Totally destroys the accepted value for absolute zero. I guess it's back to the drawing board for the scientists. :lol:

Once Carmack hit -273.15C, it should have vanished, so "unknown" is apt!

He's brave, I'm sure he's going to have fun, if he can get there.

yep...from what I've read on FB there have been a few travel glitches.

Spaff...safe travels...and run like a wolf when you get there!

Awesome -- Spaff is amazing!!

Is he still in first and are you sure? I'm just thinking back to last year.

Can follow spaff directly @

Also nice to see it's not -9999 and only -2.7

Jo-Jo · Postby **Jo-Jo** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 11:22 am

Currently in 7th place.
Sending good vibes to Spaff!

Definitely thinking of Spaff today -- hoping all is well!

I'm finding it so cool I can check in and see their current speed, avg speed, distance etc in what appears to be about 5min intervals. I've spent more time today refreshing Spaffs position than I've done anything else productive. It appears he had a little break at the 66m mark and is now back running strong, and he's traveling at 3mph right now with an avg speed of 2.9mph, an avg moving speed of 3.6mph with 18:54 moving time and 4:30 stopped time

Nothing like keeping tabs on someone is there. Spaff turn skyward and wave at the satellite...I'm sure we can all see you if you search this site closely enough.

It is very neat to be able to keep track of Spaff for sure.... Like NGCaper, I have been following closely, and am not being too productive otherwise.....

I must admit that I did have a bit of a "panic attack" when I saw Spaff stop for a while (and lose positions) -- I was worried, but I now see him running strong again

Such a great athlete, a great person, and a great inspiration!!

Jo-Jo · Postby **Jo-Jo** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:03 pm

Relieved to see that he's back at it!

Sylvie...you're right...Derrick is a great guy.
I give him much of the credit for starting me on my running journey.

I call him and his wife "human wolves :lol:

Sending him great vibes from kingston.

Yep.
Still thinking about spaff...really looking forward to his RR on this race!

Looks like a 5th place finish last night. Congrats to Spaff.

Wow...that's amazing...I saw him post on FB that he had real trouble with GI issues.

Looking forward to hearing his RR...hmmm....may have to go out to Westbrook this Saturday (he's holding a snowshoe race) to give him a hug!!

give sweetie a hug from me too!

I hope Spaff is very proud of his accomplishment -- can't fathom running 100 miles with GI issues -- he's one tough cookie!! AND I get to give him a hug on Sat since I'll be at the race

AND seeing Jo-Jo would be a great bonus!!

ngcaper · Postby **ngcaper** » Tue Feb 05, 2013 11:29 am

The dark as well must be so hard to continue in. Right now in Whitehorse sunrise isn't until 9:07am ugh!!! So for a 30hr run you could potentially only have about 14hrs day light maximum assuming a 9am start time. That's 16hrs of running in the remote Yukon in the dark!!!
