HAYATZ a.k.a. HYZ. He’s been a friend since even before LTBz was a thing and we really appreciate his support. HYZ is also on a new Swimrun journey as he trains up for his first race at Orcas Island and second event at <a href="https://otilloswimrun.com/race_category/catalina/">ÖTILLÖ Catalina</a>. HYZ is also responsible for inspiring us to create the Feats of Endurance segment after he ran around his block covering 50 miles to raise funds for the non-profit <a href="https://www.keenusa.org/">KEEN USA</a>.</p><p>Feats of Endurance</p><p>We have two winners this week. The Swimrun team of Mel Bartow and <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/andy-hewitt">Andy Hewitt</a> swam around Coronado in San Diego in a cool 4h 53m covering some 21,000yds. Why?
