Looking forward to 2021

Karl-Oskarsimmet 2020

Saturday the 13th of June was the first time in the history of our local OW race that I actually was able to participate. In 2016, it was a very very small race with two distances; 925m and 1850m. I spent all morning helping to get the race area set-up, then all afternoon on a […]

How my taper effected my million meter challenge

So I did it, I managed to keep my taper plans. It took more will power to follow through with it considering there was no Swedish Nationals to taper for. But luckily for me, my swimmers were up for some practice races and I managed not only to reduce my swimming, but cut back in […]

The Viking – 42+km OW

Yeap, you read that correctly, the Viking is a 42+km OW race, where the + is because the actual swim distance is not a straight line.

Weightpull EM och Tough Viking

Efter att ha kört hela natten igår till färjan kom vi fram 10 minuter innan båten skulle gå. Vi kom med och fick välförtjänt sömn i hytten, till o med Joker låg stilla även om han ville upp på däck så fort någon reste sig upp. Nikita o Alfred tog resan med ro. Nu har vi sovit på hotell så väntar på att...

Swedish Open Water Nationals

With little to no speed training this summer I thought it would be fun to take Lily back to Gothenburg for a 2500m race to end the season since she seemed to like it last year. So we make it a family getaway weekend. We book a cabin and day passes for Liseberg. Saturday morning, […]
