Update from Dexter's family:

Quote:

Hi everyone:
Just heard from Debbie. I was getting a little worried, but she said not to freak out if we didn't hear because they have no phone service at the park at all. She had to drive almost an hour to town for phone service to get through to me.
They met him at the check point of 44 miles at 6.23PM. He is doing good, staying hydrated and in good spirits but not going quite as fast as he thought he would. Weather has been good, but with sun going down it was starting to get colder. He changed clothes and ate and was on his way again. Wayne is running with him now to the next aid station (about 7 miles). Then Dex with have another aid station about 9 miles after that. So far no blisters or anything.
Debbie will get to see him again at the 68 mile check point sometime before 3 am. He is running with 9 other guys from central Illinois and they are all doing good.
Debbie said will update us again in the morning, but that we should not worry. Because of phone service and time change.
We wish him well. and hope that Debbie and Doug can get some sleep
Be back to you as soon as I hear anything. Lois.

Hi everyone:
Just heard from Deb. Dexter did not make it to the 68 mile check point on time. [Cutoff was 3:00 DST] He was about an hour late, so was eliminated from the race. Wayne stayed with him the whole 22 miles between the two checkpoints. Dexter was falling asleep while running, and they were walking a lot. Glad that Wayne was with him. They are both doing OK but exhausted. Proud to say he made 68 miles, and very happy that everyone is OK. They will be home tonight and I'm sure will update you further.

Reply #17 - Nov 7^th, 2010, 12:31pm More info-- Greg had to drop at 77m, cutoff at one aid station was 5:30am and he got there right at 5:30. jack went out "blazing fast" as greg put it and had to DNF due to torn up feet. Donna DNFed at mile 35 and Rachel furman DNFed at about 43. There were 3 finsihers--BJ, spencer and paul.

THANKS OLLIE. It was rough Shocked

.....hard to keep in front of cut offs, the first 20 miles very technical. Finally didn't a cut off after 5 minutes here and there of coming in ahead of them... Thanks for everyone's well wishes!!!
Next up for me after the Deer Grove FatAss November 20 is Across The Years in Phoenix, AZ. it's over New Years at the Nardini Manor, a loop course with lots of support... and since its a 24 hour run there can't be any DNF's there.... Wink

IVS runners looked great out there at OT....Nice job.

Lifes journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but to skid in sideways, totally worn out shouting: "HOLY SH*T, WHAT A RIDE!" unknown
