Description

Welcome to episode 114 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!This week’s episode is a good one. For the first time on the show, we have a Mother/Daughter duo joining us to talk about how that works! We are stoked to have Brooke and Samantha Fallon, A.K.A., The Fearless Fallons, on the podcast to share their Swimrun journey with all of us.But first... Training UpdateSwimrun Lake James is now only 6 weeks away! Open water swims are coming soon but until then, make sure to check out our course preview episode if you’re racing Lake James or are just curious about what we’ve gotten ourselves into.ShoutoutsWe’ve got multiple shoutouts this week! A big shoutout to the previous guests of the show Lolo Armstrong of Team Run for Tacos for running his first marathon over the weekend. Super stoked for you dude! Another big shoutout goes out to our favorite journalist Adam Skolnick for completing the 4x4x48 Goggins Challenge for the second year in a row. Bonus shoutout to Adam’s wife April for completing the challenge as well. Strong work!Feats of EnduranceThis week’s winner is Ignacio Eduardo Duarte Harriet for posting a nuts 77 mile, 8,000ft of elevation bike ride from Caracas, Venezuela. The elevation profile from that ride looked totally bonkers so strong work there!We have a bonus winner this week as well. Special kudos to our friend Derek Rosner for posting a run from Chris’s hometown in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

See you there! By the way, if you happen to be in North Carolina this weekend…DM Marcus Barton for deetz on a low-key Swimrun training that he and fellow Swimrunners are doing on the course. Over in Europe, Swimrun Portugal’s Azores Islands Swimrun is taking place in a few weeks on March 22nd. The race looks amazing so if anyone is racing it, let us know how it went.If you’re not familiar with the French Swimrun Man series, well you really should be. Their races look as picturesque as they are intense. Case in point, their first event of the year, the Gorges du Verdon Swimrun taking place on May 1st offers four distances, including a kids Swimrun (cool!), a “Classic” 28km Swimrun (sounds doable), a “Half” 47km Swimrun (that’s the half?!), and an “Ultra” 66km Swimrun…that’s also an ÖTILLÖ Merit Race. (We’d hope so at that distance!)That is it for this week.

The fun starts on Friday, March 18th with a beach clean up group activity, followed by a longer Swimrun on Saturday starting at 11am from Avalon and on Sunday the 20th, a shorter Swimrun, followed by brunch, and then an afternoon trail run.
