as always happens,

when there is a lot of activity my post will be late.

and any news will already be disseminated…

.

but how can there be no post on a record-tying yard?

.

three runners remain:

harvey lewis looks to be the most endangered on an immediate basis,

he runs the closest to cutoff

and sometimes seems to be struggling…

.

none of that is any different than it was at the beginning of he race.

about 50 runners that looked better than harvey are watching from the sidelines.

just sayin’

.

ihor verys- what can you say?

unlike most of the top group no one really knew who he was.

so by quietly going about his business ihor flew under the radar for a long time.

that wont happen again.

ihor looks the strongest right now,

but…

.

bartosz fudali- he only qualified just before the deadline

and nothing was known about him.

he got by as quietly as verys until the crowd at the front started to thin.

.

if verys is the stronger of the two right now,

it is not by much.

and there is that backyard tradition of wild momentum swings

and unexpected finishes.

.

the upcoming hours are going to be very interesting!
