Well, the night has come and Samsonite remains strong and in good spirits. Maintaining his 15th place, he has now beat Scott Jurek (dropped at 67 miles and 10 hours) and defending champion Mark Godale (dropped after 58 miles at around 8:15.) In fact, out of 84 men who started, only 50 are left in the hunt. Samsonite has completed 73.8 miles in 12:03 (about 9:45 pace).
