Bente Lervorsenen (58) has given the boys a surprisingly though fight for the title of Norwegian Champion.
The experienced lady from Varangerbotn in Nesseby is described in musher circles as very knowledgeable. She is 100 % dedicated to her work with the dogs. Years of experience has given her a solid proficiency in breeding, selecting, and training the potentially best dog team. Bente participated in Finnmarksløpet for the first time already in 1987, when she came in 16th. She had a break from racing for many years. This year’s Finnmarksløp shows that this lady still has drive. She has had evenly good run times on all legs – among them a fourth best time in the leg in FL-500 towards Skoganvarre.
We congratulate Bente, her leader dogs Tiril and Imak with the bronze in the Norwegian Championship 2012 8-dogs.
