Day 25
It is the 25th day of the race, the clock shows 9:05pm. After the Independence Day, I had been recovering and only yesterday I started to get my energy back and I did 62 miles. Today happened to be very interesting because it is already the 3rd day in the row that the temperature rose up to 33C and today since the very morning it’s been humid. So, of course, in the afternoon I was quite wiped out, although I kept running. However, I am going to have quite a decent mileage, though I expected it to be more.
Today I have completed half of the distance which is 1550 miles (24 days 6 hours and 14 minutes). It is one day faster than my previous record race in 2009. But in 2009 I completed the second half of the distance one day faster than the first one. So, I have a good backlog at least and the best present for my half of the distance was a completely unexpected arrival of Sugambhir! When I saw him, everything immediately became much better for me. So, the help has arrived.
Approximately at a time, when I was doing my 1550 miles, Sarvagata and Igor approached 1700 miles on the same lap being 5 meters apart. So, our new generation of runners is 150 miles ahead of me. Running lap by lap for long distances is also great because you come in contact with the people who are 150 miles ahead of you and those who are 150 miles behind you. So, hope you drop by again:)
