FL1000: Roger Dahl was the first to leave Neiden I

Roger Dahl went straight through checkpoint Neiden  1. He arrived at the checkpoint at 03.22 p.m, meaning that he was 12 minutes behind Nina Skramstad's racing time from Tana bru.

Roger only stopped to change the runner plastic, it is important to have optimal glide now. He was jogging around at the checkpoint, he had to leave one of the dogs there, and then he just picked up his food drop bag and got back on to the sled towards Kirkenes. He was only at Neiden for 12 minutes.

Roger Dahl did exactly the same thing in 2005 when he won the race.
