Harald Tunheim arrived as a first musher to Neiden II at 00:34. It means that he has passed by Fjestad on the trail after Kirkenes.

Stein Håvard Fjestad was just 11 minutes behind Tunheim to Neiden II. Rumour tells that he does not want to be the first one on the trail. But why was he the first one out of Kirkenes then? Probably to press Tunheim to take shorter breaks. Report from Neiden II is that the both teams where looking fresh. Fjestad had changed positions of some of the leader dogs out on the trail.
