OCEANMAN RACE

Recently, I completed the 2023 Oceanman race at a beautiful lake in northern Italy called Lake Orta. The distance was 5.5km and took me 2 hours and 33 minutes.

I ended up on the podium for third place, in the age group 1619.

Overall I felt determined to finish the race despite, at times, wanting to quit! I also had the support of my friends and family to guide me along to the finish.

This is an amazing race if anyone is into open water swimming, but it also takes a lot of mental and physical strength. It is definitely something I will do next year!
