<p>Welcome to episode eighty of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>This week’s show will hopefully leave you saying Snyggt! (“Nice!” in Swedish)</p><p>In this show we are demystifying one of the most mystifying aspects of Swimrun to non-Swimrunners and Swimrunners alike: The Tether!

Major kudos Tom!</p><p>Make sure to check out our <a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/lowtideboyz">Strava Club</a> and follow fellow Swimrunners from around the world as they train for races and life.</p><p>This Week In Swimrun (Powered by <a href="https://raceid.com/en/">Raceid.com</a>)</p><p>It’s been a good week for Swimrun news!</p><p><a href="https://otilloswimrun.com/race_category/engadin/">ÖTILLÖ Engadin</a> took place over the weekend and it looked as epic as ever.
