Spent half the summer looking for some more serious swimrun event. In affordability were mainly options in France and Belgium. At one point, I came across the organizers of the EcoSwimRun series. The most suitable event in time and distance was Swimrun Robertville, in the north of neighboring Belgium. 290 kilometers, a little more than three hours drive.
I considered this option for several weeks. Firstly, he monitored thematic facebook groups in which people are looking for partners.

I begin to embody summer plans. The first stop is the swimrun of Het Rondje Eilanden.
I already participated in this start last year, so I won’t go into details. The main innovation of this year - the competitive category included not one, but two circles. So my (and I’m sure many other participants) pleases were heard.
The route looks like this:
Twelve islands between which you need to swim and through which you need to run.

I have been waiting for this start for two years! The first time was registered in February 2021, but shortly before the event, in September, the registration had to be canceled - due to spring fall on a bicycle the whole warm season could not swim. Closer to the next summer, the limb recovered and after the pair test swims I decided that I could take a chance - somehow swim.

Finally, the report on the first official almost real pig, Het Rondje Eilanden, held on August 6, 2022.
A bit of background. I learned about this event five years ago from one JJ Frend, who participated in it and described it very beautifully. I put this start on the list for the future and forgot about it for a while. The next time I remembered in 2019 during a triatlon hobby and registered.
