Torpedo has become an annual challenge for many of our finishers. It’s type-2 fun that they want – and the race has excitement in heaps.
Everybody likes fun. And fun, like anything, can be nuanced; not all fun is created equal.
In many ways like the sport of SwimRun itself, which conjures up varying reactions to swimming in shoes and running in a wetsuit. The Torpedo route also has this intrigue; it must be so good along the Cape’s coastline, but it’s scary too, right?
Then there’s the commonly asked question; how hard is Torpedo? Is it a mental or physical challenge?
We think that the answer is found at the finish line; in wild eyes and uncontrollable smiles. There’s no doubt that you’ve challenged yourself. Both mind and body – and that’s as good as it gets.
But there is only one way to know for sure and that involves pulling on a wetsuit (or not!) and jumping in. So we invite you to phone a good friend and ask them to join you. Enjoy the training and answer the question for yourself. It might be just what the doctor ordered.
