and the 400 mile has its third different leader!
during the night christine tokarz moved to the front.
she has gone 310 miles
and has less than 100 miles to go!
.
michael carson is 4 miles behind,
with addison hendricks only a mile in back of him…
.
this last 100 miles is going to be very interesting.
.
philip perkins has control of the 350,
with 316 miles under his belt.
we are probably looking at a middle of the night finish…
.
if he can navigate the crack trail in the dark.
.
he has already cleared the REAL georgia jewel.
so the last huge challenge is the crack trail,
with its 1400 foot climb in the last 2 miles.
(topped by the crack itself)
carl’s best time up that trail is over 2 hours.
.
hots is the gift that keeps giving!
.
crystal is 40 miles in back of philip
and now 12 miles ahead of the 400 mile leader.
with the three leaders in the 400 pushing each other for the win,
we might have 4 finishers coming up the crack trail at the same time…
.
are we going to end up with a conga line?
