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.Day 43 saw an early foretaste of the coming storm. A couple of hours of rain, though at the moment not too heavy. Andrea Marcato went past 2800 miles today in a time of 42d:02:22:54. In relative terms, it seems the finish is getting closer. But it is worth bearing in mind, even running 300 miles is still a huge challenge. Runners prefer not to get too far ahead, concentrating only on the present moment and present day.
In a race this long, anything can happen; nevertheless, on the current schedule, you can tentatively pencil in possible finish times for the runners. All being well, the race could see eight finishers, including four first-timers.
Daily average end of day 43
Mahasatya Janczak was once again the leading runner of the day with 65.8 miles. In his interview, he mentioned the curious phenomenon that in a race this long, the body can in some respects, get stronger and in some respects, get weaker. He is certainly growing into the race and finishing strongly. Mahasatya says that as the race progresses, he finds his concentration improves, getting into the flow of the race.
