On the show we have Thomas Ogander, the mastermind behind the <a href="https://onewaterrace.com/">One Water Race</a>, who joins us to share the story of, what is sure to be, one of the toughest endurance events in the world. Make sure you’re sitting down for this one!</p><p>But first... </p><p><strong>Training Update</strong></p><p>This is the final “our off-season is almost over” update because starting next week we’re back to training for <a href="https://otilloswimrun.com/race_category/catalina/">ÖTILLÖ Catalina</a> and <a href="https://www.trisignup.com/Race/NC/Nebo/SwimRunNCLakeJames">Swimrun Lake James</a>.</p><p><strong>Shoutouts</strong></p><p>This week we’re shouting out to our four new Patrons on Patreon: Lee, Helene, Lindsey, and Amy.

You might know him as the Race Director of Ödyssey Swimrun, but what you might not know about Lars is that he’s capable of just casually dropping a 10,000yd swim in just under 2.5 hours on Christmas Eve like it’s nobody’s business.
