Dallas Seavey is the first musher out of Elim, as he heads to Golovin, then up to White Mountain, where he will take a mandatory 8-hour rest.
He was the first to reach Elim late last night, leading Aaron Burmeister by just over three hours. The two front-runners were followed into the checkpoint by Mitch Seavey, Jessie Royer and Aliy Zirkle.
