBryde, Pete Stringer

Click on individual photo to hear audio interview...

 

  

 

 

 

 

Read about Yuri Trostenyuk: "To me it is an inexplicable mystery that the first 3 men in the 10 day race are not only from the same country, Ukraine, but also that they come from the same small city, Vinnitsa.  If that were not enough to make you scratch your head in amazement, there are also 2 other citizens of Vinnitsa in the race...."

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read about Dipali Cunningham: "She is not just the leading woman in the 6 day race, Dipali Cunningham 51 from Melbourne Australia is the leader overall.  In so many ways it is this race that is the focus for her of an entire years worth of training..."

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is it like for our runners and staff during the night: "When the sky is bright and the air is fresh and warm it easy to see how and perhaps why 68 runners would choose to be part of this amazing world of self-transcendence running.  I am at the race now though in the dwindling seconds of a Saturday night, which in moments, will stride into the even inkier dark wet blackness of a dismal Sunday..."

 

 

Read about Alex Swenson:  "He is the new kid on the 6 day block, but you would never know it.  He is moving easily here around the course on this gorgeous Saturday afternoon without any signs of wear and tear.  It is really hard to believe, as he runs so effortlessly now, that he has been at this for more than 24 hours.

 

 

 

 

About Smarana... "The very need to run is a primal aspect of our beings.  It hearkens back to a long ago ancient time when the ability to run was an integral part of our makeups...."

 

 

 

Six Day Race Start: "At noon time today, the second great wave of runners stepped off from the starting line in Flushing Meadow.  There were 40 in total and under bright sunny skies they set off on a journey that will not be completed until 144 hours have passed..."

 

 

About our cooks..."The race is heading into its 3rd day now and the sun bright weather of the past 2 days took a decidedly damp turn this afternoon..."

 

 

 

Some opening thoughts on the beginning of the race..."I don’t know what you did last night but I have a good idea what 29 ten day runners in Flushing meadow did.  As the warm bright afternoon of their first day settled away and was replaced by a still cool night, the true enormity of their task truly opened up in front of them..."

 

 

 

Read about Igor Mudryk from Vinnitsa Ukraine: "There are times when you just know that something special is happening.  The Self-Transcendence 6 and 10 day race is just a few hours old and already 36 year old Igor Mudryk from Vinnitsa Ukraine seems to be doing something above and beyond everyone else in the field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beautiful Flushing Meadow Park ..."The skies are fresh, bright, and clear over Flushing Meadow today.  Below, by the rippling waters of Meadow Lake, the walkers and the gawkers are out and about enjoying an usually  early spring.  One in which the flowers have emerged much ahead of schedule."

Race Director's updates

Sahishnu Recaps the Race, Day 7

About the author:

Rupantar has been the race director of the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team since 1985, having been asked by Sri Chinmoy to serve in that capacity. As well as working on the big races the US Marathon Team organise each year - the 3100 Mile Race and the Six and 10 Day Race - he also spends a considerable amount of time archiving the Marathon Team's 40 year history on this website.

 

Like a good soufflé, the cream rises, steadily  and unerringly.  Kaneenika Janacova ,two-time defending women’s champion in the Ten Day race, whipped  another day of 64 miles to take the overall lead by seven miles. What  is most special  about that day total is that she and her cohorts  ran throughout  the day of rain and the night of cold rain, punctuated by  a spectacular  thunderstorm that  flooded everything in sight  in Flushing Meadows Park. The men crept behind, led by Yuri Trostenyuk,  with 487 miles,who keeps holding the lead from his other male  counterparts , and Igor Mudryk, with 480 miles. Volodymyr Hluyshchuk  is at 412 miles but is feeling the heat  from young Mykhailo Ukrainsky who  lurks only nine miles behind. Back on the distaff side, Jayasalini Abramovskikh  has garnered 462 miles but feels pressure from behind by the multiday  rookie Manjula Boehler of Austria, who is running a fine race so far with 445 miles

In the companion Six Day, Alex Swenson fromVashon,Washington  has the three-day  lead with 245 miles, closely  followed by Dipali Cunningham, (243 miles)the perennial  women’s champion who seeks to win the race overall  again.  In a bid for the top tiers sit two 3100 mile runners, Vladimir Balatskyy  and Smarana  Puntigam, both residents of Austria, who remain at 224 miles and 214 miles, respectively. At this point  in the race six men and one woman are over 200 miles completed, with less than half the race remaining. With yet another 36 hours of rain expected, our heroes  from both races  must summon the willpower to continue on and fight the good fight. Yet, the outer race is still in question, the final places yet to be determined.
