A very humid,hot summer day in New York was dominated by talk about a storm passing the area with high winds and heavy rain. Hurricane Arthur was expected to head towards Nova Scotia and mostly bypass our area. The winds and rain did not stop anyone from competing in the race, even though the elements are not at full force yet. Least affected was Sarvagata Ukrainskyi, who went past 1300 miles with another 70+ mile day. In all, nine runners crossed the 60 mile per day barrier. Sarah Barnett still leads the women and has a firm grip on fifth place overall. Happy Fourth of July everyone!!!
