Countdown to ÖTILLÖ: 4 Months Out

Welcome to episode 122 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swiun Podcast!

Welcome to the second edition of our “Countdown to ÖTILLÖ” show where we will be discussing our journey to the start line of the 2022 ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship in September. Joining us on this episode are The Swimrun Monks to catch up and talk ÖTILLÖ preparations and Susie Moonan of Push On Coaching to help us prepare mentally for the big day.

How’s the Body? How’s the Mind?

We are both still feeling super motivated and encouraged after a strong showing at Swimrun Lake James a few weeks back. Our communication has been really dialed and we are both feeling like our teamwork is getting to the next level.

Our next training block is already upon us as we ramp up the volume and intensity on our way to Ödyssey Swimrun Casco Bay in July.

The Swimrun Monks

It was great to have Sean and Philip back on the show (for the third time) to chat about their World Championship experiences. Right after we found out that we qualified, Philip reached out to tell us that there were things that we needed to know. We are grateful for their friendship and their advice for us as we barrel towards September.

Susie Moonan, Push On Coaching

What can we say about Susie Moonan? Every time we chat with her we feel like we have gained a better perspective of racing. She joined us to talk about how to think about approaching a race like the World Championship and have a clear vision of our values going into the race and how to deal when those values are tested when things get tough. She is a wellspring of knowledge and we feel super lucky to have her share her insights with us.
