Loop 1: 29:18, and a warm welcome home

Sixty-seven runners are in for loop 1, on a sunny morning that is already warm along the Narmada canal.

Bib 430 was first home in 29:18, the fastest timed loop on BigFoot’s books; the previous best was 33:00. Steam was rising off his head when he came in.

Bib 401 came in with 1 min 18 sec to spare, and the corral, which had been watching the road for him, welcomed him home.

The heat is the next antagonist.
