Run It Fast’s Race Across the USA became a 11-team race on Monday after Rev Run finished first last night. A rough day for several teams and more of the usual from the top of the leader-board today.
Mojo Rising moved the most spots up in the daily standings. The only movement in the overall standings came from Tuck n’ Stroll, after the strongest day of any team on the day, moving up a spot over Alfa’s Omegas.
The Metcalvary has a firm grasp on the Tier-2 race lead by 252 miles ahead of the Crowe Bars. After The Mets, it’s a log jam to the 7th place team. A lot of tired legs, but a lot of great racing still left to go.
