The Day belonged to remembrance, national pride, colors of the flag, hot dogs, and American history, as the group of Eight stalwarts moved forward on the Fourth of July. The race leader Ashprihanal Aalto led the parade of American heroes played by the rag-tag runners past the Enthusiasm Singers to begin the festivities, albeit for a few seconds along their journey of the bright summer day.  Mr Aalto also again led the scoring on Day 19 with 67.5 well-earned miles to gradually extend his lead over Nirbhasa Magee to 23+ miles. The field kept its promise to show up another day, making it back to back results with seven runners over 60 miles. The low to mid-nineties ‘ temps forced everyone to be careful, but nice evening breezes cooled things down. Ashprihanal passed the 2000km split for the 15th time in his career. That is an amazing stat, but is just the beginning of the litanies of praise directed to the Finnish runner.
