As of this writing (4am Wed), Victor Ballesteros has left Brockway Summit (mile 146) and still making an audacious and awesome attempt at completing the 165 mile TRT, despite the record being passed last night. The other three runners dropped, but anyone who knows Victor knows he’s tough and can close the deal.
