Welcome to episode 224 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!We've got a great course preview for everyone this week. Joining us from Cape Cod to talk about Swimrun Cape Cod are New England Endurance Events Race Directors Kathleen Wheeler and Andy Scherding. This event is taking place on Sept. 21st in Wellfleet, Massachusetts and it’s going to be awesome! You don’t have to take our word for it, just listen to our conversation with Kathleen and Andy later in the show!Special welcome for anyone that is new to the show and the sport of Swimrun. We think that we’ll have a bunch of folks that will be registered for Swimrun Cape Cod so we wanted to encourage everyone to head over to our website where we have a ton of resources to help new Swimrunners get to the start line feeling prepared and stoked for the adventure. You can also DM or email us anytime with your questions.But first…This episode is brought to you by our friends at FORM Swim. They recently released their new Smart Swim 2 goggles and these things are a game changer!  Training UpdateTraining for ÖTILLÖ Whistler has begun. We’re about 100 days out from the big day and stoke levels are reasonably high already! Lots of swimming and running in various permutations over the next few months. #LFGShoutout/Feats of Endurance ComboWe’re doing a combo shoutout this week to all of our Swimrun and Swimrun-adjacent friends who ran the 128th Edition of the Boston Marathon this past Monday. We might have missed some of you but big shoutouts to Sarah Monk, Keith Lindquist, Kanoa King, Phil Saenkov, Lily Kriv, and Danny “Da Monsta” Divinov. Bit blanket shoutout to everyone else that towed the line.Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.Show BusinessWe’re going to be doing an AMA-style show in the next few weeks so DM/email/messenger pigeon us with all your burning Swimrun questions. If we don’t know the answer, don’t worry because we probably know who does.Swimrun Cape CodIt was great to chat with Kathleen and Andy. We have been in contact with them since they announced the race last year and I was literally in Boston last year the day before what was supposed to have been the inaugural edition of the race when it was canceled because of BLEEPING Hurricane Lee. (Rest assured that Andy and Kathleen had insured the race so every participant that wanted one, got full reimbursement of the registration fee.) That did not deter them from keeping it on their robust race calendar and, at time of this podcast’s release, have virtually sold out both distance offerings. In this conversation we get the entire story of how a Swimrun race was born and the labor of love that it took to create an event that is at once uniquely New England and very much a Swimrunners dream course.Registration might be sold out but if not, we highly encourage you to not wait and sign up for Swimrun Cape Cod.And as a bonus, the race was recently featured in Outside Magazine.
