Hand in Hand across the finish line

Tove Sørensen and Tore Albrigtsen are sharing the tenth place in this years Finnmarksløpet. The couple from Tromsø has an agreement about going together. This promise was held this time as well.

Their schedule said that they should be crossing the finish line at 21:00. They managed to be 16 minutes ahead of the schedule. And the couple looked extremely happy about their performance even though their result was worse than their 7th place last year.

- It was tough out on the trail. For a long time we were going with May-Conny (Johansen) and Are (Baker), but when we got up to Ravnastue were they just too fast. It was just swusj and they were gone. It was like they did not need to drag a sled. It was just incredible, said Tove Sørensen at the finish line. She and her boyfriend Tore are running the Tromsø villmarkssenter and live in harmony with nature the whole year around. They have participated several times in Finnmarksløpet and managed always to be two of the top teams. Next year they will try their luck in Alaska at the Iditarod.
