Q&A

– Why do you want to participate in One Water Race?

Growing up in Alaska, the ocean was not the first place to go looking for adventure, naturally it was the rugged outdoors. When I started surfing in California - the ocean stole my heart and many adventures followed which included sailing, surfing and open water swimming. I generally thrive in adventure, challenging circumstances and competition. I’m excited to have the opportunity to use my passions to advocate and bring awareness to the world's waters.

– Have you taken a similar challenge before?

This type of challenge will be totally new for me. I completed a 36 hr adventure race which included a very short dip in the cold water.

– What are your strengths?

Problem solving, maintaining a positive attitude and welcoming adversity.

– What are your weaknesses?

Pacing during the race. I was a collegiate track and field sprinter and over the years have been training to become an endurance athlete. It definitely takes some skill to dial it in.

– What will be your biggest challenge?

Accepting being cold and wet for days while pushing my limits with little sleep. Adjusting to swimming at night.

– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago?

I haven’t. I’m really looking forward to it!

– What do you know/think about the terrain?

The videos and pictures look gorgeous. The terrain looks rugged and the water looks cold.

– What are you most looking forward to?

Crossing the finish line!!! The challenge of competing against the best adventure racers in the world and experiencing the beauty of the archipelago.

👋 Meet Team 3 - USA Two returning athletes fro 👋 Meet Team 3 - USA

Two returning athletes from 2022, Jarrod Shoemaker and Kristen Smith, have used their experience to put together a new dream team. Now joined by the adventure racer and pro triathlete Alyssa Godesky and ultraman athlete Steve Keller. Needless to say, they're eager to finish...

“We made it 2/3 of the way in 2022 and now we need to get it done. Alyssa and Steve love big challenges and are excited to help push the pace. Our biggest challenge will be overcoming the demons of 2022. We need to stay positive and learn from our mistakes. What we thought would be the problems were not, so learning, adapting and moving forward are our goals.”

The OWR concept is straight forward; starting at Arholma in the north, the first to reach Landsort in the south is crowned the winner. Running and swimming, the only method of movement. No track and free choice of path but with some unknown checkpoints needed to pass along the way. A new route each year making it impossible to plan in advanced.

👋 Meet Team 2 - Australia The team will includ 👋 Meet Team 2 - Australia

The team will include Rob Preston, Elizabeth Dornom, Glenn Wilkinson and Julian Dent. Coming from a strong adventure racing and endurance background they have put in the hard work to transform their skills for OWR and finished second, when competed as Team 8 Australia in 2022.

“Now we have unfinished business in the Archipelago – we want to be on top of the podium!”

They will use their experience in ultra endurance events to balance speed and navigation to ensure to keep on course and keep mistakes to a minimum. Rob’s exceptional navigation skills will be complimented by Elizabeth’s all-round physical strengths and Glenn’s swimming prowess will allow them to keep moving fast, and in the right direction. Combine this with Julian’s exceptional organizational and tactical knowledge and now an extra year of experience, their goal is to be unbeatable.
