Loop 9: 45:07 from bib 11, and all five come back

Loop 9 is in: all five runners still in the race came back inside the hour, and nine yards is 60.4 km.

Bib 11 was quickest, in 45:07, with bibs 17 and 8 next at 49:57 and 50:11. Bib 14 was last in, with 6 min 36 sec to spare.

No one else went out in loop 9. Bib 1 had already stopped at the loop 9 corral, so 41 are out and five are in the race, all on 9 yards: bibs 8, 11, 14, 17 and 18.
