Day 15: Wen-Ya Goes Past 1000 Miles

Day 15, September 14, 2023

Wen-Ya Tsai, 53, from North District Taichung City, Taiwan (ROC), passed 1000 miles, reaching the distance in 14days+08:08:08. She is currently in second place overall, and has become a new force in multiday running, not only in Taiwan, but also in Asia, as well as in women over 50 years of age. Her 1000 Mile places her in the fastest 10 women who ever passed the kilo distance in and on a road course. Her finish for 1000 miles was the seventh best for the all-time female athletes.

On Thursday, the Taiwanese hero and two–time finisher of the 3100- Wei-Ming Lo- will be in a position to break his own best time for the 1000 mile distance. At age 59, Wei-Ming is still running his best ever as he flyes and floats along the 3100 Mile Race course.

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 took over the race today, totalling 76.2 miles/ 122.6 km. Ashprihanal Aalto was a little down in his running today, getting 70.2 miles/ 112.97 km. He still keeps five straight days of over 70 miles in a row. Budjargal Beyambaa had a slow start that almost allowed himself to consider having had enough. But good for him, he started running back to his quick pace for the last 6 or 7 hours to bring himself to holding on to third place and reach 51 miles in a personal redeeming restart. Pushkar and Vasu were at even from yesterday as a tie for fourth place Today Pushkar pulled three miles ahead of Vasu and maintained another solid day, just under 70 miles. We-Ming Lo reached 800 miles today in a time of 11:15:19:31. He is getting to the level he found last year, when his last 16 days were amazing, and carried himself to a 3100-mile finish in 45 days +8 hours.

Annapel Hepworth reached 700 miles for the first time in 10 days+14:19:58. She seems to be enjoying her first 3100 Mile Race. And she likes the letters. So keep those cards and letters coming in.
