VENTURE Travel Island hopping: slippery rocks, punishing cross-country runs and frozen fingers are just a few of the hazards that competitors encounter as they race from Gotska Sandön in the north of the archipelago to Utö in the south goggles and donning the hand paddles. The more you keep moving, the better. From 2008 to 2010, my then partner and I won three years in a row. We were ahead for much of the 2011 race, too, but then my teammate fell ill and we had to retire. My first victory was the most enjoyable; the oddest came in 2010. We were more than 20 minutes ahead of our closest rivals as we reached the island with the longest run, but some kids had torn off the signs in the woods. We got totally lost and ended up five minutes behind the other team. But the setback gave us the motivation to fight our way back into the lead, and we finished more than three minutes ahead. My wife and I line up at the start. Now, I know the course like the back of my hand, but I’m no longer aiming for personal bests. It’s a perfect day out in the fresh air – with the mother of all workouts thrown in. The ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championship is on August 31; otilloswimrun.com Trailblazers: Swedish swimrunners Fanny Danckwardt and Desirée Andersson of Team Envol took first place in last year’s women’s race with a time of 9:05:29 The hard yards Colting on his hates and highlights of the race Munkö: horror isle (running length: 2,450m) “My worst nightmare every year. The island isn’t made to be run on. There are sharp slippery rocks, fallen tree trunks and brambles everywhere. You wonder, ‘Why the hell am I here?’” Nämdö: meeting point (running length: 8,300m) “You run almost 500m to get to a feeding station, then run the same route back. This is the only one of the 24 islands where you meet other teams, so there’s time for a quick motivational chat.” Utö: the end stage (running length: 3,650m) “You feel a crazy rush of adrenalin as the torture is about to come to an end. Clamber out of the water, over the rocks and hit the gravel track. It’s like the lap of honour to the finish.” JAKOB EDHOLM 70 THE RED BULLETIN
