Q&A
– Why do you want to participate in One Water Race?
I've never imagined a race more designed to my strengths than the One Water Race! This race combines everything that I am good at and everything that I enjoy doing: cold water, open water swimming, orienteering, multi-day racing, mental challenges, etc.
– Have you taken a similar challenge before?
Yes, I have done many multi-day adventure races in cold temperatures with no sleep.
– What are your strengths?
Never giving up (I completed Ötillö in 2015 after fracturing my patella bone in half on the third island), open water swimming, and being mentally tough in challenging situations.
– What are your weaknesses?
My biggest weakness will be the total running miles. Fortunately, it's broken into smaller segments so I will get a break while swimming.
– What will be your biggest challenge?
Training through the Florida summer with temperatures over 35C.
– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago?
Yes, raced Ötillö twice and homestayed with a local triathlete for a couple days.
– What do you know/think about the terrain?
Just like Sandham to Utö...slippery rocks in the water, crazy terrain on the uninhabited islands, and lots of wild chives so we smell onions the whole time.
– What are you most looking forward to?
Meeting the 9 other teams that are chosen for this event because it's fun meeting other crazy athletes!
