Finnmarksløpet has been going for nearly five days now and the drivers are beginning to really feel the impact on the body.

The tasks at the check-point are being managed intinctively, even though the effectiveness is a bit reduced after all these days. We took the time on the three first arriving in Levajok 2.

First in was Harald Tunheim. He managed to finish helping the dogs and changing all the plastic ski layers delaying him only fifty minutes.

Second  in, Tore Bergby used one hour and 4 minuted without changing the plastic ski layers.

Third in, Ralph Johannessen used one hour and twenty six minutes before he before he left the area with car with his handler to take some rest inside.

Fourth in, Kjell Brennodden didn't even go into the stopping area. After a quick shoe change he continued driving to Karasjok. He had taken a long stop at the check-point before in Sirbma.
