Twenty one athletes sprang from the blocks this week 
for Self Transcendence race number 6. Nurari took gold 
medal in the womens event with a superb time of 15.21 - 
proof that long hours working in a vegetarian caf� can be 
a recipe for success. Sarah and Agnes from Edinburgh 
claimed second and third place. Among the "transcenders" 
from last week were Diane and the aforementioned Nurari; 
also Bhashini, Indrani and Paula who all got their 
"season's best" times after weeks of steady improvement - 
a great achievement.

Roger hung on to first place in the men' race in a slower 
time than usual, probably the result of a racing ascent 
of Snowdon on his birthday (sorry, had to mention that). 
Dave and Ambarish came second and third in 11.56 and 12.10 
respectively (Ambarish's time a season's best). Suswara 
was the other male "transcender" with a 5 second 
improvement (though we think his best is yet to come).

Nurari takes the prize this week for both winning and 
improving her time. A small award is also on it's way 
to Sarada and Bithika for their heroics in the Cambridge 
race. I wasn't there, but I'm told a local tree (who 
had obviously been watching Lord of The Rings on DVD) 
uprooted itself and charged onto the track, attacking 
the hapless Sarada mid-race. In all seriousness though, 
the Cambridge centre leader did have a nasty collision 
and bravely finished the race despite a head injury - 
Bithika running with her to see her home safely.
