I thought we should cheer on one of our own. Ryan posts in the forums under the name "flathornlake". Best of luck to you Ryan! Can't wait to hear some trail stories after the race.
Iditarod.com Bio:Ryan Redington, 25, was born and raised in the Wasilla area. He's been mushing since "I could hang onto the sled,"says Ryan. He ran two Jr. Iditarod's and many local mid distance races as well as the Iditarod. Ryan and his wife, Erin, own and operate an Iditarod racing kennel in Knik, Alaska. Ryan has a long family history in the Iditarod. His grandfather was the "Father of the Iditarod," Joe Redington, Sr. Ryan grew up watching his father and grandfather race in 33 combined Iditarods and knew it was something he wanted to do. He has now completed three Iditarods with his top finish being 18th. Ryan has a daughter, Raynee, age six, who is just starting to follow in the family footsteps. Ryan is a tour guide in the summer. He enjoys trapping, hunting and fishing.

Ryan doing great so far.
It was very impressive to see him do the stretch from Rohn to Nikolai in 9 hours 47 minutes
when many, even perrenial front runners like Lance and Martin Buser were doing it in 15 and 16 hours!
Don't know how much weather played into that, but I found it impressive none-the-less. Go Ryan!

Sorry to hear that. But the guy obviously knows what he's doing and did the right thing. Better luck next year, and at least his brother is still doing well.
