Samsonite is in 8th place and continues to be running strong. He has completed 55 miles in roughly 8 hours and 25 min. That’s about 9:11 pace (a little down from a few hours ago when he was dead on 9 min pace).
It is currently 5:40 in Cleveland, OH and about 59° with a 10mph wind. Sunset is at 7:05 PM, so in the next few hours it will get much harder. The first few hours of dark are ok, then you start getting really sleepy and the darkness weighs on you. The sunrise is not until 7:25 AM, so it will get light an hour plus before the race ends.
