Episode Notes
Welcome to episode 334 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
It is race week at Orcas Island, and we are going back to the vault.
Episode 334 is Throwback Mixtape number five — a re-release of our 2021 Orcas Island race report from Episode 91. This race is one of the chapters in the book of the LTBz. Chipper showed up banged up from a fall, bonked hard somewhere in the middle of the course, and spent the better part of four hours getting dragged around one of the most brutal swimrun courses in the US by Chris. This is one of the races we are most proud of. The course is savage. The community was incredible. The pizza after was legendary.
Before we roll the tape we share our current thoughts heading into race week — what we have learned since 2021, why neither of us feels the need for redemption anymore, and why we just want to go back and have a great day on a great course. Our friend Tommy is back as driver, photographer, bodyguard, and emergency medic. We are ready.
If you are heading to Orcas Island on Saturday May 30th, come find us at the start-finish area at 11am for a fika with the LTBz and Wild Swimrun with Sarah and Viv, then join us at the Envol shakeout swimrun in the afternoon. Details on the Instagrams.
Enjoy!
