Soulstice Shakti: 8th Podium in 7th Different Sport of 2009


after riding my mountain bike to the Start Line in sub-freezing temps,
i, photo right, attempt to squeeze onto the
singletrack at Soulstice, which comes only 12 seconds after the Start Line!
the summit of the course is at 8,900'...a climb of 1,100' in only 1.5 miles.
you gotta be ready to go Red Line off the line!

i ran only two times in three weeks before this race...
what i did do?
HP Yoga® and living the WF Lifestyle Principles...

"if we really want something sacred from our Fitness,

we must risk comfort.
we must risk becoming more whole and finding Santosha in what i call, "being an Endless Beginner"...

Sacredness is a training effect from Wholeness.
Ego is a training effect from Specialization."

- excerpt from Ilg's Race Report from Soulstice Mountain Trail Race, this past Saturday;
you
DO
NOT
WANT TO MISS THE DHARMA OF THIS TEACHING!
it transcends podium athletics
and dives you into the SPIRIT WORLD!
