The top three runners today showed their outer and inner strength. Men’s Leader Andrea Marcato and Women's leader Tsai Wen-Ya both touched 130 laps (71.3 miles), though Wen-Ya went home an hour ahead of Andrea. The third savant of the group- Wei-Ming Lo- reached 135 laps- 74.0 miles today. He thrilled the counters and officials, running seven or eight laps in five minutes, plus ten or 20 seconds. He was smooth as a daisy for several hours this afternoon and evening - a superb display from the 59-year–old athlete. The secret reason for the speed display- Wei-Ming was impressed with Wen-Ya and her brilliant race so far. Today, Wen-Ya passed 1900 miles in a new women’s total of 28 days+04:50:07. She eclipsed the effort of Kaneenika Janakova- the current all-time record holder - who had run 30 days+03:05:35 in the summer of 2017.
The pleasant weather and no rain allowed the runners to do their best.
