Day 8 - Sunday 22nd June 2003

A week ago sunday the race started. Andreas and Namitabha are beginning to push each other a lot, now, as only two laps separate these warriors from each other (450.56 miles versus 449.46 miles. Namitabha led all with 65.85 miles today, a remarkable total considering the prodigious rainfall that progressed from noon to about 900pm. He ran especially well in the worst part of the storm that involved high winds and sheets of rain.The top four all crested above 60+ miles.
