2015 Iditarod Trail Invitational

Completed the 350 mile Iditarod Trail Invitational for the third time. I managed to get to McGrath in 3 days 10 hours and 33 minutes - my fastest finish yet. Trail conditions were excellent this year which resulted in some incredible finishes across the board, including the new record time on bike by Alaskan John Lackey.

Highlighting my race was the opportunity to travel part of the trip with ITI legend Tim Hewitt, who has completed the trip to Nome 8 times on foot and this last time on bike.

2014 MR340

Completed the 9th annual MR340 this week. Left from Kaw Point in Kansas City, MO on Tuesday morning and arrived in St. Charles, MO on Thursday afternoon - 53 hours and 55 minutes later. It was enough to place 9th out of 166 solo racers. Slept only about an hour in Herman, MO during the entire event. It was a hard race, but also a lot of fun. Aaron Fanetti racing the MR340 in fog.
