Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race 2017 - Daily Updates - Day 20
Daily Diary
Friday July 7th
A day of three heavy rain showers and not too warm sunshine.
Now day 20, and runners have either settled in to a good rhythm or still frustratingly searching for some level of comfort or pain they can bear.
Vasu and Nirbhasa for the men and Kaneenika for the women, the leading three seemed to have reached that rhythm. Although a long way to go they look pretty safe to finish. The next group of Smarana, Harita and Yolanda, have all had their issues, but appear to have found a way through them or just able to put up with great discomfort. For the remaining four are slipping worrying below the "red" line of 1193 miles on day 20. Even the "Sichel" line is looking difficult. The "Sichel" line as it is know locally refers to William's comeback position.
The heavy rain showers certainly played a part in slightly lower mileages. As not only have they to battle against the rain and wind but feet get wet and more time required in their care.
Also the battle between Harita and Yolanda continues with Harita only 2 laps ahead of Yolanda.
