Welcome to episode fifty-two of the Low Tide Boyz - A Swimrun Podcast!We are kicking off a new series called “Advanced Topics in Swimrun” where we deep dive into specific aspects of Swimrun. In this episode, we discuss Swimrun Flow. What do we mean by Swimrun Flow? It’s hard to describe but it basically means achieving optimal Swimrun technique and moving through nature as seamlessly as possible. We feel like we really unlocked or leveled up on our Swimrun Flow at the Ödyssey Swimrun Austin in early November and we thought that we would share what we learned during our best race performance to date.There were three reasons why we think we had our best race to date. First, hosting this podcast gave us a wealth of knowledge that we applied to the best of our abilities. This included having a detailed race/nutrition/hydration plan that we stuck to. Second, we made sure that our transitions were smooth and our time at the aid station was kept to a minimum. We probably saved 20 minutes just from having practiced transitions during our Swimrun practices. Finally, we kept the tether attached for the entire race. Keeping the tether attached during the runs really helped with our pacing and allowed us to move more seamlessly through the course. For teams that are looking to advance in the sport, working on the skills mentioned above are low hanging fruit that can help teams unlock their Swimrun Flow.That’s it for this week’s show.
