Cold and wonderful lakes
February 3, 2025 | 10 reading min.
Aaron Rolph isn't just a mountain athlete; together with two friends he will defy the cold, diving into three Alpine lakes between Como and Chamonix.
In this audiovisual piece, Eric Lagerstrom explores his desire for meaning, freedom and connection through triathlon, beyond performance.
In this audiovisual piece, Eric Lagerstrom and Nick Goldston invite us to join them on a journey far from the rankings, data and goals, in order to explore something more essential: the simple act of moving.

In this conversation, Eric reflects on what really motivates him to swim, cycle and run. Since he was a child, triathlon has formed a part of his identity, and over the years, top level competition has led him to prioritise structure, discipline and routine. But in the midst of this perseverance, something began to waver: the curiosity that had initially caused him to fall in love with the sport.

In his search for answers, he’ll embark upon a summer of rediscovery through Colorado, Arizona and British Columbia. No plan, no specific goals - just a deep desire to reconnect.
And so the question arises that guides this story:
Is the journey enough? And can it silence the voice that asks “what if no one else even cares?”

For best results, take your measurements with no clothing on
Place the measuring tape over the widest part of your chest.
Hold one end of the measuring tape in place and circle your chest, keeping the tape straight, until the tape reaches your starting point.
Get a book, a hand mirror and a pencil.
Take off your shoes and anything you wear on your head.
Look for a level surface to stand on with a smooth wall behind you.
Stand in front of the wall with your feet together.
Balance the book on your head and press it against the wall. Use the mirror to check that it is in a horizontal position and well centered. Mark the position of the top of your head on the wall with pencil.
Once the mark is made, step away and use a measuring tape to measure the distance from the ground to the mark you just made with pencil.
Step on the scale, without clothes or accessories, and write down your weight.
