Stutisheel Lebedyev from Kiev, Ukraine led the way with 65.85 miles as only four runners made it over 60 miles for the day. Mr Lebedyev has climbed from 14th to tenth place in only three days with an impressive four day streak. Asprihanal Aalto still leads overall with 779.29 miles, an average of 70.84 miles per day. Temps stayed in the low 80ºs with reduced humidity as the pack is still feeling their way towards a fitness level that can sustain their efforts. Quite often we,as observers are lulled into thinking this race is easy- it is not! However the runners cheerfulness and abilities always seem to overcome the most difficult obstacles. More later.
