Just a note to say that I’m so proud of my dad whose Iron Dog adventure was cut short this year.

Kevin Scholla has the latest:

Team 11, comprised of Todd Palin and Tyler Huntington, had to scratch out of the 2014 Iron Dog race in Alaska Monday night. The Palin-Huntington duo posted the best time of 39 teams from Big Lake to Skwentna. But then some bad news. Huntington’s sled began running on one cylinder after leaving Skwentna. Team 11 turned around and tried to diagnose it. At first, they thought it was an exhaust sensor, so they changed it in Skwentna. No luck.

The team returned to Pain’s shop in Wasilla. There, they were able to determine it was a problem they could not repair in time and get back on the trail without making the trail volunteers stay out in the elements an extra day. So they decided they will get things fixed with no time frame. The idea is to use the sleds for practice runs in 2015.

Craig Compeau, sponsor of Team 11, put it nicely: “I really feel bad about the mechanical issue. It’s one of those things in life you file under ‘stuff happens.'”

No matter what, I’m so proud of my dad. I love that he gets out there and tries to do this killer race. It takes guts, know-how, and skill to even think about putting yourself out there for the longest and toughest race in the world.

Proud of you, Dad!!
