Sankara The Stage Play at The Musical Society Of Nigeria, Nigeria, Sun, 22 Apr 2018 at 2:30 PM, Get Tickets

Tejvan Pettinger of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team finished 7th, in a time of 1.06. The event was held at Cadwell Motor Park and the Lincolnshire countryside. Sri Chinmoy told him that while patience was needed to do long distance swimming, “you also need to develop speed,” as “speed is determination”. In reminiscing about these phone calls, Karteek remembers that while outwardly at times he might wonder what the point would be in repeating the swim, in each case Sri Chinmoy acted as the “perfect psychologist” as he puts it. Karteek agreed readily and proceeded to do just that, undergoing adverse conditions and having difficult crossings on each occasion.

He had an excellent experience, and this reenergized his swimming. In 1999 Karteek successfully entered and completed the Lake Zürich 26-km race put on by the Swiss Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. Finally, in 1997 he had his breakthrough first successful Channel crossing, which he describes as a “long hard swim” that took 11 hours and 57 minutes. (to put this in perspective, he routinely does two back-to-back days of six hours each for his crossings these days) However, unlike most people (such as 99.99% of us), he went down to Dover shortly after and spent only a few weeks swimming in the harbor, perhaps doing one six-hour swim, his longest swim ever up to that time!

• While Linda was trying to get some bananas for me from the night market, I went to the race info once again – I was feeling OK.
• At point afterwards, Sri Chinmoy called and asked Karteek how many times he had swum the Channel.
• It is from this founding prophecy that Pierre-Christophe Gam’s latest body of work draws its name.
• The bike leg is a tough 17km course, with some substantial hills.
• Of course it did get more and more difficult, but we all pulled together and everyone finished.
• On the first day, I was sick and this continued for much of the first week; as a result, I had to recalibrate my timescale.

Before the race we never assessed what delivering 210km would mean in terms of positioning, but it was largely irrelevant, this event was about going the distance and learning from the experience. As the sun set, France was looming – and all through the night, the lights were just there before us – though day had dawned before the pilot finally declared the water too shallow for the boat to proceed and bid Karteek to swim ashore alone. My goal was to try and achieve the GB team qualifying distance for the World 24 hr champs next year 210 km (131 miles), but just didn’t expect I could run over 140 miles.”

• In a brilliantly effective anti-congestion move there were four waves of starts at four different times.
• Similar gains were made in health, with the immunisation of millions of children, and education in a country which had had over 90% illiteracy.
• There were times when – even though Karteek was always swimming forwards and towards France due to the tide and the curvature of the coastline, he was actually moving further away from the shore.
• Then the rest of the hour was free, so I could check out how things were going in the counting area, chat to the refreshment people, or just watch the runners (quite hypnotic, you can do it for hours!).
• The idea kept gnawing away at me until I felt that I should, in Sri Chinmoy’s words, “dare to try” – for the experience if nothing else!
• After four successful crossings, Sri Chinmoy again called and this time told Karteek that he should swim the Channel three more times!

Well my first shocking experience was when after the second helf point turn I noticed that I needed 47 minutes for one quarter of the loop. Three hundred athletes from thirty six countries started together in the warm waters of the jetty. First time in my life, I really trained for a race and I could feel why Sri Chinmoy puts such an emphasis on importance of physical fitness. I read the “Spiritual meaning of the Triathlon” by Sri Chinmoy and a card from my dear friend Alison (Ironman New Zealand finisher) before I went to bed. While Linda was trying to get some bananas for me from the night market, I went to the race info once again – I was feeling OK. The day before the race we had the bus tour on the course, the race briefing, and the bike and gear check-in.

The competition is between the runner and the distance not the individual competitors. I always feel it as soon as I arrive at the track in the evening after work Sankra Casino and found myself a little surprised in the first few hours because it wasn’t there. At this time the rest of the world ceases to exist and its just the runners, counters and helpers and together they create this amazing atmosphere. Agnes finished the Langkawi International Ironman Triathlon in a time of 16 hours 28 minutes, the cut-off time was 17 hours. I would never even make it to the start without the help and inspiration of all these people. People with iron bodies, oneness hearts, sweet smiles.

Yes the second half was going to be considerably slower and I could already feel my body protesting, but I was going to complete the race! Each loop is 3 miles; long enough for you to feel you’ve achieved something with each lap, but short enough for you to survive until the medical tent if you get any problems. It gave me so much joy to see my very slow times gradually improve over the weeks and I will never forget the feeling of absolute euphoria and gratitude when I completed my first 4 mile race. Thomas Sankara had great belief in people – not just the people of Burkina Faso or Africa, but people across the world.

Well, as runners, we all know the feeling you get when you are so close to something, and for whatever reason it doesn’t quite work. The riders took a challenging 28.7 mile circuit which included a lap of the motor racing circuit and three laps on closed roads. Now that Sri Chinmoy is no longer with us physically, Karteek still feels an inner urge to continue his Channel swimming; he has completed eleven at the time of writing. After four successful crossings, Sri Chinmoy again called and this time told Karteek that he should swim the Channel three more times! Cresta Valtrion
