With half the field going past sixty miles today,the race had a normalcy with not much variation. Atmavir Spacil assumed the day leader emblem with 66.4 miles and lengthened his lead as well. He is averaging 65.25 miles per day(105.01 km).With eight days before his probable finish a week Friday, he looks the strongest. Vasu Duzhiy is 19 miles back but could probably finish on that same day next week if he can maintain his energy. Today was cool and overcast, downright cold; if you recall that just a week earlier it was 30 degrees hotter during the daytime. The runners keep going and giving what they have left. Sarah Barnett passed 2000 miles for the first time in her multi day career.And with just 12 days left the effort is still there for everyone. Good luck to all ultra runners.
