Biography
Trine Lyrek, 32, was born in Norway where she started mushing in 1992. She spent one winter working with Jeff King and then got her own dogs and ran the Finnmarkslopet in ’97 and ’98.
Trine says that “love” brought her back to Alaska. She met her husband, Iditarod veteran, Don Lyrek, in Alaska. Their two children, Hanna and Emma, were born in 1999 and 2001. Trine says she took a break from mushing to be with the girls. They skijor and mush together now. “The Iditarod is a dream come true,” says Trine. “I’ve been waiting for my two girls to get old enough so I can do the race.”
She lists her current occupation as “mom” and says her hobbies are running, outdoor life and knitting.
