This was a fun conversation with two amazing women trying to do their part to grow the sport of Swimrun in the UK.</p><p>More on this interview later in the show.</p><p><strong>Shoutouts</strong></p><p>This week we’re shouting out Amanda Gorman. If you don’t know who she is, Amanda quickly rose to international fame after reading a poem that she wrote at last week’s inauguration that stole the show. It was amazing and we think that everyone should check it out if you need some inspiration. The poem is called “The Hill We Climb” and you can watch and listen to it <a href="https://youtu.be/Wz4YuEvJ3y4">here</a>.</p><p><strong>Adventure Time/Training Updates</strong></p><p>We’re keeping on keeping on with training as we try to figure out what our race calendar might look like for the Spring. (Spoiler Alert: it’s TBD) We also have an atmospheric river hitting us this week so that should be interesting.</p><p><strong>Feats of Endurance</strong></p><p>This week’s Feats of Endurance honoree is Leticia Wirth of Porto Alegre Brazil. She’s been putting in around 37,000 yards of swimming per week while also running a ton.
