Day 4: Drizzle Down Economics

The band of Eight have had their share of bands of moisture the last three days, today being the 98% humidity day and night. Vasu Duzhiy continued on, oblivious to the weather or a sense of struggle. He, being  fit enough to throw down 71.3 miles on the fourth day, leads Ananda-Lahari Zuscin by nearly 24 miles.  Ashprihanal Aalto struggled again, reaching a modest 57.6 miles whilst slipping to fourth overall, with the trailing runner Nirbhasa Magee only three laps behind the Finn. Smarana Puntigam looks fit again, and with a 62.5 mile day has risen to third place. Only four runners reached 60 miles.  Several runners have blister issues due to relentless moisture and little time to heal. Normal for a slog fest, but a bit unusual for this very long competition. Luckily, there are still 48 days to go.
