Andrea Marcato maintained his position ahead of Ashprihanal with a solid 72.4 miles. The smooth-running Mr Aalto reached 75.1 miles to move a bit closer to the Italian athlete, who happens to be 12 years younger than the Finish overall record holder. Both men should pass the 1000 mile mark on today-Thursday, as well as the 1500km mark. Budjargal had another sub par day with 46.1 miles, but he reached a new personal and national best of 900 miles in 12 days+17:02:12.
Fourth placer Pushkar Mullauer has moved closer to third place as he posted another day with 67.5 miles. He is only 12 miles behind third place and has been consistent since the start day. Only Day 8 was a few laps below 60 miles, and the rest of his output has been near or over 65 to 67 mile days. Pushkar, Vasu and Wei-Ming Lo should pass the 900 mile mark on Thursday, so there will be quite a few horns and bells throughout the day.
Annabel Hepworth
Annabel Hepworth is very solid and is running very smoothly, with no sub-par days at all. Grahak Cunningham is running quite well, and he looks like the fine runner he was from 2011 and 2012.
