Welcome to episode 245 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a great one for all you gear heads out there. Gear Talk is back with our good friend, Anne Molsberry, to discuss an issue (and solution) that effects a lot of Swimrunners: the need to wear earplugs while swimming. We delve into the issue and share the solution (Surf Ears) that we have found that worked best.
Enjoy!

Luckily, Mr. Low Tide Boy 2020 himself was able to join us (for the 5th time) and he walked/Swimran us through the Whistler course and gave us a great update on the changes from our previous course preview episode with Dale Tiessen. It was so helpful to have literally the most experienced Swimrunner in America share his tips for approaching the course and what his gear considerations for the event.

Welcome to episode 230 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Gear Talk is back! In this episode we do a deep dive into the FORM Smart Swim 1 and 2 Goggles. FORM was cool enough to support the show last month and send us pairs of their new Smart Swim 2 goggles. Since we had already purchased the Smart Swim 1 goggles we sent a pair up to Annie for her to test in âthe lab.â We break down this amazing piece of training (and racing) tech and share our pull buoy rankings.
Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 229 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
Weâve got a brand new show format for everyone this week. This âYet To Be Named Show Formatâ is definitely not going to be called âCoaches Cornerâ but definitely features our first guest, Coach Liz Gilden. Sheâs a former pro triathlete, a fellow Swimrun kool-aid drinker and half of Team #batmansparents, the official meteorologist of The Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast, and endurance coach. In this show we pepper her with all the coaching questions that people send us.
Want to help us name this show format? DM us your ideas and youâre the winner, we send you an official LTBz drip package with shirt, hat, and other stuff.
Enjoy!
