The supposed heat wave + Five had the intense sun strength to make us all stay inside, with the fan on top speed, except, of course, for the runners in search of destiny and a rise to the top of the lists - except for us ‘helpers inside for the search for colder areas’. Actually, the helpers on duty are suffering for their shift, just as others have, and will again this afternoon and evening.
The runners retained their effort today, as the temperature reached 95º again. Luckily the temps droped and the sky was somewhat covered over in gray skies. Andrea Marcato toped 685.5 miles. Tsai Wen-Ya received 629 miles to maintain her incredible effort. Wai-ming Lo retained third place overall with 580.7 miles. Vasu Duzhiy moved into fourth place, reaching 565.9 miles. The big surprise was Nina (Huang Lang-Yang) reaching fifth overall with 559.92 miles. She has sensed the need to be as consistent as possible, to finish this 3100 Mile event, which is her year-long effort. She finished about 0.5 miles ahead of Adrian Papuc (559.37 miles).
Tomorrow is Day 10, a modest milestone, but a somewhat cooler day. We shall see!
