The weather was near perfect again today, the temps stayed moderate, the runners felt a little better and more engaged, since this chosen sport of multi-day running and racing requires deep commitment and a strong will to surmount the toughest of obstacles. Andrea Marcato, the Italian athlete with impressive performances, is beginning to click. He reached 75.1856 (120.99km) miles today, again running the last two laps in 9:00 minutes like the previous two nights. He does not look worse for wear when the night is over. He is the new wave of runners who challenge the difficult events with confidence, and sheer energy, as well as remarkable powers of recovery. He is not wearing carbon-plated, controversial shoes, he is just unveiling his abilities, lap after lap, often without someone to hand him food or a few drinks of fruit juice as he wizzes past. Meanwhile, Vasu Duzhiy, in second position, had to settle for 68.05 miles (109.51km), and dropped back about 6 miles more to the Italian leader Andrea. Wei Ming Lo ran 62.56 miles (100.68km) to keep in the mix for a solid finish. Harita Davies remained in fourth overall, but worked hard to get the 109 laps needed to maintain her cushion of laps. Overall, five runners made it past 60 miles. Takasumi Senoo from Japan showed more snap in his step, running well throughout the day.
