At 23:09 on Monday and after 59 hours of racing, Team Cross Sportswear left TA5 in Saxnäs as the first team after the five hour mandatory rest and medical check that all teams must do in Saxnäs. They are now going out on Section J, a shorter mountainbike section followed by approximately 17 hours of cross-country skiing combined with ropeworks. The long ski section, going over the beautiful Swedish fjelds, will probably be the race decider.

Unless a team decides to stay more than five hours, next team scheduled for going out is Team Lundhags at 23:56, followed by Team Salomon Suisse at 01:55.
