Leg 7 is unforked and is supposedly designed with a good change of pace according to the coursetter... going from technical legs, to some fast legs in the middle, then changing back.

Emil Wingstedt goes out in the lead for Halden.

13-some minute lead for Halden over Tamp. Py. at a radio control. Others follow in the next couple of minutes. The coverage is sparse now with the webpage updates stopped for some reason and the results on the videofeed are flashed through very quickly.

Following TP: Soedertaealje-Ny., Goteborg-Majorna, someone else, Goteborg...

We're watching the 2nd radio control now. It looks like a small know in an open area. 13:50 has ticked by since Wingstedt punched. We should seen runner soon...

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

Here they come!!! maybe 6 or so.

Kalevan Rasti, Turun Met. TP, Goteborg-M, Ravinen, and a couple more.

Who is this? Goteborg follows another minute plus after that group foollowed by Kristianstad, and Friskus-V.

We're seeing another radio control that's been used on numerous other legs. I guess Halden is due in there soon.

Halden has punched and the clock ticks...

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

I think DELTA is the other team near the lead that I missed earlier.

Meanwhile, we're Halden has punched what may be the last radio control and the clock ticks... 5 minutes passed so far!

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

A group with Kal. Rasti, TP, Soedertaelje-Ny., G.-Majorna, and Turun Met should be approaching the radio control fairly soon.

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

That group punched about 15.5 minutes after Halden. I guess Ravinen has dropped back a bit.

There's Goteborg 16:13 back.

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

Var aer Ravinen?

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

Ravinen punched 17:43 behind, running alone.

-- Mook (mook@mook.com), April 24, 2004.

I think IFK Goteborg has caught the group ahead of him (F. Loewegren). So, there are 6 finishers in a group about 14:45 behind Halden at the end of the leg.
