Away from the pool, Otter's Jean Rolland took the solo win at the Gravity Race swimrun in Nantua, eastern France, on Saturday 12 September.

The Long course is a 40 km race from Lac Genin to Lac de Nantua, alternating 6 km of swimming across two lakes with 34 km of running and 1,700 metres of climbing. Jean finished in 5:54:54 to win the men's solo race. Sébastien Lamande was second, 28 seconds behind, with Charley Iriart third in 6:01:37.

With swimming as his main asset, Jean took the lead early on in the race. A 28 second margin after nearly six hours of racing made for a tight finish.

Congratulations Jean on taking the title in such a gruelling competition. That's the Otter spirit!
