Day 34 - The Sun - 3100 Mile Race

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 sun finally came out on the runners after a difficult few weeks of rain. The better weather raised spirits and helped the runners pick up the pace. Susan Marshall who has impressed in her debutant race, cheerfully passed through the 2,000 mile mark and still has a good chance of finishing the race at her first attempt.

About the author:

Budjargal Byambaa was the day's leader with a mighty impressive 79.5 miles. Andrea Marcato from Italy retains the overall lead and should pass 2,000 miles today. The 2nd best runner of the day was Wei Ming Lo who ran 69.6 miles to consolidate 3rd place. It is the same as 2023 when Wei Ming Lo got stronger as the race went on. Pushkar Mullauer, back to the race after a long absence has been remarkably steady, consistently posting 65+ mile days. Vasu Duzhiy, a three-time winner is also posting consistent days of 60+ miles to leave him poised with 1,783 miles after 27 days.

Radu Budan is a first-time entrant and has really grown into the race managing to average 65.7 miles so far. First lady and also first-time entrant, Annabel Hepworth from Australia is also managing to produce a consistent daily mileage. She averages 62.4 miles to give herself a good buffer. Stutisheel, Ananda and Nina all have great experiences with this race and persevere with their own daily self-transcendence on this famous course.
