Today it was cold, around 5 degree Celsius. The sunny parts of the day  were around 10 Celsius. Luckily no rain.

Ananda-Lahari unfortunately had to go back to walking today. But it seems it does not affect his mood very much. 

I asked him if he had a highlight on day 32. His answer was that he did not have something like a cosmic experience, but he can feel Sri Chinmoy at the course. He even said that he had a wonderful day talking to the Master, smiling and crying to him, and that the Race is perfect for him because it gives him many hours every day to do that kind of thing.

Ushika made again third place today with 100,1 km. The day was difficult for him but easier than yesterday, which reflects on his mileage, which is 4km higher than yesterday. 

Milan walked again most of the day and started to jog a little. It seemed he made his break too late, after nearly 10 hours of walking. That set him back a little for the night shift. Hopefully he can arrange his day better tomorrow. He said he believes that tomorrow he will run more. He closed his day with still very good 81,4 km. 

Nirbhasa is back. He very easily jogged his laps and closed the day at midnight with solid 106,4 km, which brought him the second place for the Day.

Today a little before midnight we had 4 of the runners coming into the tent to get their things ready to go home. Only Milan went home a little earlier. 

Winner of the day was Andrea Marcato with another great performance of 114,8 km. If Andrea keeps going like this he might finish in 12 days- which would be awesome!

In the afternoon we had our national TV station visiting the race. The TV team interviewed a few runners and a few of us helpers. 

The cameraman was being pulled by Max in our bike trailer to film some of the runners. Which was quite amusing.

Andrea Marcato has 843 miles to reach his goal, so if he can average 70 miles (112.7km) for 12 days he indeed will finish the race.

Nirbhasa is getting his swagger back, in terms of his steady running. Some like it cool to cold. Ushika is steady as he goes again, and could get near his personal best if his efforts continue. Milan is setting personal distance marks with every step, so no matter what distance he reaches after 52 days, he will have gone four or five times more than he has ever run.
