ÖtillÖ Utö, race report

Ötillö Utö is a special race. On this day one year ago we got the idea of doing swimrun together and this was the race we were looking at. We didn’t think that we would do som many races before this.

We took the ferry to Utö at the race day. Started with some Nocco ice pops and rested before the race briefing. This time we knew a little more about everything and could be more relaxed. We didn’t check the course so well. Maybe something that we should do next time. Fanny wrote the swim distance at here hand and we got info that it was between 6-10 degrees in the water. It was cold but we have been practiced in this so it would be ok.

We started with a 2,2 k run before the first swim. The running felt ok and we started quite fast. The first swim was interesting. We tried to have a tow rope for the first time. It ended up with some problems and in the middle we decided to swim without it. We need to swim more with a tow rope so we can use it at races. We could feel that our legs was still a little tired after the races the weekend before in Croatia.

The coming swims went better but it was a little cold and we didn’t get warm at the runs. It was 7 swims in total and the race was 13 k. We where in 4th place after the first swim and hold it until we reached finish line. Super happy and we still know that we have many things to work on.

A fun race and we looking forward to do the longer one next year.

Running with backpack – Review Silva Strive Light 5…

We have had the opportunity to test the backpack Strive Light 5 from Swedish Silva and are pleasantly surprised. It is a stable and flexible backpack with many adjustment possibilities. The backpack can hold 5 liters of packing, which is perfect for running in a few hours. The design is stylish, it’s slim to the back, which means it does not skim around. There are many compartments for gels and mobile phones as well as room for liquid by having a liquid blower at the back or bottles on the chest. The backpack also works great for use without a sweater, as it does not give any shafe.

Silva Strive Light 5 has a relatively low price and a good quality. We often use it in training and have had it on several longer races.

Race report – 2XU Idre Fjällmaraton

We did it! 28 k in the Swedish mountains. Our goal on this race was to have fun, record some content and share the race at our and 2XU Swedens insta stories.

We came up to Idre on the day before the race and stayed with the 2XU team. It was a long time since both of us ran this far so this race where more like training to upcoming races.
The weather was almost perfekt for running. Not to warm and not to cold. A little bit rain but not to much. The first 8 k was quite easy. After the second energy stop we got to see the magic views. We played some music and had fun. Sometimes it was both sun and rain at the same time. It was beautiful.

The second part of the race was a little bit harder. Big hills and a lot of stones on the trail. It was as promised a tough race. We took it easy without any stress. We are so proud that we didn’t got lost and it was a super fun race.
