Just one minute before Haarald Tunheim was leaving Karasjok arrived Tore Bergby. The man from Luksefjell is therefore in third place in Levajok.

All mushers are agreeing that it has been a tiresome stage from Sirma to Levajok.

- It was just tiring to go. I worked 3 hours straight behind the sled since the hills were so steep. Now both my knees and my back are hurting, says Tore./P>

He had not seen any sign of May-Conny Johansen on the trail, but there is little doubt that he fears she might catch up.

- I am aiming to be in the top 3 , but I get the feeling that May-Conny is faster than me and that she is going to overtake me.

The dogs were tired after the long journey, quite naturally. During the last 24 hours the the were running for almost 20 hours.

Latest news is that May-Conny Johansen has come to Levajok ca 04.40!
