Polardistance 2015 once more

Now I have talked to Håkan again and have to edit some of what I wrote yesterday. 

He was very pleased with dogs that have worked really well throughout the race ( he was out for 22 hours , with an obligatory stop at 10 min for veterinary control , the stop was about 18 minutes as Håkan also took the opportunity to give the dogs food). 

Despite the fact that the dogs had been working for 22 hours they were still alert at the finish line and Håkan meant that there would have been no problem to run them one more lap . 

The veterinaries who check status of the dogs after the race gave him praise, they were all in very good condition. 

 About 27 km before the finish  one ski binding had frozen with the result that he could not lift his foot because then he dropped the ski. Because of this, there was some thirty falls before he finally was able to cross the finish line.

 It was -24 degrees centigrade and full moon at night , harsh trails but excellent temperature for Samoyeds and the samojedhat was nice and warm to wear.

The team reaches the finishline after about 22 hours
