Presenting TEAM NO 5 – URUGUAY, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA

  • Team No 5
  • April 13, 2022

Why do you participate in OWR?

We like to explore our limits, and at One Water Race we believe that we are going to find some new frontier facing the best teams in the world in an unprecedented expedition. And, of course, this is our opportunity to support an initiative that aims to defend our seas and oceans.

 

What will be the biggest challenge?

The difficulty in any adventure competition depends on factors such as the terrain, the distance, the distribution of the disciplines, the weather, and, of course, the rivals. In the Stockholm archipelago we will face nine powerful teams that will be very difficult to overcome. That will be the main challenge.

 

How do you train for a challenge like this?

To prepare ourselves we will make a specific plan of about twelve weeks that will progressively include long distances on cross country terrain with the appropriate slope, a weekly swim that will exceed thirty kilometers per week and many transitions, especially in the final stretch of the process. Orienteering will be key, and the dynamics between the navigators too, a lot of work will have to be done on that. Teamwork is guaranteed, it is one of our strengths in the Adventure Race World Series.

 

What is your strength as a team?

Our strength lies in recognizing our weaknesses and seeking to overcome them. Step by step we have managed to compete relaxed, managing to stabilize high averages taking care of each member of the team. When we make a mistake there are no claims, there are actions to correct it.

 

What are your goals?

Our goals are to train very hard to feel comfortable in the race, because if that happens, we can be among the best; make few mistakes and manage them in the best possible way; come out of this challenge better than when we started it.

 

What are you most looking forward to?

We expect a very intense race from the start, with a few hours at sprint pace and then the race little by little putting each team in its place. As happens to us when we fight for first place in an international event, we will see beautiful landscapes pass before our eyes where we will want to return without much haste.

We suggest that he sings a song, but all he can think of is psalms. We wade through swamps, get attacked by vast amounts of mosquitos that we whip with spruce debris."

By this time the news of Team 7 pulling out of the race had come through to us. This just reinforced our focus on our own routines; eating and drinking and just kept moving towards Landsort."

Soon we were happy to be on Ornö to take on the challenge of a long hard run and orienteering with sleepy minds. As we reached CP9 Robban told us the hard facts; we are now 6h behind and we need to speed up."

"On the way to CP3 we made our biggest mistake. Ar "On the way to CP3 we made our biggest mistake. Around 3am, I got tired and we made a change of lead navigator and I handed off the maps, and as we all know from adventure racing this never ends well… we ended up far south, off the current map that we had. It was beautiful and nice trails, the sun was rising, when we got to a point and realized something was off, there shouldn’t have been a cove and boat on our right. All of the sudden Kristen zipped down on the boat and said guys you are way off."

Zipping across the island to CP3, passing Team 1, arriving in fourth just behind Team 4. Hyped up and ready to carry this momentum, we were made to wait for our boat to arrive before the maps could be released for Stage 3. We watched Team 4 leave the CP and disappear out of sight as we waited."
