Maniac# 3502

Yes!! I have been accepted to the Insane Asylum, at the Iridium level for my 21 races in 365 days streak. Thanks to Bjorg, Kino and Steve. Since I was already a part of the ICY 8HR Maniac picture, there was no other way but to sign up for the Maniac Asylum. The registration process went pretty smoothly and an email showed up in my inbox later.

Naresh, at last you have found refuge, a place where you can call home, where the Insane can feel Sane again, and once again be treated like a normal human being.

That sentence sure brought a smile to my face. I’ll be treated like a human being once again. As soon as I got the credentials, I logged in as a maniac and entered my past race details. The GUI and the overall feel of the website were OK but definitely have room for improvement.

While entering my race details, I felt truly blessed for having the opportunity to run so many marathons/ultras, and even luckier for not having any DNFs so far. Somewhere along the way, my Ultra count exceeded the Marathon numbers. Such is my love for trail running and ultra marathons.

Hoping to run many more Ultras/Marathons in the coming years. I would like to thank all my running buddies, friends, RDs and my family for their constant support and encouragement. You are the best!!
