With temps in the mid nineties and the humidity index soaring, our remarkable band of runners willed their way around the sun-baked course to continue their journey. Asprihanal Aalto ran 67.50 miles to lead the pack again, gaining more ground on Galya V. Balatskyy, who ran 61.46 miles, and Pranjal Milovnik, who also ran 61.46 miles. You can see the difficulty in running or even being outdoors on days like this in the runners’ demeanor – they are more withdrawn and cautious but almost unable to answer the simplest of questions – until they come back to the root of the problem.
