Brent took an 11 hour rest at the Central checkpoint. He passed Schnuelle on the trail moving into 4th place. The top 3 left Central just as Brent arrived. Somewhere between Circle and Central Brent had a collision with tree and took the brunt of it in the face so apparently he looks a bit rough but has shaken it off. He had to drop steady, reliable wheel dog Taco due to soreness in his shoulder. Taco finished the race in the previous 2 years and I am sure he will be missed on the run up Eagle Summit.
