Entering the energy lab. Entering the energy lab. Was informed by an American(who works in Farinhiet), that the temperatures here get about 60 degrees celcius. Yesterday there was very little breeze in this area and the temperature was below 40 degrees(still very hot). Was told by an Faris Al Sultan is one of my favourites and put alot into the race here yesterday. Macca in the 'energy lab' area. T Trying for a different perspective to show the 'energy lab' area. Andy Potts running in the 'energy lab' had a great day. Not the best quality of photos but the subject is important in this case. The pass for first was made only a few seconds earlier than when this photo was taken. The media truck did well to drive through this group. Crowie can just be made out behind the 'Timex car'. 1st Craig Alexander (AUS) 8:20:21 2. Chris Lieto (USA) 8:22:56 3. Andreas Raelert (GER) 8:24:32 4. Chris McCormack (AUS) 8:25:20 5.
