The Ironman Wisconsin triathlon had an unwanted participant Sunday night ? an alleged drunken driver who drove past barricades and over traffic cones onto the marathon course, nearly striking runners and spectators before coming to a stop. Michael Potter of Madison was tentatively charged with his alleged fourth drunken driving offense after his arrest at about 10:30 p.m. Sunday at North Park Street and Langdon Street, according to a news release from the UW-Madison Police Department.
