Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian In early August, another sail to the nautical mile in the North Sea took place. This year the competition was held for the 65th time. And the Bluemandal rescue team - the main organizer - celebrates its centenary this year. The uniqueness of this competition lies in the complete unpredictability of weather conditions. B last year there was calm and very warm water, more like jellyfish soup.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian 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 already ran here in 2019 year and was not going to return. And the track is not the fastest for me, and there’s nothing special to look at when you run for the result. But the organizers of the Utrecht marathon, after its postponement for a year, offered all participants free slots for a dozen.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian 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.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian I’ll talk about another trailer organized by the KAV Holland athletics club and traditionally held in Zuid-Kennemerland National Park. The event is not very large-scale, usually collecting 2-3 dozen participants. Without official timing, which essentially makes it a fan race in a circle of friends and friends. This year the trailer was held on September 4th. At the same time, and around the same place, the final day of the Grand Prix of Formula 1 was held on the track in Zandvoort.

Disclaimer: Automatically translated from Russian On Friday night, August 12, I thought about sports plans for the next weekend. I climbed into the site with a catalog of competitions and discovered hitherto an unprecedented event - Zeemijl van Bloemendaal. As the name implies, this is a sail on a sea mile in the North Sea. It is organized by the Bloemendaal aan Zee rescue team and has been carried out no less since 1955, that is, for the 64th time.
