Day 17  It was an unusual day right from the start. The Department of Public Works closed the street where our vehicles are parked on the famous 84th Avenue, and ripped apart the road 's complete ashphalt topping, necessitating a short reparking of the vehicles the night before onto the vacant esplanade along the course. The uprooting of their temporaries did not affect the runners very much, as seven of 11 rolled past sixty miles, including three above the 70 line. With heavy machinery whining just to their left, the runners held their ground- Ashprihanal Aalto threw down another 77.3 mile day to break open the race at the top. (See below the results of his race on this day). Atmavir Petr Spacil fell back a little and lost his seventy plus streak. Galya V. Balatskyy held his streak of 17 straight intact with 70.79. Vasu Duzhiy recorded his sixth day over 70 out of the last seven with 71.34. Nirbhasa Magee moved back into sixth place with 60+ miles. Surasa Mairer and Kaneenika Janakova both eclipsed the 1000 mile mark only minutes apart from each other. They each are building a small 'plus miles' zone as the race starts to shorten with each new day. 

Ashprihanal Aalto-2000km-16 days+01:51:44  (second fastest in 3100 history). 1300 miles-16 days+15:17:13 (third best all-time, any event)

Ashprihanal Aalto- world best -17 days-1311.6320 miles (2110.8669 km).

Surasa Mairer-1000 miles=16 days+07:47:46

Kaneenika Janakova-1000 miles=16 days+08:13:20
