After a close chase, Roger Dahl and Kjell Brennodden arrived to Levasjok with a four-minute interval between them. Dahl is tired of being in the lead, and believes it's easier to run back. But, of course, he does not want to give up the first place without trying.
- I had actually prepared myself mentally to run right through, I thought Roger would really do it, says Brennoddem when he would have seen that Dahl looked like tired. Dahl says that he couldn't drive longer without a rest.
- I leave when Roger leaves, laughs Brennodden, and looks reasonably ready to what will happen next, even if he took out a dog.- It's enough with 10 dogs in the team.
Brennodden is proud of his dogs, especially for the only leader. - This is the winning dog, my princess. She's going to be the first one at the finish-line.
Brennodden was, in the last lap from Sirma to Levajok, attached to Dahl for almost an hour. Ørslien also arrived to Levajok one hour behind Dahl and Brennodden. There are big ice parts in the lap, and on one of these Ørslien slipped and was forced to drop the sledge.- That's when I started to get tired, but afterwards it went more and more faster, smiles Ørslien that went back to the race.
