The worst heat wave in two years has passed and the 12 runners are still about their business. There is a sense of relief but the engines are not firing on all cylinders. Except for four runners the others failed to make 60 miles. Vasu Duzhiy from Russia climbed into second place with a day-leading 65.3 miles. Nidhruvi Zimmerman again led the ladies with 63.1 miles. Now is the time that will show us who has the strength and make-up to reach the lofty goal.
