Team Swimrun Mermaids

<p>Welcome to episode forty-eight of the <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/">Low Tide Boyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>We have a great interview this week. In this episode, we take you to the South of France to talk with Laurene William and Irina Kondratieva of Team Swimrun Mermaids and organizers of the Mermaids Swimrun Club. This conversation was a lot of fun and we’ll talk more about that later in the show.</p><p><strong>Adventure Time!</strong></p><p>We took a week off from planning this week due to Thanksgiving but we weren’t totally unproductive. After several months of compiling emails, we are super stoked to announce that our <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/international-swimrun-guide">International Swimrun Adventure Guide</a> is finally live! This is a living document so keep sending us your suggestions for Swimrun locations to include in the guide.</p><p><strong>Shoutouts</strong></p><p>This week we’re shouting out Anders Nyberg from Sweden. He participated in the Hellas Frostbite Swimrun over the weekend and when we commented on his Strava post, his reply was a true classic: “a bit nippy!” You wouldn’t catch us in that cold water but it gave us plenty of meme ideas so for that we thank you Anders!</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>The <a href="https://raceid.com/en/races/7361/about">Champions Christmas Challenge</a> is in full swing.
