After the excitement of Andrea’s finish last night, all seemed calm this morning. The course was bathed in bright sunshine, but there was a noticeable autumnal chill in the air. After picking up a bug, Jason Lester has spent two days off the course, resting up. It was good to see him return to the course today feeling much better but still not 100%. His previous multi-day adventures embraced running across entire continents. He has run across the USA, Europe and Australia, together with running the complete length of the Great Wall of China. On those adventures, time was never an issue as he logged mile after mile. The 3100-mile race offered Jason a new and different challenge in a race situation. His aim has always been to be here for 52 days, whatever happened, to experience the unique nature of the race, and find out a bit more about himself. He has really embraced the challenge of the 3100. In a race of this nature over several weeks, with the body under constant strain, sickness is always a possibility. Today, he power walked a few laps to see how he is feeling and says if improvement continues, he may come and run tomorrow. We are all hoping so. The race has missed him the last two days.
