Day four of Heat Wave II produced high temps, intense sun, few breezes and a little cloud covering late. The field paid the price for just being out on the course, but stalwarts they are. Six of the twelve made it to sixty miles, led again by Sarvagata Ukrainskyi and his 68.05. Atmavir Spacil has climbed to within 18 miles of first place, after being down by 52 just three days ago. That is how this race can turn- a couple bad days and the other runners make up big ground. But with 850 more miles to go and the end of the heat wave in sight, anything can happen. And probably will. Meanwhile the Austrian ladies are smashing out the miles, oblivious to heat so far and making all the right choices.They both touched 62.01 miles with smiles on their faces and miles in the bank. With twenty more days to go the race is picking up momentum.Stay tuned, as there seems to be some fireworks coming when the weather changes. Today the temps hit 96ºF, with more to come.
