Freaking great experience
Hi. Tried this and wondering how you avoid having the cord pull through the buoy? Followed your instructions but seems my cord is going to eventually pull all the way out. I have a picture but not able to upload it here but hopefully you know what I mean. Thank you.
Do you mean you feel the cord will cut through the buoy? This can be common and you might want to reinforce the area with some high strength tape. We like the Gorilla Tape. Wrap that around once or twice and repoke the hole. Hope that helps.
Thanks guys ! Definitely need to try the VJ at some point. Thanks also for the good Instagram plan for the Terrex I bought a new pair ;-). I love my french made 🙂 Millet Intense trail running shoes and will certainly try them for NC.
Good stuff fellas
Thanks for the many tips! I thought nutrition wouldn't be an issue for me because of the short distances I can manage. But especially on hot days in a wetsuit I sweat a lot more than I thought, so I got cramps and felt sick. So these tips have come at just the right time!
Sounds like practicing with some more fueling even in the shorter races could be helpful! Thanks for the comment and see you out there!
My quads are still destroyed from the last run lol Great race review guys and great to meet you!!
That last run was a doozie!
are there any wide toe box swim run shoe recommendations?
The best place to start would be with the trail shoes that work for you. Altras have wider toe box and you might check out wide versions of shoes.
Any specific altras that are good in the water while that drain well when coming out?
@@shanadagnysiap Most of the Altras seem to be pretty safe from a swimrun pov.
Not sure why my first thought was to grab my power drill 🤣
The drill is too much power! 😂 screwdriver will work just fine.
Plus on Uto or Orno you can hope the local residents are still there with their hoses 😂
I have listened to your podcast for over a year and love it. My whole family enjoys Otillo racing, and last year in June my wife, two kids and I raced Uto. I never knew what you both looked like until today when I viewed the RUclips version. It is great to finally match a face to a voice. It is funny how you develop a concept of what someone looks like and then reality is different. Not a bad thing - just not what I expected. Keep up the great podcast!
😂 we have heard that before. Thanks for being a longtime listener and glad you have the bug as well! Hope to see you out there sometime soon.
Hi! I'm new to swimrun and from what I heard in this podcast I wondered if I could use a trisuit for a simrun race in warm waters. It's definitely very comfortable for running and the fabrics are also hydrophobic. Maybe more water is going to come in into the suit but, it's also true that in the races a "bib shirt" has to be worn over the wetsuit, which I guess isn't very hydrodynamic... Just to know what you think about it. Thank you!
Great question! A tri suit/swim skin is a good place to start especially if you don’t want to drop any extra money. We would recommend that you do get a pull buoy to help with the flotation and better body position in the water.
What’s water temp look like the last 2 years? Seems mixed on info. Odysseys says 60… online databases says average is 67 in November (with minimum at 64). I’ll be racing this year!
It is a great race and you will have a blast! We would guess water temps would be low to mid 60s. With the warmer air temps the swims will be very refreshing.
@@lowtideboyz love it. Pretty well tolerant to low 60s so the Vigg it is! Will y’all be there this year?
Fika-side chat
Great suggestion!
Another thought here. Wool socks also work great. I for one use Farm 2 Feet ones. Also I recommend a bucket big enough to actually stand in with shoes and socks and then go running. Or find a creek along the way
Good tips on both accounts! Stand in a creek then take off running and see how it feels. Perfect swimrun simulation.
Solid seo play.🎉
See you guys in Bellingham, great show as usual!
Thanks Dan! See you in Bellingham and be sure to say hi.
We are in our second day of Swimrun in Sardinia Italy. Discovering and enjoying, albeit with cold weather, these beautiful beaches. We are definitely not ready for an Otillo. Maybe next year!
Keep enjoying it and hope to see you out there soon!
We have this model. Super satisfied with it so far. Love how flexible it is at the legs and shoulders and that you can easily unzip it. Also the pockets as you say. You can easily put your gear away while you run.
Totally agree!
Not many people outside of Austin Texas know about this psychedelic band 😅😂
I am an ultra runner so running is a lock for me. I am comfortable in the water and have spent hundreds of hours free diving, but I am not a competitive swimmer. I am basically a beginner when it comes to freestyle/crawl swimming for distance. I've got over eight months until my race, how would you counsel someone in my position? Do you have videos you like for runners learning to swim for SwimRun?
Hi Chris! That's a great question. Our take on it so to just start swimming and be consistent over the eight months that you have before your race and get more specific in terms of race pace/distances/etc. as you get closer. If you feel like you need swim instruction, seek a local masters swim program or tri club that can help with technique. I wouldn't worry too much about using paddles and pull buoys until you've been swimming consistently for a few months. Better to build up slowly and work on your form/technique before doing anything Swimrun-specific. See you out there!
We got this last year, and for the Mediterranean, it's just perfect. In fact, it might even be too hot for the runs, after June and before September. Like the review says, it's a very capable Swimrun Gear.
Glad you had a good experience with the suit as well. A solid all arounder for sure.
GREAT episode! Thanks LTBz, Lars and Dominic❤ Lisa and Paul Martin
I wish all participants a great race! 🏃♀️🏊
Hey guys, I'll be taking part in my first Swim Run on the GC, Australia later this year. Will a standard pull buoy do the trick as there aren't really any larger buoys/swim run specific pull buoys available here yet? Cheers.
Great question. If you can’t find a mondo pull buoy you can glue two standard ones together. That is how it used to be done before the big ones existed. Let us know how it goes!
you guys should make more swimrun videos than audio podcasts...I`d watch em...especially after my daily morning swimrun routine.
Thanks! Do as much video as we can. What videos do you want to see next?
Loved this episode 🙌🏻
Nice work!
good shi boiz. hope to make it to this race one day!
Have you ever used Rapha cycling socks for swimrun?
We haven’t tested those specific socks, but if they aren’t wool you should test them out. We would guess they would work just fine. Some performance style sock will work.
I asked because Vivobarefoot uses those Rapha socks in their Hydra ESC marketing material, also ARK Sports ones.@@lowtideboyz
hello folks-thank you very much for this in-depth discussion. do you think these would be appropriate for a universal travel shoe for active wanderers that like to pack light? for ex hiking and fording rivers, ocean swimming and just walking about town (on pavement and given aesthetics)? To be clear, I'm not much of a runner so the swim-run pairing isnt exactly what I am looking for, though I typically wear barefoot shoes so that aspect isn't an issue for me.
Thanks for the comment! These shoes would be amazing for your travel adventures. Any activity involving water is where these will really shine through and dry quickly. Let us know how you like them.
Great video! I will after a year Lasso-mount, switch back to the simple mount. I just couldn't get the coordination to work as well with the lasso mount as I did with the simple mount. I didn't think you could waste so much time transitioning when you are struggling with your pull buoy
Glad you liked the video! The simple mount really is the way to go!
You guys coming to the Orcas Island race?
We won't make it to Orcas this year, but we will be back at some point! Amazing race and experience.
@lowtideboyz bummer, would have been cool to meet you guys. It's my first race. I appreciate all the great videos and advice you guys give. It's a huge help.
@@ronallred7471 We will just have to catch you at the next one :) Glad you are finding the content useful!
Um.... Little Diamond Island? Google maps and pdf has it in. The Course preview brief skipped it... says we do the pier jump from Great Diamond and swim to Peaks. Clarification?
Always default to the race site! Sorry for the confusion.
@@lowtideboyz Thanks... see you there. BTW... swimrun virgin, signed up for long course. Think I'm in for a long day... hope we make the time cutoffs!
@@BuildFriendly You are gonna have a blast! Be sure to come by the shakeout on Sat and say hi!
Far too much equipment, keep the sport simple !
Thanks for the comment. This is just our reco on equipment to have a great swimrun experience and feel free to adjust based on what you need! See ya out there.
Great analysis! I bought a pair out of fomo cos they were selling out fast However, not sure if theyre for me, as I primarily wanted trail shoes, where you might want something with a little bit of waterproof due to long wet grass and marshes However I'm giving them a chance due to the long return window, and I need some protection for river swimming Do you have any recommendations for socks? Also, would you use these in conjunction with a wet suit when swimming in like, 5.9 degrees C sea water, or would you need a wet suit like sock with it?
We have been using knee high Swiftwick socks that have some light compression. CEP also makes good socks from our experience. The socks have been enough for us, but we havent swam in too much 6 degree water, so you will have to experiment with that and let us know!
Bought those and re-sold them after just 2 runs (20km). Somehow there was a lot of force and friction on my ankles on each step that created nasty wounds. I wasn't able to run for a month due to it and had to wear flip-fops to heal. And yes, I tried them in the store and tried one size up and down, before settling on the "right" one for me. Quite disappointing experience. Did you had a chance to try them out properly?
Ouch! That doesn't sound like fun at all. We did give them a full testing and had the girls from the Swimrun Labs also test them out and we didnt get any of the nasty wounds that you had. What socks did you use?
in which store did you try them out?
Chip, thanks so much for this! I tried my new Korp for the first time in the pool today...and then spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to wiggle out of the damn thing. This video solves all of those questions.
Tom! Thanks for checking out the video. Glad the video helped you out. The Korp is a great suit. See ya out there!
Doesn't the knot start to rub the thigh after a while?
We never have had any thigh rubbing with this setup.
I don't see why anyone who's trying to swim fast would want a pull buoy.
The buoy helps negate the drag from swimming with your shoes. Helps get your body in a better position to help swim more streamlined. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!
The Gear check comes just at the right time. I recently wanted to buy the Esc Tempest, but there is no longer in Germany in my size. I am super excited how your conclusion turns out!
We just dropped the full review episode. Let us know how you get on with those Vivos!
Gotta get those videos in while Chris's ink looks so fresh and new.
Great video! So, you're saying the mount is going to be, uh, simple?
You are a quick study Tom!
Great episode guys
Great job in Sweden! 🙂
Thanks John!
How do they performe in/out of water. Draining etc? Weight?
We have done several hours of swimrun and no issues on the draining or weight aspect. They Ultra 2 has a better insole so less absorption there as well.
🙌🏻 you guys are too kind. Super stoked for Austin and absolutely doing the Long Course!
Can't wait! See you there Alex!
thanks for this. Is there an actual course map ? couldnt find one...
Thanks for the comment! There isnt a static one like in years past, but there is this cool Google Maps version: www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1tBzz9x6g6HEG_yqOPEtT_KdPDv78TGKH&ll=43.684362693044875%2C-70.18296194999999&z=12
Listening to your podcast of this with my husband Adrian Cameron and your guess of what a group of jellyfish are called had me looking it up. Turns out a group of jellyfish is called a "smack" which totally describes how you feel after being stung.
A smack of jellyfish! Today we learned :)
Choice of sock is definitely my biggest question. How do you not get serious blistering issues?
Wear your favorite well fitting athletic socks and you won't have any issues with blisters. For some reason blisters are pretty much a non issue with swimrun. We both love the Swiftwick socks.
I still have a question. Do you also land in Germany? I would be happy about an autograph 😅
