Hallo nach Basel!

Etwas verschlafen noch, doch umso herzlicher: DANKE für das wunderbare
Wochenende im St. Jakobs Park! Danke für die hervorragende Betreuung (leider
habe ich die Massage verpasst, dafür war das Essen umso leckerer und
sportgerechter) - DANKE. Nur durch Ihre gute Organisation konnte ich mir
einen Traum erfüllen und eine neue persönliche Bestleistung erlaufen. (Ganz
bestimmt ohne Abkürzung - im Gegenteil... ich war sicher einen halben
Kilometer länger unterwegs durch ständige Toiletten-Trips, Schlafsack-Holen
(ich habe eine Stunde lang geschlafen!), Außenbahn-von-Kurven-benutzen
etc....)

Vielen Dank,

Anke Drescher

About the author:

Nirbhasa is originally from Ireland but currently lives in Reykjavik, Iceland. He is an enthusiastic multi-day runner, having completed four times the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race - the longest race in the world.

Earlier this year, Subarnamala Riedel from the Zurich Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team was interviewed, and she talked about how much joy she gets from organising ultra events for the public. In Switzerland, we have been putting on two big ultra events for over a quarter of a century - the Zurich Lake Swim and the 12- and 24-hour race in Basel. The lake swim, in which competitors swim the entire 26k distance of Lake Zurich from Rapperswil to Zurich city, has become a well known 'warm-up' event for those seeking to cross the English Channel.

Subarnamala has been practising meditation with Sri Chinmoy for almost 30 years, and sees organising these races as 'spiritual life in action'. Organising races like these offer the chance to work harmoniously as part of a large team, and there is tremendous satisfaction to be had in helping the participants achieve their best results. Seeing the determination and enthusiasm of the competitors (some of them in their seventies and eighties!) also gives us tremendous inspiration to go forward with our own goals in life.
