Paige Drobny was certain she had 26th place wrapped up in the 2015 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. Her dogs had other ideas.
Drobny was leading her friendly competitor Scott Smith into Nome on Thursday after running with the Willow musher since Shaktoolik, after Drobny was slowed by a wrong turn in bad weather at Unalakleet and was delayed by six hours while Iditarod crews set additional markers along the windswept trail.
