<p>Welcome to episode seventy-one of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Low Tide Boyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>This episode is the latest installment in our ad hoc series: Swimrun 201-Advanced Topics in Swimrun. On this show we discuss in detail the concept of “Heads Up Racing.” Prepare for some knowledge bombs, but first....</p><p><strong>Training Update</strong></p><p>Chris was out of town for work this past weekend so we didn’t get a Swimrun practice in but our training for <a href="https://www.odysseyswimrun.com/casco">Ödyssey Swimrun Casco Bay</a> has officially begun. We will be ramping up our joint training sessions and look forward to sharing our progress (such as it is) with you. Now that we are training, we are going to start working on dialing in all of the key phases of racing to make sure that we’re as ready as we can be. </p><p>On that note, it’s time for our first knowledge bomb of the show!
