The top three runners each ran over 70 miles today, with Grahak Cunningham edging Asprihanal Aalto by one lap (71.89 to 71.34). Mr. Aalto seems mostly recovered from his distress of last Sunday. Petr Spacil ran 70.24 miles – his third straight foray into 70+ territory and fourth in seven days. Four other lucky runners made it over 60 miles, with Vladimir Balatsky moving into fourth place with 68.05 miles. The temps were in the low 80ºs with bright sun and less humidity, but still no scorchers in the next 4 days or so.
