About an hour ago I spoke with Håkan on the phone. Right now they are on the last leg with seven of the original 12 Samoyeds, which he started with. He is very pleased with how the dogs worked through the entire race. The tracks have been soft and the contour interval has been great.
The seven dogs that now are left in the team are working hard and just as usual rushing in wild gallop when a squirrel suddenly appears on the trail- these wise Samoyeds have always saved energy to hunt.
The plan for the race that Håkan had done, has been followed and he expects to finish at around 13 o'clock today. It remains basically about 20km trail on a lake, a mental challenge for the dogs.
The team came in to CP Storåbranna 2 at 0:49. There, he took the last mandatory rest period of 4 hours and left the CP at 5:09 for the final leg of 60km.
Now we are looking forward to the finish!
