Day 30, September, 29, 2023

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.

The overcast and cloudy skies gave the runners a chance to put up some good numbers, but the dark skies led to a flow of rain, which lasted until midnight. Tsai Wen-Ya went past the 2000 mile mark in a new women’s total- 29 days +12:25:21 before the rain started to fall. She passed the former leader Kaneenika Janakova, who had created the best in 2016. The Slovakian had led all women in 31 days+05:54:14. Wei-Ming Lo was again the Day leader, as he reached 71.3 miles. He passed the 3000km early in the day- his third time to reach that fine distance.

Andrea Marcato extended his lead to over 70+ miles over second place Ashprihanal Aalto in our Day 34 of the 3100 Mile Race.

Mr Marcato reached 3,900 KMs in 33:08:04:46, and seemed as smooth as silk. A few hours later Ashprihanal reached 3800 km in 33:10:02:29. Third place runner Wei-Ming Lo went past 3700 km in 33:13:52:41. Then a few hours later Wei-Ming ran past the 2300 Mile Mark, in 33:14:03:21. Radu Budan had moved into fifth place overall and had passed 3,500 kms in 33:02:11:38. Some seven hours later Radu passed 2,200 miles in 33:09:29:12.

But the strong runner Vasu Duzhiy ran 66.9 miles to reach 3,500 km in 32:02:57:28. His reaching 2,200 miles was quicker as he made it in 33:09:59:26. Radu had a longer break, so Vasu passed Radu in the early evening and moved back into fifth place. Annabel Hepworth clicked again today, as she reached 3300km in 33:01:25:06. In the evening Annabel reached the 2100 Mile mark in a fine time of 33:15:01:46. Again there was no rain in Queens today, so running was a true choice.
