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 weather was not bad again today, and the middle of the day allowed the runners to get along well with running on the 0.48406 of a mile course. Ashprihanal Aalto was able to resume his excellent running after two days of a head and throat cold.
He and Andrea Marcato eventually reached 132 laps each, around the course. They both moved nine laps closer to the Mongolian wizard Budjargal Byambaa who has led for the last two days. These three men ahead in the race have also pulled the rest of the field forward to their own discovery, as each 3100 mile race has its own exploits revealed in so many ways.
There are still 10 people out of the 12 runners who can at least have a chance to make the last day, or even sooner a happy if not glorious final result. The past history of this event shows an average of about 60 percent will finish the 5,653 laps within the 52 days. There are still 44 days left. We certainly wish all the runners a chance to reach their goals.
