High clouds blocked some of the hot sun, the temperature not getting above 87ºF. This was a set-up for some fine quick running by the group of eight, led again by the trio of runners at the top. Vasu Duzhiy ran to midnight with 68 miles and a bevy of fast laps the last few hours. Nirbhasa Magee, firmly in second place, had his best day since day 4 with 66.4 miles, making a crisp 1300 miles by days’ end. And Ashprihanal Aalto sauntered past 70.7 miles, working on form, and a pair of new Adidas Boosts in fave colors. His best accessory was his Chinese sun hat, shaped similar to a lampshade, making him a fashion icon, at least in his own mind. In all, six of eight flipped past sixty miles, even with the humidity at 80% for much of the evening. The group moves on, regardless of performance today, for tomorrow is, indeed, another day, another opportunity to reach new heights, or have new experiences. Keep it going runners.
