Throwback to nine hours ago, as Chrigel Maurer (SUI1) launched from 2700m on the Grachelspitze. Today Maurer's race stats show he hiked 19.83km and flew 224km (not straight-line, but cumulative) for a total distance of 243.89km so far. He has spent 4.3hrs hiking and 5.9hrs flying. Max altitude was 2795m. Every day is an extraordinary day in this race.
