It is with great pride to announce that Petr Ineman, local hero from Downers Grove,Illinois, finished the iditarod race together with two only other racers. The rest of the field has DNFed due to one of the worst conditions the race has ever seen. Winds, snowstorms, whiteouts, shifting ice, Moose attacks. Definetely not for the weak at heart.
Petr is a hard man and also one of the kindest guys you will ever meet. Friend Kyle and I have some chances to ride with him and it is always a pleasure to talk to him. He truly has the best, crazy stories ever.
I know he will be very tired for a very long time. I kinda wonder how he will adapt to coming back "here", with all the craziness going on. I look foward to seeing him one day and sharing a drink to celebrate his accomplishment. Last year he and another fellow come in first place. So, finishing a 1000 mile ride on snow is nothing new for Petr. Safe travels and take care Petr.
Congratulations to you my friend!!! Have a safe return and one day we will get to celebrate you.

I cannot imagine it at all. That's a thing that not many people can relate to there. Very few have done what he has done.
ReplyDeleteI also cannot imagine leaving a world that was "normal" and then coming back to "this'. That would be surreal. Maybe it will make this particular accomplishment even more tremendous for him? I would think so.
Goood job
