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 continued his relentless running chores to reach another excellent day of 74.0 miles, done in a list of 135 laps. He also reached the total of 1600 miles, a strong total in 21:10:30:18.The Italian has taken over the lead in his fifth 3100 races.
A surprise today was the leading total of 146 laps performed by Budjargal Byambaa, which placed him back in the early days of this 28th 3100 Mile Race. He woke up and moved out of his smaller totals from several of the last two weeks. Today he was the leader with 80.1 miles. Along the way Budjargal reached 1,400 miles for the first time in his effort of 21:12:53:03. This was another national record for Mongolia.
Another fine effort came from 60-years young runner Lo Wei-Ming, the Taiwan national hero who came through the 1500 miles in 21:16:53: 03 ,which contributed Wei-Ming’s effort to reach 68.6 miles, and still in a solid third place.
Ananda-Lahari Zuscin became the eleventh runner to pass the 1000 mile mark. Every once in a while Ananda-Lahari is able to put in extraordinary efforts in a single, and fashions a good effort to make a mark. Remember, Ananda-Lahari has six complete finishes of running the races over the 20 years. His time was 21:01:49:30 today.
