Veteran musher Jeff Deeter, looking for a personal best this year, has another reason to be out on the Iditarod Trail in 2022. “This year, I’m carrying my dad’s ashes,” he said. “so that’s pretty special.”
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The 50th running of the Iditarod has brought the eyes of the world to the storied race, attracting 49 mushers and their dog teams to the start line in 2022 — each of whom has a different reason for doing it.
“Last year I was 12th,” he continued. “so that’s very close to the top 10. So, that’s my goal for this year.”“This year, I’m carrying my dad’s ashes.” he said, “so that’s pretty special.” Eric and Gretchen were both there for Deeter’s first Iditarod in 2008, in which he placed 59th. Moving up in the pack over time — from 43rd in 2018, to 15th in 2019 and 16th the year after that — he has his sights set on breaking through to the next level.“I definitely think about him quite a bit when I am out here, and when I gotta dig deep for, you know, extra strength and motivation out there,” Deeter said. “Kinda channel his drive, his passion.
“He has been with me every Iditarod I have done,” he added. “and it’s sweet to be able to take his ashes and have him out here on the trail.” Eric would “get a kick out of it,” said Deeter, who is carrying the ashes in an array of containers out on the trail. “I just tell him that, you know, how cool it is to be out here, and that I miss him,” Deeter said. “and just being able to talk to him.”
