Swimrun – half swim – half run – all epic
Today, I’m gonna talk out about my new favorite sport – swimrun! It’s like triathlon’s wild cousin, perfect for open water junkies and trail runners who crave a challenge. I do love triathlons also, but i think it is legal to like both.
Ever since I did the Rockman swimrun competition in Stavanger, my hometown in norway, I’ve been hooked. In this video, i will be going over the essentials, from the cool gear (think wetsuits you can actually run in!) to why it’s way different from triathlon. But most importantly, we’ll explore why swimrun is just pure fun.
Imagine this: blasting through open water, scrambling over rocks, and hitting the trails – all in one go! It’s an adventure race that throws everything at you, and conquering it with a teammate by your side makes it even more epic. All this, while carrying snacks on your kangeroo t-shirt!
So, if you’re looking to ditch the ordinary and test your limits, swimrun might be your next obsession. Stick around as we delve into the world of swimrun – gear tips, getting started, and why you’ll be signing up for your first race in no time!
I usually do my movies in norwegian, but this time i made an exception.
