TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Honorable race tests endurance
kuathletics.com
MORNING BREW
Gallant mushers and packs of dogs charge through mountainous tundra, frozen rivers and thick snow-coated forests in subzero temperatures from Anchorage, Ala., to the state's western Bering Sea coast in Nome (a more than 1,100 mile journey).
These dogs aren't your neighbor's chihuahua.
They're the warriors of The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a competition dubbed by some as the "Last Great Race on Earth."
No one has prevailed faster than John Baker and his dogs, who finished the March 2011 race in a record 8 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes and 39 seconds.
Ramey Smyth and his team finished the race slightly more than an hour behind Baker. Both mushers trumped the former record from 2002 of 8 days, 22 hours, 46 minutes, and 2 seconds, set by four-time champion Martin Buser of Switzerland.
But more than just the fastest are honored in this potentially fatal race. Fierce winds can blind the musher. The wind chill can drop temperatures to 100 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. So the last musher to cross the finish line is honored with the Red Lantern Award. After enduring such conditions for longer than any other musher, an award seems fitting. It also serves as a testament to how impressive it is to simply finish the race. Ellen Halverson finished this
The Vaults will keep the dog theme going and honor the passing of the G-Funk king. Nate Dogg, a west coast hip-hop pioneer and hit-maker, died of heart failure and complications from previous strokes on March 15. To remember Nate Dogg, here are some of his greatest tracks.
The Iditarod isn't your typical sporting event. It seemingly never ends. Your life is in the hands of the virulent forces of Alaskan nature. Your dogs and the thought of the finish line are all you've got. To finish this race takes a different kind of courage.
"The Next Episode" (with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog)
BY MAX ROTHMAN

year's race in 13 days, 19 hours and 24 minutes. She became the first musher to take the Red Lantern Award twice.
...This is one of the best songs from "2001" (also known as "The Second Chronic") ,one of the best West Coast
albums of all-time. Nate follows Snoop and Dre just when you think the song is over.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey..." Well, you know how it goes from there.
"Regulators" (with Warren G)
...This one is old school G-Funk at its finest. The beat is smooth and in no hurry, like Nate's soulful vocals and Warren G's raps that mesh perfectly.
MUSIC FROM THE VAULTS
"Never Leave Me Alone" (with Snoop Dogg)
...Not nearly as popular as the previous two, this solo act is my personal favorite. The song showcases Nate's gospel influences, rather than push it to the side for a money-making hook. The lyrics provide a proper send-off.
