Throwback Mix Tape: Orcas Island Race Report 2021

About this episode

The episode revisits the 2021 Orcas Island race report, highlighting the challenges and community spirit of the event.

Welcome to episode 334 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! It is race week at Orcas Island, and we are going back to the vault. Episode 334 is Throwback Mixtape 5 — a re-release of our 2021 Orcas Island race report from Episode 91. This race is one of the chapters in the book of the LTBz. Chipper showed up banged up from a fall, bonked hard somewhere in the middle of the course, and spent the better part of four hours getting dragged around one of the most brutal swimrun courses in the US by Chris. This is one of the races we are most proud of. The course is savage. The community was incredible. The pizza after was legendary.
