This will get long and I’ll most likely revise it a few times as more memories come back to me or I find more photos of me during the race. I’d like to start this race report off with a huge thanks to my wife. Back in September/October 2019, pre Covid, I asked her if […]
Earlier this week I got information about a fund raiser for WaterAid, and I felt like it was something that I could really get behind. The idea is set up for anyone who can swim and has time can attempt to swim a marathon 42.4km during a period of 12 weeks. Since I have been […]
In the area of Sweden I live, week 8 is our winter break, or a direct translation from swedish is sport break A large portion of the people in sweden use week 7,8 or 9 to go skiiing every year. The country splits up this week off so that only 33% of the country try […]
I don’t usually write about specific workouts here on my blog. Maybe that’s because I have a training journal that I document everything I do on Jogg.se. Since the fall of 2018 our Masters group has been greatly improved by the presence of a former Syrian distance swim coach Nidal. During his first fall...
Since I am hoping to get another eight swims and even a few Crossfit workouts in this year I am not ready to summarize 2020, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that I stay healthy and can keep my motivation up for next summer. I only have on goal for 2021, and that is […]
I found it interesting that I did not write about this, but based on my OW season totals I thought I would be able to pass 1,000,000m swimming around the 20th of Sept. But getting sick on Sept 1st did not help. I eventually surpassed the 1 million meter mark on Sept 30th. Unfortunately, my […]
I understand that a lot of swimmers got upset this summer. I was more than upset. On April 29th I along with 13,000 other swimmers got an email that this years Vansbrosimningen was cancelled. It was to be expected that we would not be able to race since Sweden had just implemented a rule forbidding […]
Back in April as the world was shutting down I was contacted by Mark Johnston about an online event that he was putting together. It didn’t take more than a day or two and then the event was online, and I was registered and started to recruit others in Sweden and the US to join […]
2020 is not the year that anyone saw coming. I am just happy that I live in Sweden and we have not closed down society or had a lock down. Sure we have restrictions to follow like stay home when you can (ie only essential travelling), avoid contact with the elderly, working from home if […]
Monday after work I go home, make some chili and rice for dinner, but don’t have time to eat before my planned 18:00 swim. So while I am cooking dinner for the girls I make two hot dogs as a snack to make it through swimming. I had skipped lunch by mistake and knew I […]
