Musher in the 14-dogclass arrived in fine order in Levajok. It is all about tactics and hidden agendas.
Tore Bergby came in first. With only 36 resting at checkpoint Skogansvarre he has apparently been resting somewhere along the trail. Furthermore, Bjørnar Hansen Østigård had the best check-time, with about 4 minutes to Harald Tunheim. Though 4 minutes doesnt sound like much at this point, it will mean alot more in the end. Winner of Last years 500km, Elisabeth Edland, rested for two hours. She has been the fastest on the trail so far.
