Ötillö Swimrun World Championship 2022 race report is ready! I love writing, so this requires a few minutes of attention…

Ötillo Swimrun World Championship done! The sheer brutality of it exceeded my expectations, by a lot. It is up there with the hardest character building sports undertakings I have ever done. I’d say the last hour will remain in my memory all my life. It didn’t break me, but it had the potential...

24 runs, 23 swims, 60k run, 10k swim, traversing a huge archipelago somewhere in Sweden at breathtaking pace tied to your race partner racing against 160 other teams who qualified for this event.
This is Ötillo World Championship, and it happened two days ago.
The idea of doing this race first occurred to me in 2014. It took me a while, but I made it. Thanks race partner Patricia Mountain to make this dream possible.

Hello Swimrunners, I am no more active on this page because I moved out of HKG, but I figured you’d be interested to read my experience of Swimrun racing Ötillö Isles of Scilly Swimrun World Series.
Enjoy!

In late 2014, my friend Bruce and me pushed the envelop of our swimming endurance with a 5-day 80k swim of Lantau island, the largest island in Hong Kong (Lantau Island 80k Swim) After this crazy undertaking, we were looking for a new challenge to do, something different. Another friend of mine

Dear all, I have been very silent but I am planning to revive this page.
For a start, I'm sharing here my second educational video. This one is about sport stress and life stress, especially how they add up... something to consider when you train! If you like what I do and want to know when new videos are released, please subscribe to my channel, I'll try to share new content on a weekly basis.

Sports Stress and Life Stress/Mental Stress cannot be dissociated. They add up to constitute the overall stress load that our body has to absorb to come back...

【SwimRun #1: HK Island 2020】With much regret, we have come to the difficult decision to postpone our fav. SwimRun route to the 13th Sept 2020 (confirmed) amid ever-stricter gathering conditions as well as worsening covid-19 outlook. Moreover, our decision is very much based on considerations for our beloved racers, dearest volunteers and cherished staff.
Let's stay home for our community！

有鑑於香港的冠狀病毒病疫情嚴峻，政府也實施了更嚴厲措施禁止多於四人在公眾地方聚集。至今疫情尚未見到任何緩和跡象，感染數字仍不斷上升，如此禁止群組聚集規例相信很大機會延長下去，為了參加者、工作人員以至公眾人士健康和安全，SwimRun 賽事將延期至本年度9月13號舉行。
支持留守家中，全城抗炎！
