Countdown to ÖTILLÖ: 5 Months Out

<p>Welcome to episode 118 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swiun Podcast!</a></p><p>We have a new show format for everyone this week. Welcome to our new “Countdown to ÖTILLÖ” show where we will be discussing our journey to the start line of the 2022 <a href="https://otilloswimrun.com/race/otillo-swimrun-world-championship/">ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship</a> in September. Joining us on this episode is two-time ÖTILLÖ finisher Anna Lundberg who give us a her perspective on the race from the middle of the pack and three-time finisher (and walking knowledge bomb) <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/andy-blow-co-founder-precision-hydration">Andy Blow</a>, Co-founder of <a href="https://www.precisionhydration.com/us/en/">Precision Fuel and Hydration</a>, who shares with us a roadmap for training our “gut” for the big dance.</p><p><strong>How’s the Body? How’s the Mind?</strong></p><p>When we started this show in 2020 our thought was to help grow the sport but also share our journey. I’m that spirit, we figured we might as well put it all out there now that we have a chance to race what is going to be one of the craziest events that we’ve ever done. </p><p>ÖTILLÖ is a quest. It really feels like such a privilege to have the chance to race the original Swimrun. This is a quest that many have taken and it’s going to be a thrill to experience all of it.</p><p>Sitting here 5 months out, we’re both feeling super motivated both from a training and team perspective. We are trying to keep in focus that we want to be as prepared as we possibly can for ÖTILLÖ so that when the event takes place, we can have as much fun as possible out there in the Archipelago.</p><p><strong>Rich Roll’s 2017 ÖTILLÖ Experience</strong></p><p>We recently re-listened to Rich Roll’s race report <a href="https://www.richroll.com/podcast/otillo/">podcast</a> from his 2017 race with coach Chris Hauth. It was really interesting to hear about his journey and definitely got us stoked for our forthcoming adventure. </p
