Q&A

– Why do you want to participate?

The archipelago in Stockholm is amazing and the perfect environment for an epic adventure. I’m not a swimmer so when i got asked to be team captain I saw my chance to still be a part of this race and help my team. 

– Have you taken a similar challenge before?

I have been doing adventure racing since 2010 but never any swimrun.

– What are your strengths?

Navigation and organisation.

– What are your weaknesses?

I’m more used to race in events rather than being a team captain. But hopefully that will help me to understand what the team needs to keep going even when it gets tough.

– What will be your biggest challenge?

To keep the team well fed, happy and moving towards Landsort.

– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago?

I have done many sea kayak trips in the archipelago and all of them have included navigation.

– What do you know/think about the terrain?

It can be tricky to navigate at night when the visibility is bad. All islands tend to look the same in the dark.

– What are you most looking forward to?

Trying a brand new concept of endurance racing.

I really, really hope it's choppy. Windy. Strong currents. The harder, the better, because as swimmers, that's how we excel."
