Why do you participate in OWR?

 

It’s not easy having Curly hair! Neither will the One Water Race be. Combine them together and it’s like kladdkaka and fika on a cold winter’s morning, perfection!

 

Athletically Team Curl is all about showing people you can push your limits while still having fun along the way. None of us take ourselves too seriously but we all put in the work to be the best athletes we can. Grinding and being in the pain cave is a place we relish and try to visit as often as possible. We bring a multitude of sports disciplines which go above and beyond just swimming and running and feel this helps us work together and really figure out ways to succeed when all looks grim.  

 

Water wise we are all high level swimmers and ocean going people. Justin loves to paddle, Brett is addicted to surfing and Lara is an avid sailor. Needless to say, we know water well and appreciate its importance in our daily lives. The Swedish archipelago is one of the most magical places on earth and getting to push are bodies to the extreme in this environment is the dream!  

 

Getting to combine our love of pushing our bodies with a race that promotes water awareness is right inline with where we should be in the world August 23-25…freezing, tired, hungry, curly haired mess and cracking jokes the entire way! 

 

What will be the biggest challenge?

The biggest challenge will be not having a waffle maker on the boat but aside from that, cold water, navigation, and not having a warm bed to crawl in at night.

 

How do you train for a challenge like this?

Swim, run, eat, repeat.

 

What is your strength as a team?

We make each other smile. Our light heartedness, positive outlook, and desire to push each other a bit further make us competitive and a good match for OWR.

 

What are your goals?

First goal is to have fun, the second goal is to not bend over and split the rear of our wetsuits, third is to compete and fourth is to finish.

 

 

What are you most looking forward to?

Watching the sunsets and sunrises, warm beverages, and the finish line. Furthermore, sharing this experience with others as an inspiration to protect and preserve our natural spaces.

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.”

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.
