The Redington family does not own an Iditarod victory, but that may change later this morning.
NOME, Alaska - With an early bib draw, veteran musher Ryan Redington was the fifth musher right out of the gate at the ceremonial start and restart of Iditarod 51.
He quickly established his position toward the front of the pack, though he said he was questioning whether or not he made the absolute best possible decision on a final roster for the race.“I decided to take a couple that I thought would help me the best,” he said of splitting some of the potential racers between his team and that of rookie Hunter Keefe. “But maybe I decided wrong.”
So far, he’s won multiple trailside prizes, including a pair of handmade mittens for the Spirit of Iditarod Award he received in McGrath. “Those two are the best there is at hunting people down,” Redington said, “but I’m enjoying being the hunted here, and yeah, I’m aware they’re coming, and it’s going to be fun to try to fight them off.”
