The fifth leg is a short one -- only about 7 km.

As the runners go around this short leg, I'm going to log off and get myself organized for tomorrow's race. I'm hoping Swampfox (or Anna?) will be able to keep the updates coming.

Congratulations Spike! Reaching quadruple digits on the Forum stats... Now you'll have to reach for 5! (of course this is an event that at least some of us have anticipated with as much enthusiasm as 10-Mila.)

It's Denseln and Leksand now into the exchange. Tisaren and Halden have fallen back.

-- Mook (everett@psi.edu), April 27, 2002.

Halden 2-some min. back, then Tisaren, NTNUI? A Finnish team 6th? I think...

-- Mook (everett@psi.edu), April 27, 2002.

... well forget that. At least it is Leksand and Denseln in the lead, Halden 3rd.

Is it really the 5th leg being run now? I've just stepped back inside after my "Long Snow" run (I won in 2:15).

Nahh, it's got to be later than the 5th leg, surely.

-- Swampfox (wmikell@earthlink.net), April 27, 2002.

Well, I know Lillis is looking for Halden's runner, the former World Champ Petter Thoresen, he's seen Malung's runner, 5:30 after Leksand (?) 21:03 LT

-- Swampfox (wmikell@earthlink.net), April 27, 2002.

Another group is on the way in, and Lillis just mentioned the 6th leg, so maybe that's what leg it is?

-- Swampfox (wmikell@earthlink.net), April 27, 2002.

Leksand in front of some Finnish team which is 4 minutes back, then Deseln, and Thoresen for Halden did punch in and was 5:30 behind, on the 6th leg.
