They recently climbed into the top ten for downloads by country and we loved seeing that! It still blows our minds the people listen to our show from all over the world and we’re full of gratitude for letting us into your ears.</p><p><strong>Feats of Endurance</strong></p><p>This week’s winner is our friend Sarah Fergot. We’re pretty sure that she’s won this award before but her Marin High 5 Unsupported (solo) 50 mile FKT with 12,103ft (3,689m) of climbing over the weekend is pretty much an automatic award. She’s awesome and this feat is definitely amazing!</p><p>Make sure to join the <a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/lowtideboyz">LTBz Strava Club</a> and get inspired by your fellow Swimrunners as they train all over the world.</p><p><strong>This Week in Swimrun (Powered by</strong><a href="https://raceid.com/en/"><strong> Raceid.com</strong></a><strong>)</strong></p><p>We have a couple of updates to share this week.</p><p><a href="https://torpedoswimrun.com/cape/">Torpedo Swimrun</a> held their Cape race over the weekend in Cape Town, South Africa.
