Meet Team 1 – Sweden

A team with long experience in endurance racing, with the Stockholm archipelago as their backyard. Pär, Annika and Joakim have a great track record in triathlon and swimrun and have done large sections of the course before. With Henrik’s navigation and multisport skills, they are a complete team to take on the adventure of one of the world’s toughest races.

They have all spent countless hours training and racing across and between the islands of the archipelago. To them, the One Water Race is the ultimate challenge both as an adventure and as a race.

“We also share the urgency to raise the awareness of the risk to our waters. Today we already have plenty of water refugees and it will just increase with the ongoing climate change. The One Water Race is a great way to inspire people to accomplish things that at first may seem impossible”.

 

 

 

”I’m very motivated to see if I can manage the complete course and to see how far outside my comfort zone I can go to accomplish that. I know that together with strong team-mates I can push myself very hard to reach the goal.”

👥 OWR Crew 👋 Meet Patrik 👉 Head of Logis 👥 OWR Crew

👋 Meet Patrik
👉 Head of Logistics

This is Patrik, head of logistics, from our partner Safety and Navigationsgruppen, who made the impossible logistic out it the archipelago, possible and surprisingly smooth! He oversaw the logistics and rotations for our safety boat skippers. Making sure they got out to the right place, with the right equipment, at the right time. Since the skippers need rest to maintain safety, each team's designated safety boat was crewed by two skippers working back-to-back in shifts, and Patrik made sure to maintain the crucial crew rotations around the clock. In between rotations, he resolved logistics around our media runners, photographers, and anything else that needed to be solved at short notice.

“I have spent many hours boating in the dark, but seeing the Landsort lighthouse illuminated in blue is something neither I nor anyone else has seen before, it was powerful to see. I can only imagine the competitors who, from far away, could suddenly see the finish line as they were swimming through the pitch-black August night.”

👥 OWR Crew 👋 Meet Nina 👉 Safety & Media 👥 OWR Crew

👋 Meet Nina
👉 Safety & Media Runner

Meet Nina – one of our nine impressive runners, assigned to run with the teams and film their adventure. With only a couple of small breaks she was running with the teams for over 60 hours, all the way to the finish line at Landsort. With a GoPro camera at the ready she filmed the assigned team’s conversations, injuries and anything else that could be interesting. She also had constant contact with the race HQ to communicate in advance how the team was doing, where they were heading, if there was any safety issues and their general status to progress in the competition.

“It was incredibly memorable to take part in 60 hours of adventure and see all the work behind it. And to be a part of the team's experience, which is everything from arguments, laughter, high to low conversations, hugs, encouragement and sometimes the misery of injuries, extreme tiredness, and abandonment... You got to experience so much just by running with a camera and filming, which I will always take with me”

👥 OWR Crew 👋 Meet Lollo 👉 Team Leader of 👥 OWR Crew

👋 Meet Lollo
👉 Team Leader of the Communication Center

Lollo – The sunshine below deck onboard the OWR HQ, the ship Briggen Tre Kronor! Always with a smile on her face, she tackled the most challenging situations as the team leader for the communication center, where they coordinated all communications between the different crew teams and race management during the competition, day and night, using radio and GPs tracking systems.

“Our most difficult challenge in the Communications Center was remembering to eat and take breaks. Since the race was non-stop, there was always something to coordinate and prepare. As the race management would hand out new maps at each new stage, it became untenable in the end as the leading team was many miles ahead of the slowest team. I made the decision to go out to a checkpoint myself to hand out maps to some of the teams during my planned break. It was fantastic to get out on the race track for real! The excitement of waiting for these outstanding athletes and then watching their tactics as the new stages was planned. Unbelievable!”

👥 OWR Crew 👋 Meet Pehr 👉 Head of Safety 👥 OWR Crew

👋 Meet Pehr
👉 Head of Safety

This is Pehr, our Head of Safety. During the race he will lead the safety organization from the race headquarters, Briggen Tre kronor, where he will monitor the progress of the participating teams and the approx. 80 pax strong organization to make sure they all feel safe during the event. As a senior project manager and with many years of experience in organizing and participating in various races, he knows that the biggest part of his work, is to be able to solve situations that arise in the moment. Weather and wind and other external factors that quickly change the situation are the biggest challenges. The passion for the competition, the people, the collaboration, and the beautiful unforgettable moments is the reason why he returns year after year. We are very happy that he does and look forward to a new – safe – adventure together with Pehr in August!
