No stranger to competitiv­e sport, Jacobsz enjoyed the challenge of the Val de Vie course. “My guide Petro was a superb – she sounded like a tour guide: ‘branches on the left’; ‘loose rock right’; ‘donga ahead’.”

The single track terrain was not too bad for a visually impaired athlete.

‘‘I would love to do this race again and inspire more visually impaired athletes to try SwimRun, not necessaril­y for a competitiv­e time but for the fun of it, and to be outside.”
