Episode Details

Welcome to episode ninety-three of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

This week we have Stirling Miles and Lolo Armstrong, A.K.A., Team Run For Tacos, on the show. They share their inspiring Swimrun journey of training, traveling, and racing their first Swimrun at Ödyssey Swimrun Orcas Island a few weeks back. We loved chatting with them and their story will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

But first... 

Training Update

Ödyssey Swimrun Austin is four weeks away. We’re starting to pump up the volume on our training and did a 2 hour-plus Swimrun on Saturday to start dialing things in again.

Shoutouts

This week we’re shouting out Lindsey Ludwick from Virginia. Thanks for being a fan of the show and for wearing your Tie-dye hoodie with pride. Hope to meet you in person at a race soon!

Feats of Endurance

This week’s award goes to Robb Damman and his buddy Yanni for their 8 hour, 30.33 mile point to point Swimrun adventure in Durham County, North Carolina this past Saturday. They called the route “SCRAMP the Falls” and while we don’t know what that means, it’s still an impressive feat!

This Week in Swimrun

All the news that we could find on the internet contained herein.

It’s race week for ÖTILLÖ Cannes. Best of luck to everyone racing and remember to ignore the paparazzi. We’ll be putting out Cannes memes all week so make sure to follow us on IG to witness the ridiculousness. If that wasn’t enough, we will have some bonus race coverage thanks to our friends G Flo and Tobias from Team Max Mockermann who will be our “LTBz Correspondents in the Field” taking over our IG stories to share all the sights and sounds of Cannes. And it THAT wasn’t enough, we will also be releasing a Cannes Race Recap episode in the next few weeks so stay tuned for that!

This past weekend, Swimrun Cyprus held their annual race on the island. We loved seeing all the photos on IG and the event looked fantastic.

Gravity Race hosted the 6th edition of their Annecy Swimrun over the weekend. According to their website, they had 700 athletes participating in their three distance formats. Can’t blame the athletes for wanting to race because the Lac D’annecy is a pretty majestic location for a Swimrun.

If you’re looking for something to do on October 24, we recommend that you check out Swimrun Cote D’azur. We learned about this part of France from our friends Laurene and Irina, A.K.A., The Swimrun Mermaids, and they convinced us that it’s an amazing location for a Swimrun. (I foresee planning a double Swimrun vacation in the South of France with ÖTILLÖ Cannes one weekend and this race the following.)

Finally, it’s never too early to start planning for 2022 and Bauer Swimrun recently opened registration for their May 1st event in ​​Småland, Sweden.

That’s it for this week. Be sure to tip us off if there’s any news that you would like for us to share on the show.
