Team Strömgren

<p>Welcome to episode 161 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>First, happy Swimrun Christmas for everyone vying for a slot to the 2023 ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship!</p><p>We are officially kicking off the third edition of Partners Month, wherein we highlight one of our favorite aspects of Swimrun: teams! First up this month are Annika Westin and Marie Anderzén, A.K.A. Team Strömgren. We’ve been following these ladies in our Strava Club for a long time and we were lucky enough to finally meet them in person in Sweden last year. This was a great conversation and we can’t wait to share it with you! </p><p>But first…</p><p>Training Update</p><p>The base building continues and Chris’s existential dread from not being able to swim for about another month is causing him anxiety. Despite that, we’re looking forward to training together more often on land until Chris finally is back in the pool/ocean.</p><p>Shoutout</p><p>Our shoutout this week goes out to the country of Switzerland. They recently cracked our top ten list for downloads by county and we’re for it. We will hopefully be “there for it” in Engadin in 2024.  </p><p>Wisdom Nugget of the Week</p><p>“Rest is honoring your body and its need to repair physically. It is also essential for recharging your emotional and spiritual batteries. It is the partner to work. When joined together these two powerful forces create magnificence in life.” - Mark Allen</p><p>Feats of Endurance</p><p>This week’s winner is our friend, previous guest, and <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/team-kancho-boyz">Kanchō Bōy</a> Addison. He posted a magical snow running adventure from his native Boulder and it looked…magical! Keep up the good work buddy.
