Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Turia Pitt, he kaikorero whakaaweawe, i pangia e nga tahunga whakamataku i te wa i mau ia ki te ahi ngahere, kua whakaatu mai kei te kaha tonu ia ki te wikitoria i tana mamae tata ki te mate. I kii te 27-tau-tawhito ko te haunga o te parakihe anake i whakahokia mai te wa pouri i mau ia mo nga haora e wha i te wa i tahuna ai ia ki te 65 ōrau o tona tinana. I a ia e korero ana ki te hunga whakarongo o Networking WA i Crown Perth i te Wenerei, i kii te kaitiaki o te werawera kei te noho tonu ia i te wa e korero ana ia mo te hopu i te ahi o te ahi i a ia e whakataetae ana i te ultra-marathon i Kimberley i te Mahuru 2011. 'Kua piki ake te auau o toku ngakau, kei te haehae oku ringa, kei te maroke toku mangai,' e kii ana ia, e ai ki nga korero a te Western Australian. 'Ka tupu tēnei ahakoa ka haere au ki tētahi tunu kai kāore i te kino. I te wa e hongi ana ahau i taua paowa, i taua wa ka whakahokia ahau ki muri.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Turia Pitt te kaitiaki o Burns i kii kei te kaha tonu ia ki te wikitoria i tana whiu i roto i tana korero i te Wenerei. Ko te kaikorero hihiri i pangia ki te 65 ōrau o tona tinana i a ia e whakataetae ana i te ultra-marathon. I whakapuakina hoki e Ms Pitt i oma ia i tana marathon tuatahi i te marama kua hipa mai i te mura o te ahi, a, i tere ake tana wa i mua i tana whara. 'I taku taahiraa tuatahi, me te mea kua ngaro katoa aku awangawanga me aku mataku,' ka mea a Ms Pitt. 'Kua oti i a au te oma, engari i eke atu hoki ahau i taku wā i mua i taku whara.' Ko te whakakitenga e whai ake nei i muri i tana angitu i te pokanga whakaora hei hanga i te ihu engari kaore ia i tatari ki nga raruraru i te mea kua mutu tana manawa i te wa o te tukanga. I te aranga mai o Ms. Pitt i tana pokanga, i whakaaro ia ka oho ia i roto i te wehenga tahunga me te ihu hou engari i te wa i oho ai ia i roto i te tiaki tino, i whakaatu ia i hiahia noa ia ki te mate. 'I taua wā, ko te mate anake taku i hiahia ai, nā te mea i whakapau kaha ahau ki te whakamutu i roto i te āhuatanga kotahi,' ka mea a Ms Pitt. Engari i tohuhia e ia he tohu hou i roto i tana whakaora i muri i tetahi atu wehi hauora whakamataku i reira i wehi ai tona whanau i te kino rawa i tana korero ki te Ra Wahine: 'Kaore au e whakapono kaore au i whai...
I kī a Turia Pitt ka tīmata ia ki te hūhū, ka maroke tōna waha ina kōrero ia mō tōna wheako ahi rākau kino. I whakakitea hoki e ia kua hoki ia ki te oma me te tere ake i te wa i mua i tana whara. Ka whai ake te whakakitenga i muri i te angitu o te hanganga o te ihu hou. Engari ka mutu te manawa o te 27-tau-tau i runga i te tepu whakahaere. I whakanohoia a Ms Pitt ki runga i tētahi kōpuku kia ora ai ia i te mahinga. I a ia e oho ake ana i roto i te whare haumanu, ka mea ia, e hiahia ana ia kia mate. Engari kei te whakapehapeha a Ms Pitt i tana āhuatanga kanohi hou.
