A hot,sticky day could not thwart our heroes from their intended destination-at least the top three, who all landed beyond the 70 mile mark. Pranab Vladovic ran a smooth 71.34 miles;Grahak Cunningham stayed later and reached 70.79 miles, and race leader Asprihanal Aalto made it to 70 miles, passing the 2700 mile split enroute(2700 miles=38 days+10:38:20). A short but furious thunderstorm came up at 1030pm, after hours of lightning and teasing winds.Still, the whole group stayed and continued the onslaught towards high miles. The top seven are in tremendous shape!
