Dato: 15.03.2014 11:25
Han var også 1.45 raskere enn vinner Sigrid Ekran. Fra Jotka til mål i Alta holdt han fortsatt farten opp, og holdt over 11,3 kilometer i gjennomsnittsfart hele veien inn.
Karasjok
Petter fell asleep after eating, in the dog truck.
Petter is now in Karasjok after running 911km. He is heading towards Jotka 83km away and then to Alta, another 50km. When he reches the finishline the dogs have taken him 1044km!!!
Resting in Levajok
Petter is now in Levajok. He had a good run here. Six of the seven dogs in the team looked really good. The seventh dog needed more rest, since she is a leaddog Petter needs her in the team and therefor decided to take an extra 8 hour rest.
Now it has started to snow and they are expecting a storm during the night so Petter will stay at Levajok where he and the dogs can rest comfortably and hope for nicer weather tomorrow morning.

Out from Neiden
Petter started out from Neiden in 15th position after he had taken his 16 hour mandatory rest. They made a great run in 5:37!
Some dogs have got some digestion problems, the same as some other teams. Now that he has done half the distance, Petter has reached the part of the competition where he can make use of some of his strong points as a musher. He helps his dogs more than the average, and there are not that many mushers with the same physical capacity.

Petter in to Levajok
Petter coming in with 14 dogs in the team to Levajok.
He gives the dogs some snacks before he takes their boties off and put out straw for them to rest on.
There has been alot of strong wind but according to the time Petter has still made a good run. Petter had the wind coming mostly from behind but it was ripping up alot of snow manking it very difficult to se the trailmarkers but the team came in to the checkpoint in good speed and the vet checked all the dogs and they are in good shape.

Here they are prepairing the depobags with dogfood that will be sent out to the different checkpoints by truck before the start.

Ready for Femundlöpet
The training before Femundlöpet is done and we will go to röros on wednesday. The dogs have been running 4000 km since August and the team looks good.
They are happy, have a good bodyweight, are eating good and best of all, they are running good.
The team this year is very intresting because Torsten Kohnert is going for the Yukon Quest and he brought only two of his own dogs plus Ulv that he borrowed from us.
From December when he left we borrowed the best of his remaining dogs and i must admit that some of his dogs are very very good.
The team for Femundlöpet will be as follow.
Kokos (Elim x Donna) Mainleader and unfortunately the only dog in this team that i trust for steering.
She will probably be one of my most important dogs.
Roy (Rolex x Donna) Is always there
Phoenix (Elim x Donna) Always one of the best.
Demon (Elim x Donna) probably my best dog in performance.
Mia (Fucken x Maran) leaddog, never getting tired and she loves strong wind
Wille (Elim x Trillobiten) Always happy and steaming on
Diesel (Elim x Donna) Always one of the best, at the moment he looks even better than his brothers
Skorpan (Handsome x Inmari) in heat at the moment and one of my last choises
Ginger ( Elim x Fire) Borrowed from Torsten. can run in lead, very good dog
Frost ( Alamo x ??? ) Borrowed from Torsten. A super dog from what i could see so far. Will become a very good leaddog and will probably be one of my most important dogs.
Buck ( Elim x Wilma) Borrowed from Torsten. One more super dog out of Elim. This dog really know how to run. Mainleader and will probably be one of my most important dogs.
Grålle (Biff x Wilma) Borrowed from Torsten good teamdog
Pepper ( Rumba x Mikey) reservdog, easy running little female
Dunder ( Elim x Donna) reservdog, main leader and a very good dog. He missed a few runs some weeks ago because of injury. he looks good now again but i might save him for Finnmarkslöpet.
