Dexter wins ultramarathon
Ryan Dexter, a Verona resident and "ultra-marathoner," last weekend won a 150-mile foot race in Illinois by more than six hours.
Dexter started the McNaughton Park Trail Run at noon Friday and finished 34 hours and 42 minutes later. Rainy conditions early in the race forced him to scale back his original goal - a 30-hour finish - but he still barely missed the course record by an hour or so.
On Monday, the father of three was back at work - swollen feet and all - at Qualtim, Inc. in Madison, where he's a civil engineer."
I am very much fatigued and am hobbling around," he said in an e-mail. "No injuries, just sore."
As we reported last week, Dexter had run the 150-miler in each of the last two years, finishing in 40 hours and 36 hours.
Leading up to this year's competition, he ran up to a marathon a day, including running seven miles to and from work each day.
Dexter lives on Ridgeview Trail with his wife, Christina, and three sons, Chase, 6, Cruz, 4, and Dash, 2.
