After winning the 1,000-mile Yukon Quest, Brent Sass was considered a contender by many to win the forty-third Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

However, the Eureka musher’s dream of a first Iditarod victory evaporated soon after his arrival at the third checkpoint after Fairbanks — all because he brought along something to listen to music on the trail, Iditarod.com reporter Sebastian Schnuelle first reported.

While the device is plainly described as “capable of two-way communication” in the early report, the 35-year-old fan favorite told Alaska Public Media the problem was an iPod Touch.

“I had zero intent in using it for WiFi connection in checkpoints. I was just completely clueless,” Sass told Alaska Public Media’s Emily Schwing in a recorded interview.

Nonetheless, having anything capable of communicating with others while on the trail goes against race rules and is grounds for disqualification.

Sass was in fifth place when he made into Tanana on Tuesday afternoon.

He is the owner and founder of Wild and Free Mushing, and has been racing and training huskies for 12 years, and first ran the Iditarod in 2006. The native of Excelsior, Minnesota moved to Alaska in 1988.
