Battle Mountain - Day 4 - Morning runs

We all got up early this morning to be in time for the morning runs. Packing all the stuff we need in the car becomes more of a routine and we had time to spare before the start of the 5 mile runs in the morning. The weather was really good this morning. The temperature rose fast and there was hardly any wind. Only two of all the morning runs had illegal wind. Thomas already knew during the warming-up that his chances were very good now. The clouds of dust made by the trucks, kept hanging in the air for minutes. The start went well and his build-up of the race was perfect. His speed was about 111 km/h at the 1 mile marker. Then he could even increase his speed further to be able to leave the time-traps with 119 km/h. A new personal record and legal wind! He finally got rid of his "pointy hat". Tonight it is Davids and Jan-Marcels turn again. It's time for lunch now and then time to relax.
