Welcome to episode 255 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got a great show for everyone this week. We also seem to have backed ourselves into a theme this month but we’re going to roll with it. Joining us to talk about the state of the sport of Swimrun on Planet Earth is our Super Intern in Charge of Special Projects, Dave Dammer. We do a deep dive into his research and findings about the number and breadth of Swimrun events in existence.

We’ve got a special show for everyone this week. Fresh off of completing a feat of endurance for the ages, Nargus Harounzadeh (half of Team Därk Wäve) is back on the show to talk about her Manhattan Island 100km solo Swimrun.

Training Update
With ÖTILLÖ Whistler in our rear view mirror, we have a couple of races coming up in quick succession with the Folsom Swimrun in a week and ÖTILLÖ Casco Bay in three-ish weeks. We’ll be training through Folsom and getting in some longer swims to get ready for the ocean swims in Maine.
Shoutout/Feats of Endurance
This week we are doing a combo to highlight everyone that raced Rockman over the weekend. Once again this epic race didn’t disappoint. For those who don’t know, this year’s edition of the race was 51 kms in distance with 6 kms of swimming in chilly fjord waters and 45 kms of “extreme” trail running. Oh, and there is almost 12,000’ of elevation gain on the course! Literally everyone that lined up for that race is a legend in our book.
