American Darren Miller and Irishman Stephen Redmond took a slew of different modes of transportation to get travel around the world this weekend.

They both will be in Kodomari in Aomori Prefecture overlooking the imposing Tsugaru Channel for their upcoming Oceans Seven swim this coming week.

10+ hour intercontinental air flights followed by high-speed trains, taxis and bullet trains brought the American and Irishman to Japan where unseasonably low water conditions will meet the intrepid pair of marathon swimmers.
