Sarah Palin: Iron Dogs Roarin'!



As you know, the Iron Dog snow machine race is underway. This is a grueling race over tough terrain in sub-zero weather. The course is nearly 2000 miles long, and incredibly challenging. It's the longest, toughest race of it's kind. Todd is a four time Iron Dog champion, and has been called one of the sport's savviest drivers.

Sarah Palin posted a short note on Facebook, as well as the photos shown.

It’s no secret I’m cheering for Team #11 in this year’s Iron Dog race! Todd and his racing partner Eric Quam are doing very well and helping lead the pack as they'll soon be near the 1000-mile half-way point in Nome. They’ve been breaking trail through three feet of new snow! All these athletes are rugged and tough. Please keep all the racers in your prayers.

On a side note, there’s always buzz about fake Sarah Palin Facebook and Twitter accounts. Please know that this is my only authentic Facebook account and SarahPalinUSA is my only authentic Twitter account. Pay no attention to the fake accounts and their fake messages.

Being a former racer myself, I can really appreciate the hard work and skill it takes to race this event. Not only physical toughness, but mental toughness as well. It takes a special athlete to win one of these events. To win four is incredible. Here's hoping Todd and Eric make it number five!
