Welcome to episode 243 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

At time of release, we are on the eve of the 2024 edition of ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship and we have a great episode to celebrate the big day. Joining us to talk about their forthcoming experience is Tracy Sesselberg and Sarah Haskell, A.K.A., Team Tracy and Sarah’s Excellent Adventure. This was a great conversation and we can’t wait to follow them on race day.

But first…

Training Update Chipper’s Knee Update

We’re replacing our training updates for the next few weeks to keep everyone up to date on the status of Chipper’s knee ligaments. No major update other than x-rays were negative and an MRI is scheduled.

Shoutout

This week’s shoutout goes out to our two newest Patrons on Patreon, Brett and Sarah. Thank you both so much for the support!

Feats of Endurance

This week’s winner is our friend Matt Murray (and one half of Team Landshark) for racing his first 50 miler over the weekend. Strong work dude!

Bonus shoutout to everyone that raced ÖTILLÖ Mackinac Island over the weekend. The weather looked amazing and the IG coverage was FOMO-inducing for sure!
