Ryan's Nome Three-Peat
Ryan Wanless finished the ITI 1000 today in 24 days, 17 hours and 37 minutes. This is Ryan’s third consecutive finish in Nome (two on bike, one on foot) and his fifth overall ITI finish. He pushed his bike from White Mountain to Cape Nome, over 70 miles, and arrived in Nome in wet, blizzard-like conditions. Ryan's arrival not only marks a personal achievement but also symbolizes the essence of the Iditarod Trail Invitational 1000. His dedication and perseverance, mirrored in his three consecutive finishes and five overall ITI completions, remind us that the boundaries of endurance are only as limited as one's will to push them.
