Wondering what Magnus and Sanna have been up to? Well, one thing they've been doing is skiing. Both of them finished the "oppetspar" of Vasaloppet (90 km if I remember correctly).

Magnus finished in 6:53.42 and Sanna had 7:15.50. Looking at the results and splits times on www.vasaloppet.se, it looks like Magnus went out pretty hard. By about the 2 hour mark he had about 10 minutes on Sanna. But, in the next 5 hours he only gained another 10 minutes.

You can see photos of both Magnus and Sanna at the start of the race. Go to:
