The day started with lingering clouds, southeasterly breezes, and moderate, middle 80º F temps. This was a recipe for good production from the Group of Eight. Late in the afternoon a passing shower was the beginning of the wet weather to come. On cue, the storms entered the area with stiff breezes and light rain, which turned to stormy weather in minutes, but only faint lightning, and zero thunder. The runners pursued on, changing to raingear, light umbrellas to bigger fellows, and then finally, survival gear. Nirbhasa Magee broke best in the rain, reaching 65.85 miles to gather the Day Leader colors. Vasu Duzhiy was one lap behind, with Smarana Puntigam a few more laps back. Harita Davies and Todor Dimitrov ran well through the rain, never stopping until it was time to go home. The whole group passed another test, have become toughened through adversity, and seem to be dealing well with the obstacles in front. Seven of eight are still on pace to finish within the 52 days. Stay tuned, there may be a break-out day or two coming from the prime stallions in the next weeks.
