Day 4
June 15, 20:13. The 4th day of the race. The sun has almost set down. And the day almost over. What to say, the paces of all the runners are getting more equal that is why you cannot run together with someone very often. My speed is increasing, but definitely I need a couple of days more to go through the transition period. Of course, in the evening my legs are aching and you can do not so many things with such legs. But everybody feels them aching, so we just have such a noise here! («bzz») Pranjal ankle is swollen, he runs a bit slowly, but I am sure this would not affect his miles too much because he is one of those who stays on the course until the very end, up to midnight in order to do his maximum. Ashprihanal has some infection under his nail, I have seen as Bipin was helping him to treat it with hydrogen peroxide. He also was walking for some time, but now he is running. Though his speed slowed down too.
Today it was hot, I guess +28. And the temperature only now is getting down, but still it is stuffy, you can feel warm air. But all this is quite bearable, I think the surprises are ahead of us.
The most important news: Purna-Samarpan has his Birthday today. He turned 34 years, and we were all wearing birthday hats at the start line. And as Rupantar announced start we were walking altogether and singing Happy Birthday. Someone mentioned that he was born not in the right time because here on 3100 race we have this transition period and it it is not easy at this period to have fun and to smile :). But in the middle of summer there will be also Atmavir’s Birthday, so the race then will be closer to the end then.
It seems to me that Sarvagata runs a bit slowly, but still he is running. Irog is flying as he did earlier, I can often see him in his flight when he passes by me. It seems that he is pressing Pranjal on his 3d place.
See you soon!
