Welcome to episode 219 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got a great one for everyone this week! Joining us from England to talk about the inaugural Studland Swimrun is race director David Trehane. This race is a labor of love by someone who loves Swimrun as much as we do. We do a deep dive on the newest event to hit the U.K. Swimrun calendar with a course overview/tourism bureau advertisement and so much more.

But first…

Training Update

Haven’t shared a training update in a while. Besides continuing to train, perhaps the biggest announcement to share is that we are pivoting from racing ÖTILLÖ Engadin to ÖTILLÖ Whistler this summer.

Shoutout

This week’s shoutout goes to our newest Patron on Patreon: Aaron M. Thank you so much for the support and hope to see you at a race in the near future!

Feats of Endurance

This week’s winner is our friend Sarah Fergot for racing the Marin Ultra Challenge “MUC” 50 Miler in the heavenly Marin Headlands over the weekend. This was after attending a riveting talent show the night before for our children’s school so bonus points for that.

Make sure to sign up for our LTBz Strava Club and join Swimrunners from around the world as they train for stuff.

Show Business

We have a new piece of content for you all racing ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship. We have assembled all our ÖTILLÖ-related episodes and content in one easy place on lowtideboyz.com. From our in depth course previews, to ÖTILLÖ-specific fueling and gear convos to our very own race reports you can find it all in one easy place. 

Studland Swimrun Course Preview

It was great to have a proper natter with David. He’s a long-time Swimrunner, first-time race director, and an all-around great guy. In this conversation we talked about the genesis for the Studland Swimrun, did a course preview, and so much more. This was a stellar conversation and this race is 100% on our bucket list and should be on yours as well.

Enjoy!
