Description
Welcome to episode 179 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!We have a MEGA show for everyone this week. Joining us in Studio G for a discussion on “the Swimrun relationship” is clinical psychologist, author, and all-around amazing human, Dr. Yael Schonbrun. This was a great conversation about partnership, values, and so much more and we can’t wait to share it with all of you!But first…Training UpdateUnlike our “training is moving right along with swimming and running as we barrel towards X” that we usually share, this past weekend we stayed on land and ran the Marin Ultra Challenge 50k in our extended back yard of the Marin Headlands. It was a fun day running in the mountains working on nutrition, pacing, meme ideas, etc. while putting in a big day on our feet in prep for ÖTILLÖ.ShoutoutThis week we’re shouting out to dryrobe for sponsoring the show last month. It was a blast to get to check out their new dryrobe Lite and we encourage everyone to check it out. We’ll be rocking ours at Casco Bay later this Summer in case anyone wants to see these awesome pieces of kit up close.Wisdom Nugget of the WeekIf you can’t imagine it, you can’t have it. – Toni MorrisonFeats of EnduranceWe haven’t done this segment in a few weeks so we’re giving out two awards this week. First up is Sacha Bergerhausen for posting a Swimrun workout in the town of Frickenhausen, Germany. Safe to say that anytime anyone posts a workout from Frickenhausen that there’s a good chance of winning an award.Our second award goes to Luke Hutchins for completing the Unbound Gravel 200 (formerly called The Dirty Kanza). Don’t know what this is? Well, it’s a 200 mile gravel bike race that takes place every year in Kansas and it’s a beast of race. Strong work on that!Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.This Week in SwimrunNow for the “news.”We’re kicking off this edition with another edition of our ad hoc series, Race Director Reports, with our friend and race director Nicolas Roman about this year’s EX Swimrun Super Sprint, EX 23 Long and Short events. We loved his enthusiasm and vision for what’s possible with Swimrun since we first interviewed him back in 2021 and as you will hear, he’s still super stoked!In other news, there were a slew of Swimruns taking place all over Europe. In Sweden, Jonas Colting’s Boras Swimrun took place and looked like a good time was had by all. In Portugal, the Tâmega Swimrun (which we recently highlighted in a course preview episode) a.k.a. the first ÖTILLÖ Merit race in Portugal went off without a hitch and literally all the photos look epic! Finally, over in Spain Swimrun Costa Azahar looked as magical as ever.Here in the United States, the Bellingham Swimrun is taking place this weekend in beautiful Bellingham Washington. There’s still time for folks to get their flights together so if you were waiting for the last minute, now’s your time to shine! (Also make sure to check out our course preview episode for this local gem of a race.) Finally, here in California we only have one Swimrun (why? Great question!) and it’s in Folsom on July 29th. We’ve said it before, but if we want to grow the sport in the U.S. we need to show up to the races. So come join us for the Folsom Swimrun for this fun/beginner-friendly event.

Reach out to us if there’s any Swimrun news that you’d like for us to share on the show.Show BusinessWe had an idea for an episode called “When Life Imitates Memes” and we want your help! Did a dog literally bite you in the butt during a race? Did you think that something poked you in the water only to realize that it was your partner’s paddle? You get the idea. All you have to do is send us a DM or email with an audio clip of your funniest/weirded Swimrun experience for a chance to get it shared on that forthcoming episode. We’re already
