Connor Pass
12 members of the Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team, visited County Derry for a cycling holiday, amongst the challenging hills of the Dingle Peninsula.
The first day, saw quite a few members get drenched, climbing the 6km climb of Connor Pass. The next day, was better weather as we headed around the bay to Cahersiveen.
The final day involved cycling through the deserted roads on the inland to the Black Valley hostel. The scenery was beautiful and the cycling much fun.

2007 has been a quiet year. I won a couple of races early season, but, did little racing after April.
The last race of the season is the national hill climb championship. This year it was held at Cheddar's gorge in Somerset. I finished 7th in a time of 7.14. The race was won by James Dobbin Arctic Shorter RT, 6.51

Making a comeback after injury Ed Silverton of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team competed in the Oxonian CC cyclo cross event on 30th September.
A torrential downpour for the first 30 minutes of the race caused the track to become extremely muddy.

Boys play soccer in the sun
| The boys of the Icelandic Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team met once again for a soccer match today (Saturday, July 17), enjoying the splendour of the Icelandic summer. Seldom has a session of our weekly soccer games been missed since we started almost four years ago. Conditions today were as good as they can get and reminiscences of the Euro Cup were fresh in our minds, allowing many a good move to see the light of the day. |

50 run in the sun in Bristol Self Transcendence 5k
"not enough training!"
Only 9 laps the marathon will take
On a 3 mile loop round Rockland Lake.
The water glimmers from the sun
And the ducks and geese are having fun.
26 miles I am walking
I really don't feel much like talking.
Into my own world I retreat
As behind me I hear runner's feet.
âLooking good!" They shout as past they zap,
âHow you doing? This is my last lap!"
But still another loop I have to go
Why does it feel so painfully slow!
You may ask why I'm not running.
The answer's easy: not enough training!
So once again I make that promise
Next year: train and do some self transcendence!Arpita Stott, Edinburgh
"Whilst running the marathon, the heart comes forward and all the barriers of impossibility are destroyed"
Throughout my childhood I always knew that I wanted to run a marathon but the question was always a big how. It just seemed such a distant goal, even more so whenever I ran 2 miles.
Then one day out of the blue grace descended and although I had had surgery on my ankle and was out of action for most of the year, all the barriers came down in my mind and with three weeks training I completed my first marathon, the NYCM in 1994.
The Self Transcendence marathon in Rockland State Park is an absolutely beautiful and special marathon. However before the event my mind and body were frightened and terrified, a couple of weeks before the race, I developed intense tightness and pain in my legs. I think my body was trying to beg for an escape! Also, all I wanted to do was sleep until it was all over.
The day finally came and I dragged my body to the start. We lined up on the starting line and then this amazing feeling came over me: I was not doing the running but was an instrument and the distance had already been done for me. The siren went and I began to run. I became inundated with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, which only increased as the miles clocked up and the goal of 26.2 miles became closer. I felt how far I had travelled and how different and distant the earlier miles were.
We ran a 3 mile loop, so every lap one could see the mileage signs of miles already covered: 9, 13, 16, 19 etc. and therefore see how the experiences, emotions and difficulties of the earlier miles had been overcome. It is like that in life; as we travel towards our goal of greater joy, harmony and inner freedom, we feel that problems and hurdles fade into the past.
The most powerful thing about running the marathon is that the philosophy of self transcendence becomes a reality for each and every competitor. Even if we do not come up with a P.B. the mental barriers of distance are transcended. Whilst running the marathon, the heart comes forward and all the barriers of impossibility are destroyed, the qualities of oneness, enthusiasm, joy and gratitude become all pervading.

"I will definitely be running another one- fear of the unknown has been washed away"
My first marathon! (aka total boredom)
So, Reminiscing about"THE MARATHON"-
No Blinding Light
No Spiritual Breakthroughs
No Afterglow from Accomplishment
Just Double Jetlag.
The Odyssey begins with my flying into the USA the evening before ‘The big M' due to circumstances beyond my control. Having an extremely late night, 3.75 hours of sleep- high on jet lag and starting at 7am the next morning - believe me, I would have planned this better if I could have.
Anyway, here I must admit I did not train - don't spit on me all at once! I have been steadily becoming more unfit and lazy as the years have progressed and somehow I have not worked through all the excuses in the book yet on why not to run.
So, the start was great! So many people- one was forced to do little snail hops- would have been quicker walking- but somehow looked totally defeatist at this point of the play. Jogged a bit. It was ages until we got to a sign post."At Last!" I thought. It was only 1 mile- GREAT!
I was very good and did not let the old mind tell me anything such as"ARE YOU CRAZY? You must be crazy- 1 mile, and you are dead- 1 mile! How are you going to do 25 more and some? You noo-noo! You Idiot! Give up now and sleep!"
So I just kept looking at the scenery around me. Thankfully it was very beautiful as we were running so early. The light and air felt very clean. Running with other people really helped kill the boredom. More of that later.
Also I would personally measure the 3 mile circuit so there would first be the extra pretty bit: in shade and light; then the first refreshment stand; another long run mainly in no shade but going on forever, with finally the second station that my friend was helping at- so I always got the biggest encouragement here (life saver). Then another pretty bit and finally one would hit the singers.
Here one was on the homeward strait and this was the best bit- as one would turn a corner and see cheering people in the distance coming very slowly closer. Even when the body was dead the pride would kick in which would carry one until after the crowd at least!
So this went on for a while. I ran until 12 miles and really decided that I was much happier walking! The force of self preservation (laziness) is strong within me!
I was very happy walking - I would get a little blue every now and then as so many people were passing me and distance took SO LONG. I would play the game of deliberately NOT looking at the mile signs so I would get a surprise later that would carry me a while on the large number I had run!
Then disaster struck. The mind and body just became bored. They wanted to do something different- anything different really - did not matter what! I was at 17 miles and I was So Bored that the last 3 miles had been torture. I just could not concentrate on turning the brain off. At this point unless something changed I was going to give up.
Luckily for me (not for him- hee-hee) my Father came over to say hi. And I blackmailed him to walk with me a while. I felt like a petulant teenager. I just kept repeating to him"I am SO BORED!!!!!!! I am not really tired, nothing hurts, I am just BORED!" He could not stop chuckling. I instructed him to tell me a story- anything NOT BORING- that he proceeded to do- very badly I may add!
Then he ended up keeping me company for the next 9 miles. Ho Ho! And people think I am a push over! Yak-Yak-Yak!
We chattered which was very nice and I was happy so I walked faster and faster. In the end we were walking at about a 12 minute pace! I was even overtaking some runners- Joy!
At the last straits my ego let me run and I was surprised at how much energy I had. I finished and sat down as soon as I could. Such joy to just sit!
Well conclusions- I never thought I would be crazy enough to even attempt this. But it is true. It is all in the mind. It is just a number. Anything can be achieved if we can just turn the brain switch to OFF! I will definitely be running another one- fear of the unknown has been washed away.
Who knows with a little bit of training this time I will try to attempt running the whole time. I will also plug my ears into music next time to force the brain to drain!
I was hoping for a little weight loss after- but no such luck- if anything I think I put some on with all the crisps I ate!
As I said at the beginning- there was no envelopment of light etc etc. But I surely felt that someone was being super-super kind and indulgent towards me up there. Wouldn't be the first time either!
"I guess that my journey was just different"
It's marathon day. I am standing at the rear of the field, waiting patiently for the race to start. I have not trained for this race, and have therefore promised myself a leisurely stroll in the countryside, empty of urgency, and of an indeterminate length which I consider to be flexible and open to re-adjustment at all times. 'Let's just see how it goes,' I say to myself. To me, everything at the beginning of the race is rather curious and incongruous - the aid stations, the large numbers of athletes in running clothes, the starting line, the number which I am pinning to myself. I'm not paying much attention to these things, as they are all vaguely disturbing and are somewhat spoiling my very pleasant illusion of informality.
So started the day on August 25, 2004 in upstate New York.
Now, before I go any further I should explain to you what I was even doing on that starting line, as you are most likely wondering by this point. The odd and inexplicable thing, even to myself, is that I actually enjoy these marathons alot. Even though I am so painfully slow; even though I am so challenged in the realms of dynamism, speed and discipline, I still love to simply cover distance. Part of me, inexplicably, loves that slow, patient crawl over the miles, and it feeds something inside me in a way that I can't even begin to understand, let alone explain.
So I began my journey cheerfully enough on that morning, even though I was such an unlikely candidate for the job by any usual and measurable criteria. And for nearly 7.5 hours thereafter I mostly just immersed myself in the beauty of the park. Now, if you were able to actually run that marathon, maybe you didn't have time to stop and stare. I did. I stared alot. Actually, I stared alot without stopping, which is just fine when you're travelling at my pace (no speed wobbles here). And so I gazed at the water and the reflections of the sun. I watched the geese and the swans, which seemed to be everywhere. I looked at the deer which grazed right by the side of the track once the faster runners had disappeared from the course. I watched what (if the world's animators are doing their jobs correctly) can only have been a chipmunk when it scampered across the path right in front of me.
So, I guess that my journey was just different. It wasn't to do with speed or targets or pacing. It certainly wasn't to do with the miles melting away under my feet, or even with the joyful action of running itself - as I mostly just had to walk. It was slow and clumsy, inelegant and laborious, and probably bordering on the pathetic by many people's standards. And yet how can I be remotely negative about that day? In my heart-of-hearts, really I can't. The surroundings were idyllic, I suffered no illness nor significant discomfort, and my whole being ended up deliciously exhausted by the sheer distance, a unique sensation which only the marathon distance or greater can yield up. And when, after 7 hours and 22 minutes, I finally staggered home, somebody even put a medal around my neck. Yes, it was all very good.
I have been lucky enough to complete, in my very limited way, all three of the Self-Transcendence Marathons which have been held in upstate New York, and I have to say that I really treasure this event. OK, I wish that I were not so painfully slow, and I wish that I had even an iota of discipline buried somewhere deep within my being so that I would train more thoroughly for the event. And yet, with all of these difficulties and incapacities of mine, I still wouldn't miss these marathons for the world. In conclusion, I really have to send my most sincere thanks to the organisers (who did all the hard work and didn't get to play), and my congratulations to all of the other participants, but particularly to those very few brave souls who were behind even me but somehow still managed to finish the race.
