Harder first in, but Dalby first out of Karasjok

A psychological thriller took place at the checkpoint in Karasjok in the limited class of Finnmarkslopet. Sten Are Harder from Kirkenes arrived as leader at the checkpoint in Karasjok. Hans Petter Dalby from Alta arrived shortly afterwards, but decided to only make a short stop to go back onto the trail in the lead. He put psychological pressure on his opponent. Harder decided to feed his dogs at the checkpoint and had to take out one dog out of his team. Then he started to follow on Dalby's trail.
