I don't think the distance or hills etc. are a problem, it's whether or not he is any good at reading maps and route finding with a compass etc. It doesn't sound like anybody here knows this or not, so it's impossible to really make a good guess.
Turns out he sucks at reading maps and got lost for 15 hours, so, I'd guess he went off on his own, as he's comparatively fast, and that was a huge mistake. Next time stick to a veteran like glue and go fast after a few laps.

How epic would it be if as an April Fools joke, Wardian went back to his hotel and hid for 2 days and a massive hunt to find him was deployed as it was suspected he was hurt and lost. He emerges from his room after 2 days and gets on FB Live and is like "LOOOOOOOOOL OWNED".
I invited Robbie Young to this Ultramarathon.
He tried to jog the first 1.6 miles on the trail…and then he went to the local International House of Pancakes with Dustin and Michael from Skins.
Robbie may win this race with Michael Wardian lost in the woods.
We are using our dogs to hunt and locate the lost ultrarunner.
Ultrarunners give off a distinctive acetone smell because their high level of FAT burning leads to increased levels of the ketone bodies Beta- hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone. High acetone concentrations in arterial blood is excreted by the lungs and can be smelled in the exhaled air from the lungs, which is just like in humans with metabolic ketoacidosis from diabetes.
It is easy for our dogs to find the slow, inflexible, hypoglycemic, stupid, and LOST ULTRARUNNER in the woods.
It is not a big deal.
I'm going to assume this is a total troll/joke.(but in case it's not)Ridiculous. For sure there are dopers in ultra-trail-mountain running (as well as road marathoning/track etc.). Heck top guys have been busted for EPO at the UTMB100. However Mike Wardian and Zablocki are the least likely I'd ever think would dope...I'm actually quite confident they run clean (and i'm pretty skeptical of a lot of guys). I've raced both over the years at various distances/races (Boston Marathon probably being the last one we all ran together). Both are quality, top notch guys. Nothing in this indoor marathon race or their past/history/progression even suggests anything suspicious. Mike is a pure #AnySurfaceAnyDistance type of runner! I really think he gets a kick out of traveling and just being active in the community no matter what type of race. Traditionally he always does better on roads-flatter ultras and multi-day stuff. I ran against Zablocki in college. He's also a quality guy who could run much faster than 2:20...even on an indoor track. It's good and smart to be aware that there are marathon-ultra guys doping...but with guys like Chris and Mike I believe you are totally barking up the wrong tree.

Who dopes more Zablocki or Wardian?
Just one barker. Quickly quashed.
Sad that thisndiscusssion had to be had about every well-performing athlete.
He'll be lapped but comes back to win.

Hey ddope, are you feeling sore after taking some PEDs yourself but still getting plowed hard by clean athletes like those two?
ahhh yes the LR conundrum.. every US athlete that is successful it on PEDs, anyone falling short of a gold medal/WR is lazy.
There were Aholes on here criticizing Centro FOR WINNING THE GOD D@MAN OLYMPICS!!!!!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
