RACE AROUND POLAND - DAY 5 - REPORT 1

The night brought new decisions. Piotr Krasnopolski (3600 unsupported) withdrew at night due to sunstroke. Piotr feels good now, he is safe, but he is unable to continue the race.

Łukasz Marek (3600 supported) also withdrew due to injury.

In Zakopane we also said goodbye to a very nice and already legendary figure of Polish ultra - Wojtek Łuszcz. Wojtek assessed that he would not make it within the time limit and ended his competition at CP3 in Czorsztyn. There was no end to the goodbyes. As is his custom, Wojtek was singing along. He is already getting ready for another race. This time in Lithuania.

We still have 34 competitors on the route

The weather is forecast to be a bit hotter than yesterday.
