LATEST UPDATE ON TONY'S PROGRESS IN SURGERES....
After 7 hours, Tony has 72.382km on the board and is in seventh place. A nice controlled start and only seven kms behind the leader.
After 14 hours, Tony has 136km and has moved into forth place. In front of him are three Japanese runners.
After19 hours, Tony has 173.113km and is currently in fifth position.
There seem to have been some injury problems and I would say that Tony has been walking for the past ten hours. At the 30 hour mark he has 218.623km.
