Jude Palmer looks at how to work with your swimrun race partner
U p until now, all the swimruns I have done have been with a partner in traditional pairs format. The added dimension of getting someone else over the finish line, as well as myself, is one of the factors that makes swimrun special. Sharing the highs and lows is part and parcel of a swimrun adventure. I also know that many times I probably would not have finished a swimrun if it wasn’t for the egging on, the pushing up the final steps, and the ridiculous conversations and laughter that results from pairs racing.
