1250km straight out without a crew!
Mike Koerner flew the still-standing US Free Distance Record flight to Seminole, TX without a crew. He told the story at an SSA Convention a few years ago. He got a bus to Midland, walked to Odessa, got an airline home. A week or so later his first child was born. A few weeks after that they went back to get the glider. Or something along those lines.
Awesome flight by Jim and bravo to him for going for it!

(Ramy: Mike Koerner went 902 miles straight out without a crew a very long time ago. But, maybe Jim's flight is a longest pure thermaling adventure)
