Day 2
A somewhat drier day led our running heroes to continue the struggle. Asprihanal Aalto from Helsinki,Finland, he of the nine previous finishes, led once more from start to finish with 74.63 miles, closely followed by Pranjal Milovnik with 71.34 miles. The second and third days are usually the toughest in a multiday as one’s body is still in shock from the effort at full strength, so second or third day totals are predictably less. First-timer Dharbhasana Lynn had a better second day with 63.66 miles, so that theory is skewed a bit. But the routine of running from early morning to almost midnight is hard to duplicate in training, so one never knows what to expect the first time through a superlong run.
More later.
