Pippa Middleton has been training for the Otillo Swim-Run Championship which takes place in Sweden on Monday. The race is 47 miles, and comprises running and swimming across 26 islands in the Swedish archipelago. Middleton is raising money for the Michael Matthew Foundation by running the race. Middleton said the following, as quoted by People:
"It's not for the faint-hearted. [The race comprises] almost three Ironman swims and one and a half marathons. I was taken by the idea of competing in the stunning surroundings. Otillo has an edge to it that stands out above other endurance races. We won't give up unless we risk long-term injury, so it will be a huge test of our resilience and grit, managing our highs and lows throughout the day. I like to get into a rhythm when competing but covering 26 islands with around 50 transitions constantly breaks your rhythm. The atmosphere, the combined feeling of nerves and excitement on the day, it's one of the best feelings."
