Day 8: Cloudy and Cool,Then Warm Again

Kobi Oren and Vasu Duzhiy continue to amaze, as both men are averaging 75.18 and 74.71 miles per day, respectively (120.99, and 120.23km). Today was Vasu’s time to lead, as he reached 72.44 miles, taking back four laps from Kobi’s 11-lap lead. Both men have run at least 70+ miles every day of the race. The other striking development is that Yolanda Holder walked 119 laps today-65.3 miles, which led the ladies, and more importantly, placed her two laps ahead of even par through eight days of multi-day competition. She is now in ninth place and only five laps away from the deadlock at seventh place. There appears to be no stopping the ‘Walking Diva’ as she calls herself. We’ll see what the reigning women’s record-holder and the former women’s record-holder might say about that.
