Transcape Swimrun Race Recap w/Team Tethered Since Birth

<p>Welcome to episode 171 of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>On this week’s show we go “down under” for a race recap of this year’s <a href="https://www.soletrails.com.au/">Transcape Swimrun</a>. Joining us on this walkabout are special guests Fatima and Roxan Maestro, A.K.A., Team Tethered Since Birth. Fatima and Roxan are twin sisters, great humans, and super stoked on Swimrun so when we saw that they raced the event on Strava, we knew we had to get them on the show to get their race report. The event took place on March 11, 2023 and they share all the sights, stings, and sounds of their experience in Western Australia.</p><p>But first…</p><p>Training Update</p><p>Training is in full swing and the “work” is getting done.</p><p>Unfortunately, it’s looking like Sunriver Swimrun won’t be happening due to…wait for it…permitting issues, so we will be refocusing on Casco Bay in July and will be engaging in random feats of endurance before then to get ready.</p><p>Shoutout</p><p>This week’s shoutout goes to Mario Fraioli (previous guest on <a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/podcast/mario-fraioli">Episode 30</a> of the show) and Dr. Justin Ross. Mario recently had Dr. Ross, a sport psychologist on his podcast, <a href="https://themorningshakeout.com/episode-221-dr-justin-ross-on-playing-the-mental-game-as-a-runner/">the morning shakeout</a>, and we highly recommend that folks check out that episode which was all about mental training as a key component of physical training. Solid gold stuff!</p><p>Wisdom Nugget of the Week</p><p>“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” - Aristotle</p><p>Feats of Endurance</p><p>This week’s winner is Marvin Mitschulat for posting an epic looking skiing day on the slopes of St. Anton am Alberg in Austria. We’re not skiers but 33 miles of skiing in 15 runs seems pretty epic to us!</p><p>Make sure to sign up for our LTBz <a href="https://www.strava.com/clubs/lowtideboyz">Strava Club</a> an
