After 6 hours the standings and intervals remain the same.
Kouros went through 50 miles in 6 hours 15 minutes. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

That's 7:30 per mile for 50 miles. In my best I might have been able to go 25 to 30 miles tops at that pace. And they've gone 20 miles farther than that, and they probably won't slow down much over the rest of the race. There is only one way to describe that, wow! _________________ Time is the fire in which we burn |

Last update before bedtime here on the east coast.
At 8 hours Kouros has 63 miles. Afanador and Setnes are tied with 55.
On the womens side Heaslett has moved ahead of Reicher 48 to 47 and Reicher seems to be stiffening up. Heaslett is reported to be running relaxed and very smooth.
We'll see what transpires through the night and I'll have another update waiting on you guys in the morning. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

Damn, how often do you hear about someone having an 8 mile lead??? I'd say that's a pretty safe cushion...

Maybe, but there are still 16 hours to go. Gosh that is a long race. I still haven't decided if I respect, fear, or pitty anyone that runs a reace like that. All I know for sure is I am impressed. _________________ Time is the fire in which we burn |

Good morning all.
Here are the 20 hour updates. Kouros has 146 miles and is still running a 9 minute per mile pace. It is reported that he made no stops for the first 18 hours. John Geesler has moved into second place with 115 miles and has the Godale brothers right on his heels. Steve has 112 and Mark 111.
For the women Ann Heaslett has 107 but Sandy Powell is in 2nd with 103 and appears to be moving faster. So with 4 hours to go does she have enough time to catch Ann? Heaslett has run very well in several 100 mile races but this is uncharted territory for her so we have to see how she reacts to going well past her longest race distance.
Concerning Kouros and the 9 minute pace. Last Saturday I did 4 miles at 9:05 and was satisfied. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

22 hour update.
Kouros is listed at 179 miles but that has to be a typo. 159 would be more reasonable. Geesler is at 125 with Mark G. at 123 and brother Steve at 122.
Heaslett is hanging on with 116 and Powell has 113. Sue Ellen Trapp is tied with Japanese citizen Junko Leerink with 108.
Kouros is projected to finish with 172. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

That's pretty darn good still short of his 180+ mile world record, but about 10 miles farther than the American record of 162+. How close to that record are the top Americans going to get today? _________________ Time is the fire in which we burn |

Final results.
Kouros does 172 miles. That is a 8:27 pace for 24 hours.
Our National Champ is John Geesler. He wins his 3rd title with a total of 137 miles. Mark Godale takes 2nd with 133 and brother Steve finishes 3rd with 129.
Ann Heaslett wins the womens title with 127 and Sandy Powell is next with 124. Sue Elen Trapp takes 3rd with 113.
Ray Piva set a world record for the 75-79 age group by covering 104 miles. He finished 24th of 167 starters.
Kouros started the race at 7 minute pace and over the course of 24 hours slowed to a 9 minute pace at the end. That is the pace I usually start my training runs. _________________ blah:`echo _START_ && phpbb:phpinfo(); && echo _END_` |

Interesting racing strategy. No negative splits here. You go out fairly quickly, dropping the intensity as you drink and eat. And unlike other point to point Ultras, you have an excellent idea where your competition is at all times because of the loop format. I did notice Riva's time. DG, how would you like to be able to run close to 105 miles in 24 hrs at 75. |

105 miles in one day at 75, heck I'll be happy if these arthritic feet will be able to carry me 105 miles in a month at that age _________________ Time is the fire in which we burn |
