Bali Self-Transcendence 1 Miler #1

The pic is of a temple in Sanur that I ran to in my post-race warmdown - as you can see it was the wet season (hence dull, but still hot and humid conditions). I was back in the exquisite surrounds of Sanur, Bali, five years after my first visit and I was thrilled to see that we would be racing twice a week on the same stretch of road we used in 2005, when Sri Chinmoy came in person to each race to inspire and encourage all his team members, from the fastest to the slowest.

Despite the jet lag, heat, humidity and 7am start, I actually felt quite fresh and had a good race, finishing strongly on the long home straight to clock 5.26. A full, blow by blow account is as usual blogged at sacred steps.
