"Teams of two race together from island to island (Ö TILL Ö). The teams swim between the 19 islands and run on them. The total distance is 64 kilometres of which 10 km are swimming and 54 km are running."

All in all, an epic event that I'm very proud to have finished. Not to to mention the fact that we finished as team 32 out of 73 with a time of just over 13 hours. 

Exhausted but delighted team of Martin Johansen & me.

Yes, the race was created under the influence of alcohol and came out as a bet... ;-)

Finally
I believe that Financial Times got it rigth;  "Endurance is the new golf".
