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.It was the great Italian leader Andrea Marcato who maintained the race today as he reached over 1200 miles and increased his lead over Ashprihanal Aalto to 33 miles. The results from yesterday added another four men to the 1,000 mile mark had a push for third, fourth and fifth place. Like last year, Wei-Ming Lo is getting stronger as the race progresses. Yesterday he ran his second straight day of 75.7 miles to grab third place, the steady Pushkar Mullauer ran a solid 71.3 miles for fourth place, and Budjalgal Byambaa ran to the fifth spot with 64.7 miles.
Today two new runners got their first 1000 mile result. At the early start of Day 16 Radu Budan from Moldova reached the 1000 in 15:01:47:29. The first lady of this year’s race Annabel Hepworth from Australia reached the mark in 15:11:32:42. She has been very steady and consistent for every day, and is averaging 63,72 miles per day/ 102.54 km. As it was mentioned in yesterday’s revelation that Wei-Ming Lo may have made an over 60-age 1000-mile best, the list of known 60-plus men who have completed their 1000-mile time is worth revealing. Here it is:
- William Sichel, UK (60) 2018- 17:05:20:32 (New York)
- John Wallis, USA (63) 2000- 16:00:07:50 (New York)
