Kei te ataata tonu: I whakakorea a Brent Sass o Eureka (matau) i te ahiahi o te Turei mai i te Whakataetae Hoki Hoki Hoki o Iditarod mo te kawe i te iPod pa ki a ia. I kii a Sass ki te Alaska Dispatch News kaore ia i te mohio kei te mahi ia i tetahi mea he. 'Kāore au i whakamahi i te [iPod touch] ā, kāore anō au kia whakamahi i te hononga Wi-Fi i ngā wāhi arowhai, engari kāore au i te tino mōhio,' i mea ia. 'Ko te tikanga i hoatu e ahau toku papa toku waea pūkoro no te mea i mohio ahau e kore e taea e koe te whai waea pūkoro i runga i tenei iwi rawa, a ko ahau noa kuware.' Ko Sebastian Schnuelle, he kaihautū kuri me te kaihautū taraiwa kuri mai i Whitehorse, Yukon, e kore nei e rere i te Iditarod o tenei tau i whakaahua i te whakakore a Sass hei 'whakamate'. Ko te musher 35-tau-tau e rere ana i te wahi tuarima me te hauwhā o te huarahi i roto i te whakataetae 979-maero i te wa i tangohia ai ia i te akoranga (Nga kuri rangatira a Rohn Buser i whakaahuatia i runga ake nei) Kua rite, kua whakaritea: Kei te tata atu nga tangata ki te waahi tiimata i te whakataetae kuri kuri Iditarod Trail Sled i te Mane i Fairbanks. 'I whakahaerehia e ia he kapa nui,' ka tapiritia e Schnuelle. Ko Sass, te rangatira me te kaiwhakarewa o Wild and Free Mushing, kua 12 tau e whakataetae ana, e whakangungu ana i nga huskies. I ahu mai i Excelsior, Minnesota, i neke a Sass ki Alaska i te tau 1998 ki te 'whakaoti i te moemoea o te ao' o te noho ki te kawanatanga. I haere ia ki te Whare Waananga o Alaska Fairbanks i reira i puta ai ia me te kaupapa o te matawhenua ka tiimata tana mahi i muri tata mai. Ngā pānga o te rangi: I tīmata ngā kaihoe o Iditarod i tō rātou haerenga 1,000 maero puta noa i Alaska i runga i tētahi ara hou i muri i te kino o ngā āhuatanga o te ara i akiaki ai ngā kaiwhakahaere ki te neke i te tīmatanga o te whakataetae ki te raki, mā te karo i tētahi maunga....
