Fanny Kuhn

Welcome to episode thirty-one of the Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast!

On the show this week we have our first repeat guest, Ötillö World Champion Fanny Kuhn. We chatted with her about her experience post-Catalina and how she dealt with the shelter in place restrictions in Barcelona. More on the interview later in the show.

Training Update

We are still training for something—not sure what yet—but we had another Swimrun practice over the weekend and we’ll be doing another Swimrun adventure soon.

Shoutouts

This we’re shouting out Vicky. She’s in our Low Tide Boyz Strava Club and a fan of the show. She recently found out that she shares one of her favorite movies, The Big Blue, with Chris after listening to our interview with Journalist and Writer Adam Skolnick.

Bonus shout out to the Ötillö Hype Video crew for their latest opus: the 2020 Engadin Recap Movie. If that doesn’t make you want to go to Silvaplana, then we don’t know what will. If you want to learn more about the Engadin course, check out our Course Preview episode to get all the details!

Feats of Endurance Weekly Award

We are giving our feats of endurance award this week to Neil Copper. He’s been putting in a ton of work so we wanted to give him the ole’ tip of the cap.

By the way, we’ve finally ordered the bumper stickers! We’ll be reaching out to our past winners to get mailing address and get these in the mail for everybody.

LTBz Updates

Check out our latest gear review on our newly re-named “Gear Talk” show with Swimrun Labs. This week we do a deep dive into the Ark Sports ORNÖ 02 Swimrun wetsuit. Check it out wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Our new project, the International Swimrun Adventure Guide, is up and running and we got our first submission from all the way from Germany! If you have a great training route that you don’t want to keep secret you can head over to our website and fill out the form on our homepage and we’ll start compiling the entries and getting them listed on the site.

In other news, we didn’t come up with any new projects this week! That’s a first for us.

Fanny Kuhn Interview

Our guest this week is Fanny Kuhn. She’s the reigning Ötillö World Championship and one of our favorite humans. We previously chatted with her about her organization Wild Swimrun with her co-founder Mia and we’re stoked to have her back as our first repeat guest.

In this interview, we wanted to chat with Fanny about how her life changed when she returned home to Barcelona after racing Ötillö Catalina and COVID-19 changed the course of everyone’s lives. She opened up about how she dealt with being in quarantine for three straight months, losing her world-class fitness and deciding to take time off from Swimrun (she had made the hard decision to not race the World Championship before it was cancelled.) We also talked about how she gained a new perspective for her training and maintaining balance in her life.

This was a deep interview that touched on a lot of topics and it just confirmed to us how great we think Fanny is and why she’s such a great ambassador for Swimrun. You can follow Fanny on Instagram here and learn more about her organization Wild Swimrun here.
