It was a strange day, this penultimate Thursday of the race. The virtual podium runners each failed to make triple digits, an occurrence that might have happened eight years ago in 2011. The temperature hardly touched 84ºF, with moderate humidity and a few breezes around the course, suggesting more laps were available for running. And to top it off, the two lowest on the totem turned in the highest performances. Todor Dimitrov, ‘El Capitan’, turned in his best day since Day 29 to vault into the plus column by four laps, and secure his Day Leader moniker (115 laps- 63.11 miles). The caboose of the group, Ushika Muckenhumer, racked up 114 laps to reach 2100 miles, his best day since Day 2. The two men were the only runners to top 60 miles. We shall see if the rest of the group can rebound from a tough week now behind them, since this is what we all must do- forget the past, and move forward. Learn from our mistakes and carry on. Twelve days left. Thanks for the increased support everyone, and the many new visitors. Multi-day races need more support, worldwide.
