Been geeking out on the 6 Day race data 🤓👟! Up to 200K steps/day 111 hrs moving time/33hrs stop time 560+ mi = 11:53/mi moving pace Slept ~1.5 hrs/day 😵‍💫 If I cut stop time in ½ = +66 mi → 627 mi 🤔. This is 3.6% off the men’s WR (645 mi). How much can you suffer?

“We actually ended up using America’s favourite strategy against them,” said Connor McDavid. “I wanted the trophy, so I took it without asking them what they thought.” ❤️🇨🇦🏆
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not a real quote by McDavid but a quote pulled from the satirical site the Beaverton. thebeaverton.com/2025/02/canada…

I really believe that like everyone else, Wayne Gretzky is entitled to support whomever he wants. And while he's done a ton for Canadian hockey, making him the Honorary Captain for Team Canada for this game is just plain tone deaf.

Dear America, We're not booing your hockey players. We're not booing your country. We're not even booing you. We're booing your asshole of a president who keeps threatening our sovereignty for zero reason. Once he leaves us alone it'll stop. Hope that clears it up for you.
