Day 10 The Essence of ‘Moving Day’

Under bright sunny skies, pleasant temps and lower humidity the gang of twelve continued on their procession of miles while going nowhere. Day Ten revealed the first obvious average mileage per day stat. Like other sports, it is there in the open. Unlike other sports it is also just a stepping stone since the race is sooo long and the mileage does not tell the whole story this early in the contest. Sarvagata Ukrainskyi led the way with 72.44 miles, followed closely by overall leader Grahak Cunningham(70.24) and Pushkar Mullauer(70.24). Vasu Duzhiy regained some strength after suffering from deep blisters in his left foot for the last four days. One can see a visible smoothness emerging in the running gaits. Arpan DeAngelo the oldest runner in the race-(59) has developed a more fluid style after the uncertain struggle of the first few days.As the summer days have grown long the race is ever changing as well. It should be very interesting in the weeks to come. Stay tuned!!
