Rob and Eric have now split up for the time-being with Rob pressing forward for a total of 54mi today, finishing the last 3-4 miles under headlamp; looking strong and smiling. Eric suffered blister/pain issues in the morning, but managed to regain some rhythm in the afternoon and get to the Burns TH on CR-55 (136.1) as the last light faded; truly a gutsy, sheer will day to keep moving.
Tough section of trail coming tomorrow for both: trust me, I've run every inch of it! Check back all week: same Bat Time, same Bat Channel....
