On the fourth day of summer the temps rose, the humidity flew up, and the miles kept coming in. Ashprihanal Aalto recorded 74.08 miles to lead the day honors and solidify his upward mobility in the standings. And this after feeling ill the day before and sad about his pedestrian 63 miles on Sunday. In all ten men and women moved past 60 miles again, and all 12 are still in place to finish.
Atmavir Spacil continues to hold the leader’s jersey with a 69.14 mile day and a total of 634.96 miles collected in 9 days. Surasa Mairer leads the women forward with 569.1 miles, and Sarah Barnett moved up the ladder one place while recording her third straight day above 60 miles. The hot humid weather touched 90ºF but a small t-storm clouded up the area for a few hours and reduced the blazing sun for a good portion of the afternoon. The heat should be around for another four or five days.Have a happy summer oh denizens of the Northern Hemisphere.
