Ryan Redington pulled into White Mountain today in first place, with just 77 miles to the Iditarod finish. He was ready for a break. “I’m really tired and my legs are cramping a little bit,” he said. “I’m really excited for the rest here.'
WHITE MOUNTAIN — Ryan Redington and his eight dogs were the first Iditarod team to reach White Mountain Monday afternoon, with just 77 miles to the finish line. Redington had amassed a comfortable several-hours lead over his closest competitors who opted to rest in the prior checkpoint of Elim.
“I’m really tired and my legs are cramping a little bit,” he said. “I’m really excited for the rest here, the eight hours.” It’s rare for the finish order to change dramatically between White Mountain and Nome, but sudden storms and brutal winds have snarled the momentum of would-be champions. Redington said it had not sunk in yet that he’s in the position to win his first Iditarod.
That lead is much larger this afternoon than it was Monday morning. Redington had a 27-minute lead over his closest competitor, Bethel’s Pete Kaiser, going into Elim. But Kaiser stopped for more than five hours, while Redington kept on mushing toward White Mountain.
