Swimrun Lake James 2022 Race Report

<p>Welcome to episode 121 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>We’ve got our first race report of 2022 to share with everyone this week! We just got back from <a href="https://www.trisignup.com/Race/NC/Nebo/SwimRunNCLakeJames">Swimrun Lake James</a> in North Carolina and we’re super stoked to share all the details of our latest Swimrun adventure. (Spoiler alert: we had a blast!)</p><p>It was great to meet so many Swimrunners at the LTBz/Wild Swimrun shakeout and at the pre-race briefing. We tried to remember everyone’s names and we apologize if we missed you in our shoutouts.</p><p>Swimrun Lake James certainly lived up to the hype and the unexpected warm weather made it for a pretty straight forward race experience. We went into the race with the plan of focusing on nutrition, pacing well, and having fun. We achieved all three! </p><p>We ended up finishing in 3:38:29 which was good for 4th place men's team and 5th overall behind Bronwen and Greg Dierksen of the <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/boston-wet-sox">Boston Wetsox</a> who won overall, <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/marcus-barton">Marcus Barton</a> and <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/otillo-catalina-course-preview-2-swimrun-gear-team-baywatch">Kawika Tarayao</a>, Caleb Batey and Joe Day, and <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/swimrun-lake-james-2021-race-recap-with-special-guests-the-swaggy-zaddys">Lee Greene</a> and Jay Seymoure. We were 4ish minutes behind Lee’s team which was a surprise to us.</p><p>We are super stoked with our race execution/result and the progress that we have made during our first training block. There are a lot of people to thank for all that progress and you know who you are. Up next for us is <a href="https://www.odysseyswimrun.com/casco">Ödyssey Swimrun Casco Bay</a> in July.
