– Why do you want to participate in One Water Race?
To be honest, there are only three reasons: – To reach the lighthouse at Landsort. – Create more fantastic memories with the team and the entire OWR family. – Experience how deep I can dig mentally when it really starts to hurt.
– Have you taken a similar challenge before?
Yes, OWR 2024 and OWR 2025. I want revenge!
– What are your strengths?
I can swim hard and fast for a very long time.
– What are your weaknesses?
Orienteering for sure!
– What would be your biggest challenges in this race?
The orienteering part will be the hardest part for me/us as a team. However, we will work together and make it work!
– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago and what do you know/think about the terrain?
Yes, and I love it! I had the time of my life during the 38 hours we raced in 2024. I really connected with the terrain and nature!
– What are you most looking forward to, if you would participate in One Water Race?
Reach the lighthouse at Landsort! Also, the journey towards Landsort with all the ups and downs throughout the race!
