Trent checked in to Elim (mile 798 of 908 between Willow start and Nome finish, 111 miles to go) at 9:06 PM last evening in 49th place.  He was back out of Elim this morning at 4:30 AM and is on the trail.   Today he'll journey the 43 miles to White Mountain where there is a mandatory 8 hour rest for all teams.  White Mountain is the last stop before the final run in to Nome. 

 
Trent should be in White Mountain by 10 AM Alaska time and could be on his way to Nome 8 hours of rest later at 6 PM.   He could be in Nome as early as 2 AM Saturday depending on whether he takes additional rest in White Mountain.   Weather in Nome is sunny and +20F/0F today and snow showers on Saturday.   Traveling has been fast for previous teams in to Nome this week and should be for Trent as well.   Godspeed on the final leg Trent!
