Across the Years Day 5 Update – Jan 1, 2016

Day 5 update was a bit delayed while I tried to reach 200+ miles while my body still allowed me to keep moving forward. Jan 1st featured the finish of the 24 hour, 48 hour, and 72 hour races, while the Six Day runners got to keep going for 2 more days.

In the Six Day race, David Johnston has experienced a resurgence after suffering stomach ailments the first 3 days.  He now is closing in on Ed Ettinghausen who has 383 miles at 109 hours. David is running strong with 370, and still 2 nights left.  Mark McCaslin is also surging after a slow start, is pushing hard to get his 300 mile belt buckle by the end.  Sue Scholl still leads the women by 30 miles, while Yolanda Holder’s power walking has put her over 300 miles and 7th overall, 2nd female at 110 hours. Kimberley Van Delst with 275 miles and 26 year old Sarah Emoto (264 miles) show no signs of slowing down as they power through their 5th consecutive night of running.
