Welcome to episode 297 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We’ve got a great one for everyone this week. Joining us to discuss mental strategies for when you’re on the other side of the mountain top–such as having just raced ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship–is sports psychologist and extreme endurance athlete Dr. Erin Ayala. In this conversation she shares her wealth of knowledge from her therapy and coaching practice on how to deal with post-race blues, DNFs, and being in the moment. We recorded this conversation before our trip to Sweden with the hope that everyone that raced ÖTILLÖ (or is thinking about racing an epic A-race) will find it to be a useful resource.

Catching Up with Team Mr. and Mrs. B

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.
