Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race 2017 – Daily Updates – Day 29
Daily Diary
Sunday 17th July – Day 29
A lovely day for running, if you are able !!
Something has swept through, giving some stomach problems. Medics are not sure what it is, for its affecting some runners but all, some handlers, but not all , and a RD (who misses only his second shift in 21 years). It was mayhem at one point with 4 athletes off the circuit. Yolanda, Harita, Nidhruvi, and Smarana. Not sure about Ananda-Lahari who had many many breaks and walked very slowly. Their laps for the day reflect the extent of their problems. So severe for some it will have ruined there chances of finishing in 52 days.
This just shows how unique the event is, and how demanding it can be. Also you really not only have to run the course, but run the conditions, and if they suit you, squeeze out extra laps, for “money in the bank”.
The front two remain healthy, and 3rd placed Nirbhasa has not quite recovered, but has the days best laps with 115 laps.
