Pune Chapter — Loop 15

Loop 15 will be the one people talk about after tonight. Manoj Sundaram went out, and came home with two seconds to spare — 59 minutes 58 seconds, as close as this format gets to losing everything on the clock. He made it. Aditya crossed 100 km on this same loop, a number nobody expected from a runner on his first ultra. The only one who didn’t come home was Bib 15, Jagath Saran J — out the door and back inside fifteen minutes, a quiet, early stop in a loop that otherwise pushed everyone right to the edge of the hour.
