Welcome to episode 291 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got our first official LTBz team race report for everyone this week. 2025 has been the most varied year of Swimrun for us to date where we've raced with different partners, distances, etc. but we finally towed the line with our usual team format for this past weekend's Folsom Swimrun. We raced both the short course and the long course events (a.k.a., The Chipper Double) and had a blast. In this episode, we recap our race, share the results of our new race strategy, and tried to keep the complaints about the super cold water (and our lack of arm sleeves) to a minimum.

Enjoy!

We’ve got an epic episode for everyone this week. Joining us to recap their adventure at this year’s Rockman Swimrun are our great friends Liza Dunham and Mike Schiepke, A.K.A., Team Cali-Coed.

Welcome to episode 289 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We've got an all-timer for everyone this week. Joining us to discuss her preparation for The One Water Race (and Swimrun) (and life) is elite Swimrunner Kayla Kobelin. She's racing as part of Team 7 in this year's race and we discussed what actually makes this race the "ultimate proof of human capacity," how is she training differently this time around, and so much more. We've been meaning to get Kayla on the show for a long time and we're glad that we finally made it happen.

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 283 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We just got back from Bellingham Swimrun and the vibes were as Swimrun-y as ever! Joining us for this race report is our dear friend, and now teammate, Annie Molsberry. We raced as a three-person team and had a blast enjoying the amazing venue of Lake Padden. In this episode we breakdown our prep (such as it was), share our race report (unexpecting things happened), and relive what was an amazing weekend in the Pacific Northwest (already planning on going back next year!)

Enjoy!
