Dean Karnazes drunkenly walked out of a bar on his 30th birthday and ran 30 miles. That decision became the defining moment of his life and lead him to quit a life of comfort to pursue pain and suffering (but in a good way) racing in some of the worlds longest and toughest foot races.
Some notable achievements include:
• Ran 350 miles (560 km) in 80 hours and 44 minutes without sleep
• Single-handedly completed "The Relay", a 199-mile (320 km) run from Calistoga to Santa Cruz, eleven times.
• Ran a marathon to the South Pole in −13 °F (−25 °C) temperatures without snowshoes.
• Ran a marathon in each of the 50 states in 50 consecutive days in
• Winner, Badwater Ultramarathon (135 miles (217 km) across Death Valley in 120 °F (49 °C) temperatures)
