Bjorn is momentarily startled by this unexpected move, but--trained warrior that he is--he responds quickly. He attempts to knock Ulberth's feet out from under him in order to cause him to fall off the sled. As he does so, he grips the reigns more tightly in his hand, in case Ulberth should try the same thing with him.
Unarmed trip attack. Since you wrote up the character sheet, you probably don't need a reminder that Bjorn has Improved Trip and that this therefore doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.

Bjorn shoves and pushes at Ulberth and manages to push him off the sled. Then he drives on. But the Rathgar chieftain quickly rolls over and hangs on to the back of the sled, sliding on the snow, hanging on just right behind where Bjorn is standing, one hand on the sled, the other on his dagger.

On a moving sled, you all have -2 to attack, and if you do not make a Dex roll of (the sled driving difficulty of the current round) you have -4.

Bjorn drive: r5+7=12 for 52m.

Init: Bjorn 13 Ulberth 2.

Bjorn: Dex roll: 11+2=13, success.
Ulberth: Dex roll: 8+1=9, fail.
Bjorn trip attack: r13+6-2=17, success.
Opposed STR roll:
Bjorn: r19+4+4=27
Ulberth total: 23. Tripped.

Ulberth: Ref save to hang on to the sled: total 14, success.

Total distance covered:
Ulberth's sled 990m
Bjorn: 918m (with Ulberth on the sled)
(we're counting back here...)

Bjorn swears in disbelief. He wonders if Ulberth is mad to show such desperation--or does he fear that his people will kill him should he lose the race? Bjorn has no time to worry about such things though. Instead, he stamps on Ulberth's hand, trying to dislodge him from the sled, once and for all.
Attack roll. I assume this is a called shot, with whatever penalties that involves--I can't seem to find the rules for called shots in the SRD.

As the sled leaves the aisle, Bjorn kicks at Ulberth's hand and he hits it fully, the Rathgar chieftain howls in pain and lets go, he lies there in the snow but quickly gets up and throws his dagger at Bjorn, and it hits Bjorn's back as he turns around to guide the dogs. It does not stick in him, though, falling onto the frozen ground of the plains.
I'll just make it another trip attack:

Bjorn dex roll: r13+2=15, success.
Bjorn attacks: r16-2+6=20, hit.
Opposed strength roll:
Bjorn: r17+4+4=25
Ulberth total 6.
Trip succeeded. Damage to Ulberth 7 hits. (I am assuming that you deal normal unarmed damage if you kick at someone's hand in this case.

Ulberth throw dagger: total rolled 23, hit for 6 damage

Health Update:
Ulberth: -7
Bjorn 20/26
Bjorn drive: r5+7=12 for 52m
otal distance covered:
Ulberth's sled 990m
Bjorn: 866m (with Ulberth on the sled)
(we're counting back here...) The lake will start at 750.

Bjorn grits his teeth in pain as the dagger strikes him. Then he grins as he realizes that Ulberth's actions have actually set the Rathgar chieftan back considerably--he will have to walk back to his sleigh and start from there. All this has given Bjorn a considerably lead over Ulberth. He refocuses on urging his dogs forward.
Bjorn goes at 50m, plus aid to self.

Cursing to himself, the Rathgar chieftain runs back to his sled and mounts. Then he sets in into motion and turns it around.
All the while, Bjorn drives along, soon coming near the frozen lake, where he needs to choose if he will go around it or straight over it.
Bjorn aid self: success.
Bjorn drive: r6+7+2=15 for 55m
Bjorn aid self: success.
Bjorn drive: r7+7+2=16 for 56m


Total distance covered:
Ulberth's sled 990m (with Ulberth on and facing towards the lake again)
Bjorn: 755m
(we're counting back here...) The lake will start at 750.

Health Update:
Ulberth: -7
Bjorn 20/26

Bjorn urges his dogs on, steering them around the edge of the lake. With the skin of mead his and Ulberth well behind him, there seems no need to risk going over the lake. He is also hoping that Ulberth won't take that risk either, since he didn't last time. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be any need to take that chance now.
Bjorn goes at 50 m, plus aid to self, around the lake.

Bjorn goes along the lake but the going is tough and suddenly, one of his reins break! It will be more difficult to steer the sled with only one rein.

All the while Ulberth makes his way down the aisle and has almost reached the plains.

Bjorn: r6+9=15 for 55
Bjorn: r1+9=10 for 50. Mishap: critical failure confirmation: rolled 2, fumble confirmed.

Ulberth: 10, 13 for 50, 53m

Total distance covered:
Ulberth's sled 887m
Bjorn: 650m (going along the lake)

Health Update:
Ulberth: -7
Bjorn 20/26

A broken rein will give you a -2 on all driving rolls. You could climb to the front of the sled and catch the two ends and tie them together, but all the while the dogs will run on (unless you stop them) with driving+0.

Bjorn grunts with frustration as the reign breaks. He glances behind him and sees that Ulberth is still far behind. He lets the dogs keep running, while he climbs forward to fix the broken rein. It may slow him down a little now, but he thinks it will benefit him in the long run.

Ulberth's sled speeds along as he whips and curses his dogs to a great speed as he attempts to make good some distance to Bjorn. He arrives at the edge of the lake.
Bjorn climbs onto the platform, grabs the two ends of the rein and knots them together again. When he climbs back to where he can drive again, a low branch of a tree comes up behind him and threatens to throw him off the sled. But he ducks in time and climbs back, reins in his hands again.
Bjorn: climb roll1: r11+6=17, success.
Bjorn climb roll2: r4+6=10, success (barely).

Dogs drive: r3 for a total of 3, 43m
Dogs drive: r6 for a total of 6, 46m.

Ulberth aid self success, drive total 27, for 67m!
Ulberth aid self success, drive total 26, for 66m! That's what I call good rolling...


Total distance covered:
Ulberth's sled 754m
Bjorn: 561m (going along the lake)

Health Update:
Ulberth: -7
Bjorn 20/26
