Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race 2017 – Daily Updates – Day 42
Daily Diary
Saturday 28th July – Day 42
The coolest day by far and after a very windy first 2 hours it is ideal conditions for the runners – little sun, good cloud and little humidity. Temperature never above 68F.
Vasu leads the daily laps with 122, and now the estimate for his finish time has began. Still think it will be after day 47.
Yolanda has the next best total with 119 laps and really sails along in the cooler conditions and now only 20 miles below the daily average requirement.
Harita does 110 laps and is 2 miles above the daily average requirement.
So if they both keep this up, they will certainly finish, and with favourable weather forecasts for the next few days should keep there chances high indeed.
Everyone except Ananda-Lahari had good laps. He was visibly tired after three massive days of 160, 131 and 136 laps (an average of over 78 miles per day.
Kaneenika continues to chase Nirbhasa down and is now only 7 miles behind.
