If you ever envied Baloo from The Jungle Book, floating downstream a river effortlessly, the River Adur swim in England is for you! The swim is a wetsuit legal (even mandatory!), tide assisted, salty 5km event, making it one of your fastest 5km you will ever swim. It makes it also a perfect first event…
Wetsuit, trainers, googles and swim cap on, I was ready to participate in my first swimrun event, a sport which requires participants to complete a course alternating several sections of run and open water swimming.
After last year’s racing season had to stop brutally in June due to injury, I lined up on the start line of Staffordshire Half Ironman early June with a goal of sub 6h in my mind. With a year of rehabilitation for my ankle/foot, and 4 full months of dedicated training on the 3 sports,…
