Welcome to episode 281 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We’ve got a great episode for everyone this week. Joining us from Norway to talk about their epic Catalina/Southern California/Vegas adventure, and so much more, are Coach Loyd Færøvik and Coach Ruben Wallentinsen, a.k.a., Team Swimosaurus Flex. We met this duo in Two Harbors and knew we wanted to get them on the show. In this conversation, we covered everything from treating hills like snacks, how powerlifting can make you a better Swimrunner, and what the local Swimrun scene in Norway looks like. This was a fun one!

We are the Löw Tide Böyz (Chipper and Chris), a Swimrun team based in Northern California and we're on a mission to help grow the sport of Swimrun in the United States while striving to make it as accessible, inclusive, and diverse as possible. 

On our podcast we share our love for the new-ish sport of Swimrun and interview race directors, athletes, and other cool people in the space all the while chronicling our own training and racing adventures and having as much fun as possible in the process.
