Q&A

– Why do you want to participate?

I want to participate in the One Water Race because I believe in the power of human connection and coming together around a common goal of bringing awareness to the threatened health of our waters.  Just like droplets of water from around the planet, I love how all of the athletes will unite in the archipelago to not only test ourselves in competition but also form new friendships and bonds as we take on the extreme challenge together.

– Have you taken a similar challenge before?

Yes, over the years I have fallen in love with orienteering combined with endurance challenges which has evolved from short course races and score-o’s to the adventures I undertake now which include both organized events like 24hr Rogaines or expedition adventure races like America’s Toughest Race and unsupported solo objectives. Living in Central Oregon I am extremely fortunate to have a backyard mountain playground for heading out the door for long challenging adventures.

– What are your strengths?

I believe my strengths include positive and supportive team attitude, steady and consistent endurance, high functioning with sleep deprivation, navigation especially night time, fun hallucinations, experience, resourcefulness, and unique custom gear design and fabrication.

– What are your weaknesses?

My weaknesses include the cold, hydration, biting insects, and kid nobody, at 46 I ain’t as young as I once was!

– What will be your biggest challenge?

I really anticipate my biggest challenge to be the cold and so it is important for me to go into the race with perhaps a few extra kg’s of insulation buffer and the right gear to support our adventure. Luckily, we live in an area with cold mountain lakes and the Deschutes River right here in town that is fed by snowmelt so we can fully test our kit and train prior to heading over to Sweden.

– Have you been to the Stockholm archipelago?

I have heard so many wonderful things about the beauty of the archipelago but unfortunately, I have never been to Stockholm. However, I grew up in New Jersey with a neighbor family, the Uganders, who have since moved back to Stockholm and it looks like they may be hosting our team at their home on Scarpo just East of Vaxholm

– What do you know/think about the terrain?

I’ve been pouring over maps, satellite imagery, videos and any other resources I can get my hands on and I am super excited about the terrain. I think the water to land and land to water transitions will be tricky at times and we will have to stay sharply on top of our navigation but nothing scares me, it’s all exciting! Also, coming from 1100m elevation with dry dusty lava moon dusty soil I am excited about adventuring at sea level with the rock and flora of the archipelago.

– What are you most looking forward to?

Honestly, I am most excited to meet new people and make some new friends. Of course I’m looking forward to the adventure too, but the lasting connections between teams that come from extreme tests of endurance like this are truly magical.

The race distance is about 250 km, a distance of 6 marathons, split up into approximately 200 km running and 50 km swimming. Running takes place on all types of terrain, rocks, cliffs, gravel roads, paths but mostly unpaved and difficult terrain. Swimming is in open sea and can often feature strong winds, currents and waves.

👋 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.”

🎽 About the race The OWR concept is straight f 🎽 About the race

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.
