At 1am local time Alan emailed me to say that it was “Wet windy and only 5 hardy souls out” adding that “William is now slowly chasing down 2nd position”. William has mostly recovered from the Heat Fatigue that badly effected his performance and forced him to walk for most of  yesterday, and he is now very much racing again.

As I type at around 9.45 UK time, about 94hrs and 45 mins into the 144hr / 6day race, William is still in 3rd place having thus far run 514 km / 319.5 miles and having closed the gap between himself and 2nd placed Trond Sjĺvik to around 16 miles / 26 km.

Wolfgang Scwherk still leads the race, with a current distance of approximately 360 miles / 580 km, around 40 miles / 60km ahead of William.
