There was no rain during Day 2, so the 12 runners, having a smaller sleep pattern after the first day running ended at midnight, started off in the clockwise direction, hoping their feet and legs were ready for the hard surface again. Andrea Marcato took off with full regalia. After winning the past four events, Mr Marcato has a really intriguing test in this year's event with Asprihanal starting the race in fantastic form.
Day One’s hero was Ashprihanal Aalto, and Mr Aalto played possom for 9 or 10 hours, running but not chasing Andrea until the sun moved away just before 7.00 pm. After a brief rest, Ashprihanal clicked into his famous fifth power shift. He was nearly five miles behind Andrea until he keep getting closer and closer to the Italian great runner. Remember Mr Marcoto ended up with 82.3 miles for the second day, after 95.4 miles on Day 1.
Ashprihanal kept the legs moving, reaching 85 miles, after the tremendous 96.5 miles on the first day, leaving the scoreboard to show 181.5 miles after two days. Budjargal Byambaa kept his legs moving to maintain third place with an excellent 76.8 miles today. Annabell Hepworth showed her excellent running, catching 70.74 miles today, after the first day of 78.9 miles. Pushkar Mullaer reached a total of 148.6 miles for two days and has moved into fifth place.
