Today we talk to Kris who just recently completed the Iron Dog Pro Class. The Iron Dog is a 2500 mile snowmobile race in Alaska that took him and his teammate 5 days to complete. The Iron dog is considered the worlds longest and toughest snowmobile race in the world and after hearing about the hell these racers go through during this race I absolutely believe it. Riders are required to carry an extensive list of survival gear incase things go south and often rely on the locals and other teams to help them maintain their sleds and carry on. There is a ton of strategy involved in this event regarding when to take a break and when to ride based on weather conditions. Kris kicks off the episode by telling us about how he got into snowmobiling living in Alaska and how its led to him riding professionally throughout his life. As some one who snowmobiled in college it was super fun to hear about this event and the level of skill needed to complete this brutal event. Kris's excitement comes out as he explains the different senecios, hiccups and landscapes he had to conquer and how it was all worth it getting to be one of 15 teams to cross that finish line.
