About the author:
Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.
Andrea Marcato continued his powerful lead at the front of the 3100 Mile Race. He reached 4200km in 36:01:12:32 this morning, then reached 4300 km in 36:17:05:37 in the final hour of today. His total for the day was 71.8 miles, exactly where he wanted it at the end. Budjargal Byambaa went past 3700km in 36:02:49:29, then a lap later he reached 2300 miles in 36:02:57:26- both area distances he had never attained in a previous race before. Radu Budan went past 3800 km in 36:03:32:02. About 11 hours later he reached 2400 miles in 36:14:24:17.Wei-Ming Lo touched 4000km in 36:09:47:24. About three and a half hours later he reached 2500 miles in 36:13:27:23.
As it was mentioned yesterday, Annabel Hepworth withdrew from yesterday, with a plan to continue running. This morning she withdrew after 8.2 miles and visited a doctor. She decided she could not continue, as her right foot was not doing well. She finished with 2,185.95 miles/ 3517.945 km. She plans to recover here in New York, and stay near the race for the final 15 days or so. We miss Annabel the best and hope for her complete recovery.
