Welcome to episode 336 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Three months out from the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championship, and we are bringing you our most-requested episode type: the full day-by-day travel guide for race week in Sweden. We have done this race a handful of times and we get the same DMs every single year, so we decided to just answer everything in one shot. Where to stay, how to get from the airport, whether you actually need cash (you don't), what goes in your drop bag, and yes, how many fikas you can realistically fit into a single trip.
We walk you through the whole week, starting from arrival at Arlanda and the Arlanda Express into Stockholm, through choosing between city center or Sigtuna, getting to Djurönaset and entering the race bubble, the ferry to Sandhamn on race morning, and finally what happens after you cross the finish line at Utö. We make the case for staying Monday night so you catch the post-race breakfast, which genuinely might be one of the best parts of the whole experience.
We also check in on where our training is. Chip wrapped up a recovery week after ÖTILLÖ Orcas Island and jumped into a new block with a 4500-yard Monday swim thanks to Coach Liz, plus a new HYROX event on the calendar to keep the strength routine honest. Chris is officially starting his build, has been using the mental performance app from Dr. Erin Ayala's recent episode, and is treating strength as cumulative rather than all-or-nothing.
Before the travel guide, we spend some time on gut training, which is something we are actively working on as part of our ÖTILLÖ prep. We break down how to establish your baseline carb intake, how to ramp it up incrementally, and the two practical tips we actually use in our own training: the 20-minute timer on the watch and grabbing an extra gel at every aid station. If you are planning on being out there for eight, ten, or thirteen hours, this stuff matters. Precision Fuel & Hydration has a free race planner tool with ÖTILLÖ loaded in, and their sports science team offers free one-on-one calls if you want to talk through your fueling plan specifically.
Finally, keep an eye out for our Löw Tide Böyz Fika Meetup announcement. We will be hosting it again in Stockholm on Saturday, and last year we took over a pretty solid chunk of the cafe. You won't want to miss it.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 335 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We just got back from Ötillö Orcas Island and this is our first swimrun race report of 2026. Five years after our first time racing on the island, we returned to a redesigned course, a stacked field, and a weekend that delivered from the moment we stepped off the ferry. This is episode 335 and it is a big one.
The weekend kicked off with a FIKA shakeout co-hosted with Wild Swimrun and the newly launched Wild Onez podcast. The turnout was great, the energy was high, and ARK Sports set up shop and had one of their best sales days on record. Our buddy Tommy joined us as crew and camera and kept the whole operation running smoothly. By the time race morning arrived, we were ready.
On the course, we cover everything: the technical singletrack, the cold open water swims, how we managed gear and nutrition over six and a half hours, and the moments where the partnership that makes swimrun what it is really showed up. This was our 25th swimrun together as a team, and the race reminded us exactly why we keep coming back.
We also talk about why we think Ötillö Orcas Island is pound for pound the toughest swimrun in the United States, what the race confirmed about where our fitness is heading into the ÖTILLÖ World Championship, and what is next on the calendar including Bellingham Swimrun at the end of June and our sixth Ötillö Casco Bay for the 10th anniversary race.
This episode is sponsored by FORM Swim. We have been using FORM goggles for years and they keep getting better. Head to formswim.com to check out their full lineup including the new Smart Swim 2 LT at a great price point.
Enjoy!

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.

Welcome to episode 333 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Triple threes. We are officially in taper mode for Ötillö Orcas Island, and we brought back one of our favorite guests to help us make the most of what is left in the build.
Brian Johns is Head of Coaching Science at FORM Swim and a three-time Canadian Olympian. He is also the brains behind the FORM training plans that Chris has been running almost exclusively for two years with excellent results — including some very generous feedback from the master swim coach on deck who keeps gassing up his form score. We had Brian back on to talk about what is actually happening inside those plans, how to read and act on the data the goggles give you, and how to design swim training specifically for a race like the Swimrun World Championship.
On the product side, FORM has the new Smart Swim 2 LT at $149, which gets you the heads-up display and the full coaching platform. The Pro 2 is their top of the line with Gorilla Glass lenses and high-end anti-fog. And Head Coach Insights — their newest software feature — gives you direct feedback on your swim after every session, including what to work on and why.
The coaching conversation is where this one really takes off. Brian walks through the two levers of swim speed — stroke length and stroke rate — and how to manipulate them for open water racing. He explains why tracking your form score length by length beats tracking it by interval, how the goggles can give you real-time feedback that even a coach on deck cannot, and how to use success-based training to progressively build your interval length without grinding through bad swimming. His framework is simple: find the distance you can hold well, own it, and then extend it.
For swimrun specifically, the conversation gets into how to structure brick sessions — swim before and after your long run, nothing fancy, just getting the body comfortable transitioning — and our favorite pool set for mimicking race conditions: 10x100s with a deck-up after each one. Brian had the same workout in his notes before we even mentioned it.
On race tactics for Ötillö — Brian did his homework watching YouTube footage of the course, and his read is the same as ours. You cannot win the race on the first mile swim, but you can absolutely lose it. The swim is front-loaded, the racing is tactical, and quiet confidence going into the water is worth more than brute force.
If you are heading to Orcas Island, come find us Saturday at Rosario Resort. We are hosting a fika with Wild Swimrun starting around 11am, and the shakeout swimrun with Marcus Barton and Team Envol follows in the afternoon. Details on the Instagrams.

This month is Orcas Island month, and we are kicking it off with someone who is, safe to say, super stoked on swimrun. Julia Dinesen is a multi-discipline endurance athlete from British Columbia who found the sport via an Ötillö Instagram ad, signed up for the World Series distance at Whistler on her first ever attempt, and has been hooked ever since.
Before we get to Julia, we share a few tips for getting the most out of your swimrun practice sessions as we head into race season. Have a plan before you show up. Decide what you are testing. And do transition drills — the Boston Wet Sox, the best US team in history, are still doing them deep into long practice sessions, which tells you everything you need to know.
Julia found swimrun the way a lot of people do — an Instagram ad showing someone running off a cliff in their running shoes into the water. She saw it, looked up Ötillö Whistler, realized it was an hour and a half from her house, signed up, and loved it. In this conversation she shares what that first race was like, what she learned from it, how the 859-day running streak actually works, what it is like to be a swimrunner in Western Canada where nobody has heard of the sport, what gear changes she is making for Orcas, and what she would tell anyone who is on the fence about signing up.
One moment worth flagging for anyone who has ever talked themselves into finishing something: Julia once rode 25 kilometers on a flat tire at a triathlon in the Okanagan, finished an hour after everyone else, and ended up qualifying for age group world championships in Australia on the roll-down. Her take on getting through hard things — it is more embarrassing to quit than to come last, the training is where you get all the benefit, and crossing the finish line is just the proof that you did the thing.
FORM Goggles are sponsoring us all month as we build toward Orcas. The new Smart Swim 2 LT is their entry-level goggle — $149 for the heads-up display and full access to their training platform. Send us a DM if you have questions about it.
We will see Julia — and a lot of you — at Orcas Island at the end of the month.

Welcome to episode 331 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Four months out from the 20th anniversary of Ötillö, the Swimrun World Championship, and we are leaving no stone unturned. The physical training is building nicely. Chris just finished the London Marathon in 3:37 and downing 90 grams of carbs per hour, and Chipper has been stacking consistent weeks. Orcas Swimrun is at the end of the month. The build is very much on.
This episode is about training the thing most people ignore until it is too late — the mind. We brought back Dr. Erin Ayala, sports psychologist and host of the Feisty Women's Performance Podcast, who joined us last year right after Ötillö to help us process the other side of the mountain. This time we asked her to come back four months out and answer the harder question — how do you actually prepare mentally for a race like this before you get there?
Here is what we covered. If there is one thing you take from this episode, Dr. Erin says it is mindfulness and meditation — and she has the numbers to back it up. The effect size for consistent mindfulness practice on sports performance is 1.35 standard deviations, which puts it well above most physical interventions. Three times a week, five to ten minutes at a time, is enough to start. Her top free recommendation is the Healthy Minds app out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, which removes all decision fatigue and walks you through a structured user journey.
On visualization — the number one mistake people make is visualizing success. What actually works is visualizing reality. The anxiety at the start line, the chaos of a mass start swim, the moment three quarters through a long run when you want to walk. You plan for those moments, visualize your response to them, and on race day it is easier to execute because you have already been there. For Ötillö specifically, that means the jellyfish at the first swim, the cold water on your face, the sighting into the sun, the sharp rocks coming out of the water. Make it vivid and make it real.
On team psychology — communication is everything. Dr. Erin walks through the pre-race conversations every swimrun team should have, including what you each need on race morning, transition quirks, how you want to be supported when things get hard, and what your partner's body language looks like when they are struggling. The hive mind Chip and Chris describe at their best races is a skill you build, not something that just happens.
On navigating the noise — the athletes and coaches worth following are the ones who say it depends, who are willing to be wrong, and who are not selling you a system. Major in the boring. Consistency with hydration, nutrition, sleep, and strength training is 95 percent of the work. Everything else is optional.
Follow Dr. Erin at @scattisportspsychology on Instagram and check out the Feisty Women's Performance Podcast.

Welcome to episode 330 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast.
A few weeks ago we did our in memoriam for Max Andersson. This week we are going back to the vault to share our first solo conversation with him, originally recorded on June 30th, 2022 — just a few months before he and Hugo Torment would go on to win every single ÖTILLÖ World Series race that year, set a course record of 7 hours and 1 minute at the World Championship, and become the first team ever to run the table in a single season.
This conversation is from Episode 130. Max talks about how he first got into swimrun in 2017 on a dare with a friend, at a time when he had never swum a proper freestyle stroke in his life. He talks about the process of going from complete beginner to world class athlete through consistency, coaching from Ko Lundin, and guidance from Oscar Olson. He shares what it was like to partner with Hugo, what draws him to the sport beyond the results, and how he sees swimrun continuing to grow.
What comes through in every minute of this is exactly what so many people have shared since we lost him in April. He was warm, generous, funny, and genuinely in love with this sport and the people in it. Competitive as anyone, but always in it for the right reasons.
We are grateful we got to know him. We hope this gives anyone who never got the chance a sense of who he was.
In memory of Max Andersson. Gone too soon. Our thoughts remain with his family and the entire swimrun community.

Welcome to episode 329 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
You have done a few swimruns. You have the basic kit sorted. Now you are starting to notice the fiddly bits. Episode 329 is our Swimrun 201 breakdown of all of them — the advanced topics that come up once you have done a couple of races and started asking better questions.
We go deep on tether management, kangaroo top organization, gel storage for races of every length, hydration on the move, sunscreen, eyewear, spare gear, and all the small things that separate a comfortable race from a chaotic one. A lot of this evolved from listener questions we get all the time, and all of it requires practice before race day. We share what has worked for us across 30-plus swimruns and what we are still iterating on heading into Orcas and Ötillö Worlds this year.
A few highlights from the episode: keeping the tether engaged for 90 percent of the race and why it works better than the alternatives, how to organize your kangaroo top so you always know exactly which pocket to reach for, storing 12 gels for a race like Ötillö using interior wetsuit pockets, rock tape, and a bandolier system, using a collapsible flask stuffed down your pant leg for hydration without the bulk, and why sunscreen is still the biggest unsolved problem in swimrun.
If you are new to the sport, start with our Swimrun 101 episodes — you can find them all in the LTBz Knowledge Base at lowtideboyz.com. This episode picks up where those leave off.

Welcome to episode 328 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast.
On April 6th, Max Andersson — two-time Ötillö World Champion, Otillo World Championship course record holder, and one of the most beloved people in swimrun — died tragically in an avalanche in Norway. He was in his mid-thirties.
This episode is our attempt to honor him. We talk about what Max meant to the sport, share our own memories of time spent with him, and try to put into words what so many in the swimrun community are feeling right now.
Max and Hugo Tormento of Team Ark Swimrun were the most dominant force the sport has ever produced. In 2022 they became the first team ever to win every ÖTILLÖ World Series race in a single calendar year, including the World Championship, finishing in 7 hours and 1 second — a course record that still stands. But anyone who knew Max will tell you the results were only part of the story. He was warm, generous, funny, and genuinely present with everyone he met. A fierce competitor and an even better person.
We were lucky enough to spend real time with him at Casco Bay in 2023 — lunch at our favorite spot, hours of conversation while the fog postponed the race. That time with him is something we will not forget.
He will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with Max's family, Hugo, and the entire swimrun community.

Swimrun Shoes 101: Everything from the Knees Down | Episode 327
Welcome to episode 327 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
The most popular gear question we get is about shoes. Do you need a special swimrun shoe? Are you going to get blisters running in wet socks? We are busting every myth in this one.
Episode 327 is a full Swimrun 101 breakdown of everything from the knees down — shoes, socks, laces, modifications, how to test your gear at home, when it makes sense to upgrade, and how to retire a pair with dignity. It is a callback to one of our most popular episodes ever, the Swimrun Shoedown, recast for 2026 with everything we have learned since.
The short answer on shoes: you probably already own something that works for your first swimrun. Start with a trail shoe that drains well, do a bucket test to check, lace it snug, and pair it with a thin synthetic sock. Blisters are not actually a thing in swimrun — we have done 30-plus swimruns and countless training hours and it has never happened once.
For people looking to upgrade, we break down how to think about it — course type, race distance, technical terrain vs. fire roads — and what we are actually racing in heading into 2026. Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Trail Ultras have been our go-to for the last few years. The Hoka Tecton X3 is on our radar for Ötillö Worlds in September. We also cover lace swaps, the drilling holes debate, gaiters, dry bags for post-race travel, and the LTBz tradition of leaving your retired shoes at the race site.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 326 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
The Countdown to Ötillö series is back. With five months to go until the 20th anniversary of the Swimrun World Championship, we are kicking off a monthly series tracking our build all the way to September. This one is packed.
First, super intern Dave Damer joins us to break down the 2026 Ötillö start list. 199 teams, 24 countries, and nearly half the field doing Ötillö for the first time. US participation has gone from 16 athletes in 2022 to 68 this year, and two new countries, Argentina and Zimbabwe, are on the start list for the very first time.
Then Coach Liz — Chipper's swimrun coach and Ötillö finisher — sits down with us to talk through what a five month build to a race like this actually looks like. Rest days, balancing training with family and summer schedules, open water swim prep, wetsuit practice, gut training for a race that can go all day, and the gear decisions you want sorted before you are standing at the start line in Sweden.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 325 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got a great show for everyone this week! We’re going back into the vault for our Throwback Mixtape series with a conversation from 2020 with the one and only Erika Rosenbaum. Not only is she an amazing Swimrunner, she launched the “short course” Swimrun movement, and if that wasn’t enough, she literally coined the name “Swimrun” and then gave it away to help grow the sport. She’s a legend and we’re excited to re-share our conversation with her.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 320 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Partners Month continues this week! Joining us on the podcast is mixed team Sarah and Hugh, A.K.A., Team Party Pace. (An all-time great team name!) These teammates from afar have put together some impressive performances including competing in last year’s ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship. In this conversation we covered how they met, how they work together, and shared a mini-race report from their journey across the Archipelago.
If that wasn’t enough we are also joined by our Super Intern in Charge of Special Projects, Dave Dammer, to talk about the global slate of Swimrun events for 2026.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 313 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Our 5th annual Partners Month continues this week with a great show for everyone! Joining us from The Green Mountain State (Vermont) is Team Wild VerMamas, A.K.A., Amanda and Fiona. This team has burst onto the Swimrun scene with some impressive ÖTILLÖ wins in the women’s category as well as inclusion in the inaugural ÖTILLÖ Elite program for 2026. If that wasn’t enough they are also collaborating with Wild Swimrun to get more women and girls into the sport. If it wasn’t obvious, they've passed the Swimrun vibe check with flying colors!
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 317 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got something new (sort of) for everyone this week! We’re kicking off our new monthly series, called Throwback Mixtape, where we share some of our favorite conversations from our 6+ years of podcasting. We’re kicking things off with a conversation from all the way back May 28, 2020 (Episode 21) with Annie Molsberry and Brooke Lindsley, A.K.A., The Swimrun Labs. This episode was the beginning for a friendship that we are forever grateful for as well as the progenitor of our Gear Talk podcast all about Swimrun gear. This one gave us all the feels and we’re stoked to introduce (or re-introduce) you to two of our favorite people.
Enjoy!
