Podcasts about Neoprene

I've reviewed a ton of health and wellness gear over the years — some of it genuinely helpful, and some of it so absurd that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. So in this episode, I'm doing something a little different: I'm walking you through the most useless health gadgets I've come across lately. Not just things I wouldn't recommend, but things I think you should actively avoid. We're talking Bluetooth forks that vibrate when you eat too fast. AI smoothie machines with subscription pods. Mood-tracking wearables that flash colors. And yes, cold plunge shorts… designed to make the cold plunge feel less cold.  Because apparently the problem with cold therapy is that it's uncomfortable. These devices don't just waste your money, they also waste your intuition. They pull you further away from your own body's feedback by outsourcing basic instincts to tech: when to eat, when to drink, how fast to chew, even how you feel.  And to be honest, the idea that we need electronics to tell us these things is just… sad. We've gotten so out of touch that we now rely on apps to remind us to drink water and gadgets to track how salty something tastes. Health doesn't require tech to micromanage every moment of your day. In fact, most of these gadgets just add EMFs, microplastics and confusion to your life.  So in this episode, I'm calling out the worst offenders — not to shame anyone who's tried them, but to remind you that the best solutions are usually simple, grounded, and entirely free.  Let me know which ones you've seen (or bought!) that made you raise an eyebrow. I'd love to hear what's on your list.

BashTech Radio 78 with Materielle Bio: Materielle is a Los Angeles-based techno artist whose deep, dub-driven sound draws heavily from the rhythmic syncopations and atmospheric textures of 90s Detroit techno. Fusing elements of heavy, hypnotic basslines with intricate patterns and immersive reverb, Materielle's music taps into the raw energy and experimental edge of underground techno, with an emphasis on subtle detail and emotional depth. A self-taught producer with a decade-long career in music technology, Materielle has cultivated a distinctive sonic palette shaped by the teachings of pioneering artists like Rødhåd, Claudio PRC, and Richie Hawtin. The project's name, Materielle, is inspired by the delicate art of weaving—an analogy for the artist's approach to music, where sound is crafted through layers and textures, much like fabrics are woven together to create something new. Since 2019, Materielle has honed her craft as a DJ, transitioning seamlessly into production with her track singles, Satin and Organza on Delusional Records and the release of her debut EP, Fabrique on Northern Parallels. The EP, which features the tracks Nylon and Neoprene, with remixes from Mike Derer and Raytek, has garnered attention for its unique blend of hypnotic grooves and emotionally charged atmospherics. Materielle's recent release, a remix of Orly Gal's track, The Man Without a Face, was chosen by Beatport for their November 2024 Techno Shortlist (peak/driving), further solidifying her growing presence in the techno scene. In early 2025, she contributed the track Kevlar to the Synthetik Minds VA Compilation, a benefit release supporting Los Angeles fire relief efforts. The compilation features a lineup of major artists from across the global techno scene, underscoring Materielle's commitment to both artistic collaboration and community impact. Through her work, Materielle invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of intricate sound design, where the boundaries between space and rhythm blur, creating a meditative yet driving experience. With an approach rooted in both technology and art, Materielle continues to explore the intersection of sound, texture, and human emotion within the ever-evolving techno landscape. Materielle has played LA Compound, Re/Form, SXTCY, Bang Bang SD, Techno Taco Tuesday Las Vegas, and various LA undergrounds. She has supported Daria Kolosova, Ryan Elliott, Lindsey Herbert, Annika Wolfe, and Nur Jaber.

Hello and welcome to WGSN's fortnightly Create Tomorrow podcast, bringing you the latest innovations impacting the future of design and product. Surfer, filmmaker, and journalist Chris Nelson joins WGSN Editorial Director Bethan Ryder to discuss his documentary 'The Big Sea'. In this episode, we dive into the big sea a new documentary exploring the connection between the $10b surfing industry and Cancer Alley in Louisiana in the US. Cancer Alley is a region along the Mississippi River in Louisiana with many factories and chemical plants. The pollution from these plants has made the air and water unhealthy, causing high rates of cancer and other illnesses among the residentsThe documentary sheds light on the toxic truth behind a single material - Neoprene a material used to make swimsuits. Chris and Bethan discuss greenwashing and more about the film because it demonstrates the crucial role designers and brands can and must play in creating a better future for people and the planet.

Andrew Lewin interviews Chris Nelson and Lewis, two surfers and filmmakers, about the impact of the surfing industry on the environment. They discuss the evolution of the surfing industry, the challenges it faces in aligning with environmental values, and the need for more sustainable practices. They also highlight the role of smaller, more environmentally conscious brands in filling the gap left by larger, mainstream brands. The conversation touches on the use of petrochemicals in surfboards and wetsuits, the environmental impact of travel for surfing, and the need for greater awareness and action within the surfing community. The documentary film explores the environmental and health impacts of neoprene production in Cancer Alley, a predominantly black community in the deep south. The film highlights the historic layers of environmental racism and the increased cancer risk faced by the community. It also exposes the complicity of the surf industry in supporting the petrochemical company responsible for the pollution. The filmmakers aim to raise awareness and drive consumer-driven change by promoting the use of natural rubber as an alternative to neoprene. The film is currently in post-production and will be released soon. Film Website: https://thebigsea.org/ Instagram:  Film: https://www.instagram.com/thebigseaorg/ Lewis Arnold: https://www.instagram.com/lasurfpics/ Chris Nelson: https://www.instagram.com/approachinglines/ Takeaways The surfing industry has evolved over time, with larger mainstream brands giving way to smaller, more environmentally conscious brands. Surfers have a deep connection to the environment and are increasingly aware of the impact of the industry on the oceans and the planet. The use of petrochemicals in surfboards and wetsuits, as well as the carbon footprint of travel for surfing, are major environmental concerns. There is a need for greater awareness and action within the surfing community to promote sustainability and protect the oceans. The documentary 'The Big C' sheds light on the dark side of the surfing industry and aims to inspire change and promote more sustainable practices. The film exposes the environmental and health impacts of neoprene production in Cancer Alley, a predominantly black community in the deep south. It highlights the historic layers of environmental racism and the increased cancer risk faced by the community.

#157 Guerreiros de Neoprene

Nikki Van Dijk was a major threat on the women's Championship Tour. Her best season on tour was in 2017 where she reached No. 7 on the Leaderboard after claiming her first CT victory at the Cascais Women's Pro in Portugal. Her style is smooth rail surfing shaped by her years of honing her approach on Phillip Island, a remote little enclave that's a day trip away from Melbourne, Australia.She inherited her passion and froth for surfing from her surf-crazed dad. In 2012, during her final year of school she raced off to Bali just before final exams to clinch the World Junior Championship and then later joined the Tour in 2014. After years spent with her main sponsor Rip Curl she left them to partner with WALLIEN Wetsuits as an Ambassador where she has gone on to co-create an exclusive collection of high-performance wetsuits with a focus on optimal comfort, style and environmental mindfulness. We were fortunate enough to meet Nikki while she is in NYC for the UN General Assembly NY Climate Week where she was on a panel with former guest of the Show Chris Nelson to discuss the film The Big Sea, the investigative documentary exposing the hidden links to cancer Alley in Louisana and the wetsuit worlds toxic addiction to neoprene. Nikki was here in our studio in Rockefellar Center and we were stoked to welcome her on to our show.

“Well, you're not hardcore unless you live hardcore,” sang Jack Black in “School of Rock.” In this episode, taking a cue from our pal Jack, we tackle core-ness: What does it mean to be core? Why do we care if we're perceived as hardcore or not? Does it signify anything?  In Book Club, Stephen Casimiro takes us on a trip through Diane Cook's The New Wilderness. It's a semi-post-apocalyptic tale of a group of people chosen to live in the last stretch of wilderness in the country, as urban civilization decays. Post-apocalyptic mindbenders are catnip for Stephen, and maybe this one will be for you too.  In a trip to the Gear Shed, Justin Housman talks up Patagonia's new line of neoprene-free wetsuits. Even if you don't surf, it's a fascinating look at how Patagonia is trying to clean up the toxic wetsuit industry, a business that is surprisingly dirty. Plus, it's just a great wetsuit.  All that and more general outdoor talk goodness.

What do neoprene  wetsuits have to do with Cancer Alley ? The global wetsuit industry is valued at around $2.8 Billion USD."The vast majority of wetsuits on sale today are made of a synthetic rubber called Neoprene. Neoprene – the commercial name for chloroprene rubber – is the product of a toxic, carcinogenic chemical process.There is only one chloroprene plant in the US. It is owned by Japanese chemical company Denka and lies in the predominantly black, low income town of Reserve, Louisiana – in the heart of an area known as Cancer Alley. Rising from the site of a former plantation, the Denka chloroprene plant casts a long shadow over St John's Parish.No home in the community around the plant has been untouched by cancer. It has the highest cancer risk in the USA – 50 TIMES the national average. The EPA acknowledges the high cancer risk is due to chloroprene emissions from the plant."In their forthcoming film The Big Sea, Lewis Arnold and Chris Nelson take us to Cancer Alley in Louisiana to hear from local activists who have spent decades fighting for the health and safety of their community. The Big Sea is an exploration of the toxic nature of wetsuits, the true human cost of Neoprene production and surfing's links to Cancer Alley. Learn more: TheBigSea.org…Listen with Lauren L.

Can you live with the true cost of a Neoprene wetsuit?That is the question being asked by guests Lewis Arnold and Chris Nelson. Filmmakers who explore this question in their documentary The Big Sea. Surfing is a $10 billion global industry – built on the dream of carefree spirits, crystal clear waters and an even clearer connection to the natural world – has never been more popular. Surfing has posed as a champion of environmental issues. But there is a dirty secret… and people are dying. Lewis Arnold and writer Chris Nelson have followed the story from the communities of Cancer Alley in Louisiana, through to the wave rich beaches of California, to the heart of the surf industry and beyond.Through speaking with surf brands, industry leaders, surfers, cultural commentators and environmental campaigners, they ask: “Can you live with the true cost of a Neoprene wetsuit?” and, “Will surfing lead the charge of the outdoors industry and beyond, away from Neoprene, to a more viable alternative?”The Big Sea is a fully independent documentary that was filmed over three years in the USA, Australia, France, Spain, UK and Ireland.

Last week Bill and I were getting geared up for El Tour de Tucson and Ironman Arizona. Today we are going to give a first-hand report on the pro races at Ironman Arizona and do a recap of El Tour de Tucson.   Show Sponsor: UCAN Generation UCAN has a full line of nutrition products to fuel your sport. UCAN uses SuperStarch instead of simple sugars and stimulants to fuel athletes.  UCAN keeps blood sugar steady compared to the energy spikes and crashes of sugar-based products. UCAN also has hydration products focused on giving you the sodium you need when hydrating, including several clean and light flavors.

The most common cause seemed to be hypothermia or simply being too uncomfortable in cold water to push through. The water temperature was a cool 60.8 degrees (mandatory wetsuit) and I admit that's approaching my limit for comfort.   Tips to Avoid Swim DNF: Be a good swimmer. If you are swimming the Ironman distance you should be swimming at least 10K per week and preferably 15-20K. Your longest swim should be around 5K (longer than the 4.2K of IM). Cold water exposure in the two weeks leading up to the race. This can be ice baths at home or properly supported cold open water with or without wetsuit as appropriate to be exposed to very cold water. Have a good fitting long-sleeve wetsuit with a 5mm or thermal jersey Neoprene cap that fits snugly but doesn't constrict airway (optional double cap) Booties allowed at 65 degrees or colder Vaseline for your face   Bike: The two issues I observed this weekend were mounting and mechanical. Since this was Ironman and most people have their shoes on coming out of the changing tent, not to mention the soft grass surface of the transition area, most do not have the flying mount problem where you can't get your feet in the already clipped in shoes. Most of the near collisions were due to athletes still feeling wobbles from the swim.   One guy had his chain get caught I his rear derailer and he nearly made it worse by trying to ride on it.   Another had a flat the moment he rode out of T1. He had replaced his perfectly fine tubes with brand new ones the day before the race and apparently pinch flatted them. Billy and I helped him fix his flat. Shame.   Tips to Avoid a Bike Mount Disaster: Practice mounts and dismounts Practice change tubes Shake out the bike setup at bike check in If when an issue arises, take a deep breath and slow down   Run: Chaffing - avoidable by using anti chaffing products, testing what you will be wearing on race day during race rehearsals and changing into clean and dry run gear in T2. Dehydration - having practiced your nutrition several times before showing up on race day   News Sponsor Buddy Insurance: Buddy Insurance gives you peace of mind to enjoy your training and racing to the fullest.

For thousands of years, people have thrived in this at-first-glance difficult environment. Its dry and hot reputation, while well deserved in summer hibernates in November and offers the perfect weather to ride or race.  It's this dual purpose that gives this tour a dual personality and makes it unique.   Top racers from around the country (the world really) converge in the desert to compete. Riders can qualify for Platinum status to give them a more favorable starting position and a better shot at winning Tissot watches—no monetary prizes.  Riders choose 32, 63, or 102 miles. Said ride director TJ Juskiewicz, about 500 race and the other 7,000 enjoy a well-supported tour.   The logistics of closing roads and controlling intersections for 7,500 riders to ride or race so many miles during most of the day in a big city is incredible. The winner in the 102-mile race was able to average almost 27 mph thanks to top-notch police support. I took about twice as long and received the same support.   I chose to chat as I do, meet some folks and not bonk on undertrained legs and lungs! I made it in part thanks to my podcast partner and close friend, Rich Soares who pulled me more than I pulled him, by a lot! This tour showcased so many personal missions. Whether it was the couple recently married on their honeymoon ride. Or 7-year-old Ariana who rode all 102 miles in about seven and half hours and set a record as the youngest known person to ride a century. Or, Timothy from the Pueblo Road Warrior team (supported by We Ride 4) rocked the 102 miles in his tennis shoes and smiled the whole way.   The vibe oozes a recipe of seriousness, fun, and gratefulness. The contrast of colorful cyclists streaming through the desert, pecan farms, airplane graveyards, and adobe buildings on sleepy streets made the time pass fast. Aid stations all featured friendly bike valets to hold your bike. Kids from the Optimist club or the Boy Scouts or many other local groups smiled big and made us feel very welcomed. Said Rich Soares, “The volunteers were great ambassadors of Tucson and the friendly bike valets were a nice touch and surprise”   That feeling of gratefulness is not an accident. Said Juskiewicz, “We gave away 550 free bikes to kids and our 50+ non-profit partners raised over $5,000,000 for their charities through the  El Tour partnership.”   Coloradans were all over the place. Executive Director of Team Evergreen, Jen Barbour won her age group, and Pete Piccolo, Executive Director of Bicycle Colorado was 22nd overall in a very competitive field that included Primal Ambassador and Tour de France star Jens Voigt who finished 53rd. Other ex-pro's like George Hincapie, Bob Roll, and Christian VandeVelde joined in the fun and said Juskiewicz, “having the rock star pros there was something that took this year over the top.”   Maybe this tour reflects the native Saguaro cactus more than we know. It takes 75 years for Saguaros to grow “arms” to help for better reproduction and continue to flourish and spread more seeds. They stand tall in the desert and have supported human life for thousands of years.  Less than one in a million seeds germinate for this defining plant only found in this area.   As this tour ages and grows, it attracts more and more cyclists and helps more and more people. Its arms are dreams and a safe harbor for so many charities raising money to spread more seeds and help humanity. As a late-season destination, a challenging well-run ride, a trip to Tucson makes for a nice warm-up to enjoy Thanksgiving week and reflect on what's important.   IRONMAN Arizona 2022 - Pro Race, Age Group Kona Slots, Observations There were reasons to be excited about this pro race. On the women's side you had Sarah True, Skye Moench, Lauren Brandon, Melanie McQuade and others. On the men's side you had 70.3 World Champs 2nd place Ben Kanute taking his first swipe at the full distance. Familiar names like Sam Long, Matt Hansen, Joe Skipper and Bart Aernouts.   Pro Women: Lauren Brandon, Sarah True and Skye Moench were 1, 2 and 3 out of the water. Skye would take Sarah's spot at mile 28. By mile 66 Laruen Brandon dropped back to 3rd with Skye leading the way and Sarah just biding her time. Skye entered T2 about 3 minutes before Sara True and Lauren Branden arrived 2 minutes later. About a mile into the run, Sarah True took the front and held that position the rest of the run. By mile 8, Melanie McQuaid moved up to 3rd, but she would fall back to 6th by then finish. At mile 14 they came through and I was giving the pro women splits. Sarah True held on to 1st, Skye Moench held on to 2nd and Daniel Lewis would finish 3rd.   Pro Men: Andrew Hosfall-Turner was first out of the water with Ben Kanute on his heels. By mile 30, Ben Kanute was in control with Joe Skipper in 3rd, Matt Hanson in 5th and Sam Long in 7th. Billy Edwards and I saw them come through and called out splits. At T2 it was Kristian Hogenhaug in first, followed by Joe Skipper in 2nd, Ben Kanute in 3rd, Sam Long in 4th and Matt Hanson in 5th. My mile 5, Matt has passed Sam and swapped positions. By mile 12 Joe Skipper and Hogenhaug swap positions. Hogenhaug blows at mile 23 and it's now the podium of Joe Skipper Matt Hansen and Ben Kanute in that order.   What's New in the 303: Leaving On A Jet Plane: How To Travel With Your Bike Article and photos by: A.V.

Passengers on American, United and Delta will pay the same amount for a bike as they would for any other piece of checked luggage under 50 pounds — about $30. That's a far cry from the $150 each way to fly with a bike, only a years ago.   International flights typically offer two checked bags per passenger with no additional cost, so the idea of traveling for an international IRONMAN or IM 70.3 is a lot more approachable. And… If you plan on racing, having the bike you trained with is an essential part of being successful.   “Woot, woot, I can travel with my bike,” they thought, until they realized, “Oh wait, I don't know how to pack my bike for travel.”   Fear not, I can show you some pretty simple techniques to keep your “baby” safe on a plane.   If you are my age, I'm sure you remember the 1970's American Tourister luggage commercial with the Gorilla. And if you don't recall, here it is on YouTube:   The point is… baggage handlers typically tend to be a lot less careful than you might want them to be with your bike. So you need to take steps to prepare your bike for travel the best that you can.   For airline travel, there are really two basic categories of luggage to carry a bike — Padded soft case or hard plastic case. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. With a padded soft case, you typically have to disassemble less of the bike, especially on a triathlon bike. But a soft case does not offer as much protection as a rigid case.   With a rigid bike case, your bike has more protection, but more of it needs to be disassembled to fit. A rigid hard case does offer more protection than a padded soft case. In the event of a catastrophic situation, like a very heavy piece of luggage falling from a height or the bike case falling off the luggage carrier, either event will likely damage the bike contained within either type of case.   Sci-Con TSA 3.0 Triathlon Travel Bag " Trico Iron Case Left, Sci-Con Aerocomfort TSA 3.0 Triathlon Travel Bag. Right, Trico Iron Case.   OK, onto packing a bike for travel. In this example I'm packing a Cervelo P5 three in a Sci-Con Aerocomfort 3.0 padded triathlon bag.   Step 1 – Remove the pedals, and wipe the grease off the spindles with a paper towel or shop rag. Don't worry, we are going to pack a bit of bike grease for re-assembly when we get to our destination. I tend not to want to travel with a full tube of grease, rather I like to squirt a small blob into a heavy-duty zip lock bag. It's lighter, and you are less likely to run afoul of any hazardous chemical limits.   Step 2 — Remove bottle cages and other accessories. Wrap them in bubble wrap for protection and storage later in the process. And, while you're at it, remove any CO2  cartridges, as compressed gas of any kind is not allowed on a plane. Be sure to get replacements at your travel destination.   Bottle cages, pedals and rear derailleur ready for removal and padding.   Step 3 — If you don't have access to a bike stand, then it makes the most sense to remove the wheels from the bike and use the alloy cradle of the bag to support the bike for the rest of the procedure. A P5, as well as many tri-bike frames, has horizontal drop outs, so you will need to slide the rear end of the bike into the Frame Defender Armature and then use the quick release at the front to secure the forks.   If your bike uses thru axles, you will need them to secure the bike frame to the armature.   Step 4 — At this point, I like to wrap the frame in closed cell foam to protect the finish from accidental chips or dings. With the popularity of online shopping, you probably have some thin closed cell foam hanging around the house. If not, you might stop by your local bike store to see if they have any leftover foam packing material from in-bound bike shipments. You can also use “bubble wrap,” but I've found it to be less effective than closed-cell foam.   Step 5 — Since the advent of 11-speed drive trains, virtually all road / triathlon groupsets have a “master link” in their chains. A master link is a special link that uses a mechanical connection to connect the chain. With a simple pair of specialized pliers, it's easy to remove the chain and package it in bubble wrap.   While many boxes and bags make chain removal optional. It's my thinking the more you can do to protect the frame from damage, the better. A chain moving around inside a bag or box can really do a number on your bike's paint. Just take it off.   Step 6 — Remove the rear derailleur. On a Shimano Di2 or SRAM AXS, this is a very straightforward procedure. For Di2 you simply unplug the E-Tube wire and use a hex wrench to remove the derailleur. On a SRAM system, simple use a hex wrench and remove the rear derailleur. It is advisable to remove the battery in the case of SRAM AXS as well, prior to placing it in a zip-lock bag and bubble wrapping it.   For Di2, just make sure the shifters and the battery are disconnected to prevent accidental “shifting” during travel from draining your battery.   For a traditional mechanical derailleur, remove the mounting bolt with the appropriate hex wrench, wrap the derailleur in bubble wrap and tuck it in-between the chain stays and secure it. Be careful not to kink the cable housing.   Step 7 — Remove the quick release skewers from the wheels and place them in the pockets on the left and right side of the bag.   If your bike uses disc brakes, it's recommended that you remove them prior to packing the bike. I know, it's a pain, but so is a slightly bent disc that is rubbing as the wheel rotates. Most disc wheels are either 6-bolt or center-lock.   If your wheels are 6-bolt, you will likely need a T25 Torx wrench to remove and reinstall them at your destination. And if it is 6-bolt, you may want to bring a few extra bolts just in case 1 or 2 of the T25 heads get stripped during the process.   If your wheels use center-locks, be sure to pack the tools you will need to get them back on.   Step 8 — After you have removed the pedals, chain, rear derailleur, water bottle cages and accessories. Wrap them carefully in bubble wrap and place them in the storage bag that will be placed under the down tup of the frame and secure the bag. This is also a great place to stow the tools you will need to put the bike back together when you arrive at your destination.   Step 9 — Add additional padding to delicate parts of the bike, including the shifters mounted on the aero extensions.  Insert the wheels into the pockets on the left and right of the bag. Be sure to remove your skewers and wrap them in bubble wrap before you stow them in the bag.   Secure the Velcro and other straps and prepare to close the bag. Before you do, it is a good idea to take some pictures of your packing job so there is no question about how the bike was packed in the event there is an incident during travel.   Step 10 — BONUS — If you use an iPhone, then I would highly recommend you place an Apple AirTag somewhere in the bag. This gives you extra piece of mind that your bike has made it on the plane safely. An AirTag is a blue tooth device that can use the location data of any iPhone it encounters to pinpoint the position of your bike.   Your bike arrives in tact, you've taken the time to put it back together and now it's time to rack it and race the next day.   Video of the week: Skip This Week   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it!

Creating a new product to sell on Amazon can be as simple as solving a solution to a problem that you have that doesn't already have a solution. Sean Halpin, the founder of Halpin Solutions, has created many products such as PowerSk8r, DiscTreever, and Putt Anywhere, which have found success on Amazon. Sean discusses his process for creating new products, what you need to know to get on the first page of Amazon, and how best to advertise your products.Takeaways: When promoting your product and brand using ads on sites like Facebook and Google, you should link those ads to your Amazon listing instead of your website. This will lead to better sales and Amazon's algorithm prefers products that bring in traffic to Amazon.Don't be afraid of experimenting with different advertising channels. If your targeting and messaging are specific enough, even print media like magazines can be highly effective.If you are dealing with a problem and there are no solutions available when you search on Google, Bing, etc. you have the opportunity to create a product to solve that problem that other people are likely also facing. When naming a product, you need to be careful with the words that you use, as some may be trademarked and the trademark holder may threaten legal action. If you are considering manufacturing your products in China, you need to work with someone there who can actually walk through the factories and ensure the quality of your products. If your product is very heavy, it may make sense to fulfill the orders yourself, instead of using FBA. However, there are other risks you run by not using Amazon's fulfillment that you have to weigh against the potential cost savings of FBM.Before you can ever even dream that your product could make it to the first page of results on Amazon, you need to have lots of reviews of your products.  Quote of the Show:“Somehow I've been on my own payroll since 1995, and I'm motivated by fear of having to work for somebody else” - Sean HalpinLinks:LinkedInTwitterHalpin Solutions websiteString-light Covers websitePowerSk8r website Shout Outs:Tim Zimmerman - Ice Hockey coachRoute.com - Shipping insurance companyWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTube

A follow up on the discussion of differences between latex and neoprene gaskets - since I don't have access to both a dry and semi-dry suit, I tried comparing dry and semi-dry tops out paddling and surfing, as well as standing in the shower to see if any water would get in one vs the other. While it's not the same as a full suit, it might help as background info for those thinking about calmer or warmer situations where a full dry suit isn't absolutely mandatory.

He started coaching with the United States Cycling Federation (now USA Cycling) in 1990, was the U.S. Men's Road Cycling team coach for the 1992 Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team Head Coach for the 1996 Olympic Games.   In the winter of 1986, Chris suffered a broken femur in a cross-country skiing accident. He raced a shortened season in 1987, but a series of knee surgeries kept him from returning to full strength. In 1988-89, Chris raced domestically in the U.S. for the Schwinn-Wheaties Professional Cycling Team before retiring at the end of the 1989 season.   Chris was the U.S. Men's Road Cycling team coach for the 1992 Olympic Games. He was named the U.S. National Coaching Director and led “Project ‘96”, a multi-disciplinary effort to put the most technologically and physiologically prepared team on the start line at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Project '96 led to major advances in aerodynamics – including the GT Superbike – as well as altitude training, heat acclimatization, and hyperoxic training. Many of the sports science advances made during Project '96 are still in use at the elite and amateur levels of endurance sports. Chris was the Head Coach of the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team in 1996. In 1997, he joined the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international governing body for cycling headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, as Olympic Solidarity Coaching Instructor. He is well known for being the personal coach to cyclist Lance Armstrong - as well as George Hincapie, ice-hockey player Saku Koivu and swimmer Ed Moses.

A study into bike theft in the UK has revealed that a staggering 1,100 bikes are stolen every day, and yet, theft is rarely a barrier discussed by policymakers looking to increase cycling participation.   Each year, 80,000 stolen bikes go unclaimed for, presumably with owners either shelling out for a new model, or giving up on their cycling altogether, an unfortunate fate given that a fifth of owners listed their bicycle and kit as their ‘most important possession'.   Whilst the survey, commissioned by Direct Line, showed that 16% of its participants spent a “whopping £500 on their bike and accessories”, a 2021 study across Cycling Weekly's publisher's readers put the average spend figure at £2,685 (Future Publishing BikeTrack Survey, 2021).   For enthusiasts - the people for whom cycling is already a regular pastime, and who are therefore less likely to be put off by road traffic - the loss of a bike is likely an even more substantial financial outlay, arguably making bike theft a key detractor.   Statistics from the UK and US show that whilst 19% and 20% of victims report the loss of a bicycle to the police, only 5% of those stolen are returned each year. Instead, victims, and indeed cycling security brands are putting in the effort to seek solutions.   One owner lucky (or, resourceful) enough to have his stolen bikes returned in November last year was David Wilkins, who used an AirTag GPS tracker to help police retrieve three stolen bikes, the highest in value a £10,000 Specialized.   Relaying the story to Cycling Weekly, Wilkins told us: “[The police] were very helpful, but I got the impression they couldn't do too much as they said the location wasn't specific enough,” he “took the matter into [his] own hands” and even having located the bikes was told by police that the “AirTag could still be inaccurate," only gaining traction when he and an officer “pressed our ears up against the window of the property” and “heard beep, beep, beep.” Whilst the police no doubt have a lot on their hands, it shouldn't be down to victims to play Cluedo on tens of thousands of pounds worth of stolen belongings.   Bike locks have also become more sophisticated, with the likes of Hiplok seeking to produce an angle grinder-resistant solution last year.     What's New in the 303:   Riding, Being Safe and Having Fun in the Cold–Things to Think About This article will hopefully point out some not so obvious challenges, ideas and solutions to help you enjoy winter riding outdoors more.   Riding outside in the Colorado winter comes with increased risks, but often with un-anticipated rewards. I, like so many, have come to enjoy indoor riding much more thanks to my smart trainer (Saris H3) and my motivating software, Zwift. But it doesn't replace the crisp Colorado air and snowy vistas and a sense of not only being outside and refreshed, but sort of conquering the elements too.   Yes, as we know, there can be single layer, short sleeved days in the middle of Winter here along the front range, but rarely is it good to leave the house without at least a vest, gloves, arm warmers and “legs”. For me, come mid-November the toe covers are on and stay on until  March.   Shadows: The sun angle is lower and causes much deeper and darker shadows. So much so if you look at these two pictures you will barely see a rock (about the size of the palm of my hand) in the shadow about 8 feet ahead compared to when I moved the rock into the sun a few inches to the left. These pictures were taken at 1:30pm. Hazards like rocks, potholes and especially ice are well hid by shadows, even narrow ones from a fence post. Also the colder surface temperature in a shadow can house clear “black” ice—super dangerous to cyclists.   Moved the rock into the sun Visibility: With the sun angle lower, sun glare happens much earlier in the day and is more intense and lasts longer. Bright colors or lights won't be as effective. Wearing a lightweight vest or jacket and leaving it unzipped makes it flap and draws attention (as long as it's not too annoying to yourself).   Roads vs. Bike paths. While bike paths might offer a safer feeling with no cars, they can often be much sloppier longer after a snow storm. That's because most paths follow the grade of the land so they slope in one direction. Thus snow or water on the sides tend to drain into the path rather than away from it like on a road. Roads are generally “crowned” in the middle and slope towards drainage and dry out quicker and sit higher than the surrounding land.   Route Planning: Avoid riding past 4pm for reasons noted above with sun glare and quick temperature changes. If riding late, avoid riding into the sun so plan your routes accordingly. Also, riding in canyons can be very unpredictable with even deeper shadows. They hold snow and ice longer and coatings of mag chloride used to melt snow can leave roads looking almost wet and further disguise ice. Cold air pockets in canyons can drop temperatures very quickly. Rides with steep climbs that make us sweat might make us extra chilly going down, so bringing a large, thin, easy-to-put-on jacket for descents is often worthwhile. Routes with short climbs, rolling hills and some more technical turns offer variety which can be good for “moving around” on the bike with standing and shifting hands that will help keep you warmer.   Body fatigue: On a road or triathlon bike in particular, you will feel the road more in the cold. The bike feels stiffer in the cold, your body is typically stiffer so eventually you will feel more fatigue from the jarring and vibration than when it's warm. Lowering your tire pressure 5lbs or so can make a big difference in comfort.   Clothing: In general we all know about the importance of layers and the wonderful fabrics that allow moisture wicking and wind blocking. Probably the biggest bangs for the buck are a good base layer for your torso, toe covers, arm and leg warmers, neck gators, and a skull cap. All of these can be fairly affordable and when added to jackets, vests, jerseys etc, can make a huge difference in comfort. They carry easily, and can be easy to take off and on in changing temperatures. Water and windproof fabrics are great, but can sometimes cause sweating which will eventually make you cold. If it's sunny out, maybe just opt for basic gloves and outerwear.   Fit is king, just like a bike. The better the fit, the more comfortable, the better blood circulation and the the better the experience.  Thicker socks or gloves may cause worse circulation and make you colder. Keep extremities dextrous and warm; numb feet and hands are not good! Also note Gloves too big can get caught on gear and brake levers or catch your hoods when shifting your hands and can cause a crash.   Latex gloves can be a life saver. Combined with another glove, they can add a lot of warmth and are great for unexpected moisture and are super easy to stash in your bike bag–and very cheap.   Toe covers provide really good protection. Neoprene ones are the least expensive but can cause sweating more quickly so for a few extra dollars consider a breathable but water/wind proof fabric.   Full foot covers are great when it's really cold and going to stay cold. They may make your feet too warm though if the temperatures climb. It might be best to start with toe covers that you can use in a much bigger variety of temperatures and if they aren't enough you can always get full foot protectors.   All in all, it takes a while to figure out what's going to work best to keep you warm, but try, it will be worth it. Just be a bit more cautious and aware and enjoy the snowy vistas!     Inside Tracker Update We heard Morgan Pearson talk about how Inside Tracker is helping him dial in his optimal health and diet/supplement choices. What IT is?  Inside Tracker analyzes your biomarkers, using cutting-edge science and technology, to provide ultra-customized recommendations aimed at transforming your body. A biomarker is a biological indicator of your body's internal condition, which can be measured in the blood. Tracking these biomarkers at regular intervals over time, and following a personalized plan to improve them, is a great way to transform your overall health, longevity, performance, and well-bein   What value? I've done the DNA Report and did the blood draw on Tuesday of this week. As soon as I get the results from the lab work, I'll be sure to share it. A couple weeks ago you had asked about the insights I got from Inside Tracker   DNA Reports. According to your genetic data, you're likely to have average potential to excel at power-type sports that use bursts of power such as weight-lifting and sprinting. You may have to work harder to excel at endurance sports such as distance running and cycling. Based on the genes we looked at, you have an average genetic risk for lower testosterone. If your blood testosterone levels are low, you may find it harder to reach your athletic performance goals. Much of the testosterone in your body is bound to a protein called SHBG, and only about 1 to 2 percent circulates freely in your blood.  This report looks at a single genetic variant that can affect the amount of free testosterone in your blood. You have an increased genetic potential for higher blood levels of free testosterone. If you're struggling to reach your athletic performance goals, it might be good for you to consider getting your blood tested for free testosterone. Your red blood cells are packed with hemoglobin, the oxygen transporter in red blood cells. The iron in the hemoglobin protein binds oxygen and carries it from the lungs to the rest of the body, so it's a key factor in athletic performance.  This report looks at a single genetic variant that can affect your hemoglobin level.  Based on one genetic marker, you have an average genetic risk for lower blood levels of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in your red blood cells. Your muscles need oxygen for optimal performance. Many standard blood tests include hemoglobin so check your latest report from your doctor to see what your blood hemoglobin level really is. Vitamin B12 plays an important role in red blood cell production. Since red blood cells carry oxygen to your muscles, your B12 level can be a factor in performance. This report looks at a single genetic variant that can affect your B12 level. Your body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen, so this vitamin is crucial for performance. Based on one genetic marker, you have an elevated genetic potential for slightly higher blood levels of vitamin B12. Tendons connect muscles to bone. When your tendons are flexible, you can have better overall flexibility and range of motion. You're also less likely to injure your tendons — when they're under strain, flexible tendons are more likely to stretch than tear. This flexibility is partly genetic, which is why some people naturally have tighter or looser joints and range of motion analysis examines a single genetic variant to determine your potential of tendon and ligament injury (like tendonitis and ACL tears). You have an average genetic risk for tendon stiffness and injury, but you'll still need to exercise smart. To avoid an injury, remember to warm up before your workout. Good news! Based on a single genetic variant, you're not at increased risk of gluten sensitivity. There are no guarantees, of course, so if you develop any food sensitivities make sure to rule out gluten. Good news — based on a single gene variant, you're not likely to develop lactose intolerance. There are no guarantees, of course, so if you develop any food sensitivities make sure to rule out dairy. You have a gene variant that makes you more likely to have a peanut allergy, but your chances of actually having a peanut allergy are still very low. The average risk of a peanut allergy is 1.5%; your potential risk is only 3%. If you have any food sensitivities, you'll want to get tested to find out whether you should avoid peanuts. While your DNA is your master code, things don't always get built exactly according to plan. There are many factors that affect how you grow and change and react to your surroundings. Your DNA is only one factor. Upgrade your InsideTracker experience to include blood analysis, and we'll combine your DNA and blood results in an exclusive report.

He started coaching with the United States Cycling Federation (now USA Cycling) in 1990, was the U.S. Men's Road Cycling team coach for the 1992 Olympic Games and the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team Head Coach for the 1996 Olympic Games.   In the winter of 1986, Chris suffered a broken femur in a cross-country skiing accident. He raced a shortened season in 1987, but a series of knee surgeries kept him from returning to full strength. In 1988-89, Chris raced domestically in the U.S. for the Schwinn-Wheaties Professional Cycling Team before retiring at the end of the 1989 season.   Chris was the U.S. Men's Road Cycling team coach for the 1992 Olympic Games. He was named the U.S. National Coaching Director and led “Project ‘96”, a multi-disciplinary effort to put the most technologically and physiologically prepared team on the start line at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Project '96 led to major advances in aerodynamics – including the GT Superbike – as well as altitude training, heat acclimatization, and hyperoxic training. Many of the sports science advances made during Project '96 are still in use at the elite and amateur levels of endurance sports. Chris was the Head Coach of the U.S. Olympic Cycling Team in 1996. In 1997, he joined the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international governing body for cycling headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland, as Olympic Solidarity Coaching Instructor. He is well known for being the personal coach to cyclist Lance Armstrong - as well as George Hincapie, ice-hockey player Saku Koivu and swimmer Ed Moses. Athletes under his tutelage have reportedly won a combined total of 33 medals at the Olympics, World Championships, and Pan American Games.   Chris Carmichael is the founder and CEO of Carmichael Training Systems, Inc.

A study into bike theft in the UK has revealed that a staggering 1,100 bikes are stolen every day, and yet, theft is rarely a barrier discussed by policymakers looking to increase cycling participation.   Each year, 80,000 stolen bikes go unclaimed for, presumably with owners either shelling out for a new model, or giving up on their cycling altogether, an unfortunate fate given that a fifth of owners listed their bicycle and kit as their ‘most important possession'.   Whilst the survey, commissioned by Direct Line, showed that 16% of its participants spent a “whopping £500 on their bike and accessories”, a 2021 study across Cycling Weekly's publisher's readers put the average spend figure at £2,685 (Future Publishing BikeTrack Survey, 2021).   For enthusiasts - the people for whom cycling is already a regular pastime, and who are therefore less likely to be put off by road traffic - the loss of a bike is likely an even more substantial financial outlay, arguably making bike theft a key detractor.   Statistics from the UK and US show that whilst 19% and 20% of victims report the loss of a bicycle to the police, only 5% of those stolen are returned each year. Instead, victims, and indeed cycling security brands are putting in the effort to seek solutions.   One owner lucky (or, resourceful) enough to have his stolen bikes returned in November last year was David Wilkins, who used an AirTag GPS tracker to help police retrieve three stolen bikes, the highest in value a £10,000 Specialized.   Relaying the story to Cycling Weekly, Wilkins told us: “[The police] were very helpful, but I got the impression they couldn't do too much as they said the location wasn't specific enough,” he “took the matter into [his] own hands” and even having located the bikes was told by police that the “AirTag could still be inaccurate," only gaining traction when he and an officer “pressed our ears up against the window of the property” and “heard beep, beep, beep.” Whilst the police no doubt have a lot on their hands, it shouldn't be down to victims to play Cluedo on tens of thousands of pounds worth of stolen belongings.   Bike locks have also become more sophisticated, with the likes of Hiplok seeking to produce an angle grinder-resistant solution last year.     What's New in the 303:   Riding, Being Safe and Having Fun in the Cold–Things to Think About This article will hopefully point out some not so obvious challenges, ideas and solutions to help you enjoy winter riding outdoors more.   Riding outside in the Colorado winter comes with increased risks, but often with un-anticipated rewards. I, like so many, have come to enjoy indoor riding much more thanks to my smart trainer (Saris H3) and my motivating software, Zwift. But it doesn't replace the crisp Colorado air and snowy vistas and a sense of not only being outside and refreshed, but sort of conquering the elements too.   Yes, as we know, there can be single layer, short sleeved days in the middle of Winter here along the front range, but rarely is it good to leave the house without at least a vest, gloves, arm warmers and “legs”. For me, come mid-November the toe covers are on and stay on until  March.   Shadows: The sun angle is lower and causes much deeper and darker shadows. So much so if you look at these two pictures you will barely see a rock (about the size of the palm of my hand) in the shadow about 8 feet ahead compared to when I moved the rock into the sun a few inches to the left. These pictures were taken at 1:30pm. Hazards like rocks, potholes and especially ice are well hid by shadows, even narrow ones from a fence post. Also the colder surface temperature in a shadow can house clear “black” ice—super dangerous to cyclists.   Moved the rock into the sun Visibility: With the sun angle lower, sun glare happens much earlier in the day and is more intense and lasts longer. Bright colors or lights won't be as effective. Wearing a lightweight vest or jacket and leaving it unzipped makes it flap and draws attention (as long as it's not too annoying to yourself).   Roads vs. Bike paths. While bike paths might offer a safer feeling with no cars, they can often be much sloppier longer after a snow storm. That's because most paths follow the grade of the land so they slope in one direction. Thus snow or water on the sides tend to drain into the path rather than away from it like on a road. Roads are generally “crowned” in the middle and slope towards drainage and dry out quicker and sit higher than the surrounding land.   Route Planning: Avoid riding past 4pm for reasons noted above with sun glare and quick temperature changes. If riding late, avoid riding into the sun so plan your routes accordingly. Also, riding in canyons can be very unpredictable with even deeper shadows. They hold snow and ice longer and coatings of mag chloride used to melt snow can leave roads looking almost wet and further disguise ice. Cold air pockets in canyons can drop temperatures very quickly. Rides with steep climbs that make us sweat might make us extra chilly going down, so bringing a large, thin, easy-to-put-on jacket for descents is often worthwhile. Routes with short climbs, rolling hills and some more technical turns offer variety which can be good for “moving around” on the bike with standing and shifting hands that will help keep you warmer.   Body fatigue: On a road or triathlon bike in particular, you will feel the road more in the cold. The bike feels stiffer in the cold, your body is typically stiffer so eventually you will feel more fatigue from the jarring and vibration than when it's warm. Lowering your tire pressure 5lbs or so can make a big difference in comfort.   Clothing: In general we all know about the importance of layers and the wonderful fabrics that allow moisture wicking and wind blocking. Probably the biggest bangs for the buck are a good base layer for your torso, toe covers, arm and leg warmers, neck gators, and a skull cap. All of these can be fairly affordable and when added to jackets, vests, jerseys etc, can make a huge difference in comfort. They carry easily, and can be easy to take off and on in changing temperatures. Water and windproof fabrics are great, but can sometimes cause sweating which will eventually make you cold. If it's sunny out, maybe just opt for basic gloves and outerwear.   Fit is king, just like a bike. The better the fit, the more comfortable, the better blood circulation and the the better the experience.  Thicker socks or gloves may cause worse circulation and make you colder. Keep extremities dextrous and warm; numb feet and hands are not good! Also note Gloves too big can get caught on gear and brake levers or catch your hoods when shifting your hands and can cause a crash.   Latex gloves can be a life saver. Combined with another glove, they can add a lot of warmth and are great for unexpected moisture and are super easy to stash in your bike bag–and very cheap.   Toe covers provide really good protection. Neoprene ones are the least expensive but can cause sweating more quickly so for a few extra dollars consider a breathable but water/wind proof fabric.   Full foot covers are great when it's really cold and going to stay cold. They may make your feet too warm though if the temperatures climb. It might be best to start with toe covers that you can use in a much bigger variety of temperatures and if they aren't enough you can always get full foot protectors.   All in all, it takes a while to figure out what's going to work best to keep you warm, but try, it will be worth it.

The neoprene carrying case which came with my missing Bose bluetooth earbuds. I tried to throw this neoprene earbud case away recently. But instead of sending it off to the landfill, it became the focus of this episode. I honestly don't know why I kept it this long. It belonged to the Bose earbuds I lost, so even the case is premium quality. But really, it's not that great. Certainly not as cool as my expensive pocket knife. The only time I ever pulled a knife on anybody was at a roadhouse in the lush rural wilds south of New Orleans. A man named Nichol Dance violently smashed my cassette recorder on the ground and I feared for my life.

This week we are joined by Larissa Muehleder, founder of New York womenswear label Muehleder. Her empowering contemporary pieces are sculpted out of Neoprene, a fabric she takes pride in being comfortable, flexible, and more importantly, that her customers can wear and still eat a burger in! Born into a Nigerian and Austrian lineage, Larissa moved around a lot as a child; from Germany to Paris, and briefly Senegal before finally settling down in Brooklyn, New York. The adventures shaped her resilient and “go with the flow” attitude, which soon led her to the High School of Fashion Industries at the young age of 16. Her love for fashion design further inspired her to study Business and Fashion Marketing and Merchandising at the Fashion Institute of Technology. It was from here, along with her mother's strong entrepreneurial influence, she began to adapt to the challenges of owning a fashion business and maintaining its values. Muehleder label, and notably, Larissa's designs have come a long way since; dressing major celebrity clients including Cardi-B, Zendaya, and Ashley Tisdale, to name a few. In this episode, we talk about the hustle and grind of crafting and selling a fashion label. This isn't always an easy task as Larissa explains her own personal experiences of pitching from boutique to boutique in the center of New York, but also the learning curve and success that came from it. She also touches on her overwhelming love for her clients, and how building a relationship and listening to your customers, as well as being truly authentic, is essential for running a successful fashion business.

Drysuits have their benefits and there isn’t really anywhere you can’t dive in a drysuit, it’s all about the insulation you wear underneath it. Neoprene wetsuits have temperature ranges where you can dive them before getting too cold.

By the age of 25 Abigail Lorick had clocked a successful career as a Ford Model and was on her way to launching her own brand. From there her career would continue to unfold in the fashion world, as the ghost design behind the WALDORF brand on TV's Gossip Girl and the design director for Stance. When she was approached by a female run private equity firm (more on that later) to create a women's surf brand by women for women, it was "a dream come true opportunity." Ansea was designed intentionally to bring a women's perspective to the world of surfwear, owned and operated and supported by the people who not only design the clothes but also are the target market. Large companies largely run by men had long dominated the board-shorts and bikinis featured in surf mags which ubiquitously featured very fit, generally young, and mostly white models. Abigail and her patrons at Solera Capital saw an opportunity to create a brand that would champion women of all shapes, ages and shades, translating the openness of the ocean into a clothing line that celebrated the broad diversity of ocean lovers. Much of this story is about the why which drove the creation of Ansea, as well as the what that defines their product. Their principles of course also stretch into the sustainability of the clothes they make, choosing to forgo Neoprene for the Yulex, a plant based material which is more expensive and harder to source, but also won't spend the next millennium degrading in a landfill.

Welcome to episode twenty-four of the Low Tide Boyz, a Swimrun Podcast!We’ve got something completely new this week! For this week’s show we’re doing a deep dive into Ötillö’s Engadin World Series race. We thought that since this was the first major race to happen after shelter in place orders have lifted that it would be cool to test out a new format for race previews.We definitely couldn’t have done this without the help of Lauritz and Mats Skott from Ötillö, Nicolas Remirez of Envol Coaching, Helen Wikmar of Ark Sports and Daniel Hansson. If almost all of these names sound familiar is because with the exception of Daniel, Mats, Nicolas and Helen are previous guests on the podcast. The idea for this format kept coming up in feedback from friends and listeners. Way back when we started the show we thought that it would be could do race previews and all the feedback kept convincing us that this would be fun content to produce and share. We spent three weeks getting everything together and we hope that you enjoy and are inspired to add Engadin to your Swimrun bucket list. (We definitely have it on ours!) So let’s dive in.FIRST, WHERE IS ENGADIN?Located in southeastern Switzerland and situated in a high alpine valley at an elevation of around 1800 meters or 5900 feet Engadin is a long high Alpine valley region in the eastern Swiss Alps located in the canton of Graubünden in most southeastern Switzerland with about 25,000 inhabitants. Engadin means “Valley of the Inn People” and the En (pronounced Inn) is the river that flows through the valley and ends in the Black Sea but not before passing through some amazing looking lakes. This region is known for skiing, hiking, trail running, water sports and since 2014—Swimrun.Travel to Engadin is pretty straight forward. The closest major city is St. Moritz and it’s about 200km or 124 miles from Zurich and 175km or 109 miles from Milan. Flying, driving and railway are all ways to get to the race location. And uhm, what a location! Situated in a high alpine valley at an elevation of around 1700- 1800 meters or 5500-5900 feet the Swiss Alps look like a painting. Check out this race hype video by Ötillö to get a sense of the region and race course. Ötillö describes this destination a fairy tale. It is the race that launched the international swimrun movement in 2014 as the first Ötillö race ever outside of Sweden. “A unique race in a unique place, hosted in the fantastic Engadin Valley in Switzerland.”We sat down with Mats Skott who chose the location and designed the course for his take on all things Engadin.Why Engadin?Up until the Engadin race in 2014 Ötillö (which means island to island) was only taking place in the Stockholm Archipelago and they wanted to show that swimrun could be done anywhere where there is water to swim in and trails/roads to run on. He said that the beauty of the region and the challenge of mountains serve to highlight both that Swimrun is a versatile sport and that it can be truly international. It is now one of his favorite races to produce year after year.Key features of the course?Mats took into account the natural beauty of the region and used the valley and mountains surrounding the valley for great swimming and a lot of climbing on the run legs. Athletes traverse three lakes as they start in Maloja and make their way towards the finish in Silvaplana.Important info for swim runners considering racing Engadin?It’s important for folks to know that the race is in the mountains and as such, athletes need to prepared for sudden changes in weather and account for cold water temps. Having the right equipment and being properly trained is key to have a great experience. Athletes also need to recon with the elevation of the race and the technical/steep climbs and descents on the run legs. Training technical downhill running is key aspect to train for this event.Ötillö Race FACTS (World Series Distance)Total race distance: 45.4 km (28.2 miles)
Trail-running: 39.6 km (24.6 miles)
Run sections: 9
Swimming: 5,800 m (6,343 y)
Swim sections: 8 (12.8% Swimming)
Longest swim: 1,400 m (1530 y)
Longest run: 8.5 km (5.3 Miles)
Total elevation: 1,499 m (4918 feet)The World Series race starts near the town of Maloja and ends in the town of Silvaplana. (The hub for all pre-race activities including packet pickup, course briefings, etc.)Sprint and experience distance events take place in Silvaplana the day before the World Series distance event.Average race times: Based on 2019 results, the winning team finished in 5:27:29 (Team Simployer.) Daniel Hansson and Helen Wilkmar who we interview later in the show each finished second in 2019 with their teams ARK Swimrun for Daniel and ARKsouls for Helen. The last team finished in 9:21:31 in 2019. 5 teams missed cutoff times at aid stations. 13 teams did not finish.Fun fact: 29 countries were represented at the 2019 event.Weather on Race DayIn the middle/end of July, it is usually summer in the Engadin Valley with daytime temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit). The elevation of the course is around 1700-1800 meters (5,500-5875 ft) and this means that there could even be snowfall. Water temperatures will be between 10-14 degrees Celsius (50-57 degrees Fahrenheit) depending on where you are along the course. Ötillö recommends making sure that teams dress accordingly and consider wearing something under your wetsuit if you tend to get cold on the long swims. Use a Neoprene cap if you are not used to cold water.Ötillö’s describes the course as “challenging and beautiful. The varied course, the altitude and the very strong group of participants will challenge everyone to put in their best performances.”“The start is in Maloja, at the top of the valley and finish is by the lake in Silvaplana. The course passes Sils and Silvaplana along the way. The running sections are on dirt roads, single tracks, rocks and with some challenging steep sections to climb. The uphills are rewarded by amazing views. This is tough.”We chatted with Daniel Hansson who has raced the event four times for his tips on the course. He tries to arrive early to Engadin to start acclimating to the elevation and taking it easy when he arrives with some light hikes and easy swims. He also keeps a closer eye on his effort on race day to make sure that he’s keeping his heart rate from exploding to be able to race well. He encourages everyone to take the time to enjoy the beauty of the region.World Series Course Leg Breakdown Leg 1: Maloja to Lej Cavloc 3.2k run (1.9 miles) (110m or 360ft of climbing)Leg 2: Lej Cavloc 300m swim (328 yards)Leg 3: Leg Cavloc to Sils Lake Malija 7.6k run (4.7 miles) (330m or 1082 ft of climbing in this section narrow single track technical section)Leg 4: Maloja 500m swim (546 yards)Leg 5: Camping to Isola 6.5k run (4 miles) (210m or 689ft of climbing) (uphill all the time)Leg 6: Isola to Chaste Point 900m swim (984 yards)Leg 7: Chaste Point-Chaste Second Swim 600m run (.4 miles)Leg 8: Chaste 2nd Swim 600m swim (656 yards)Leg 9: Chaste to Lej Silvaplana 6.3k run (3.9 miles) (150m or 492ft of climbing)Leg 10: Lej Silvaplana 600m swim (656 yards)Leg 11: Lej Silvaplana loop 3.2k run (2 miles) (210m or 689ft of climbing)Leg 12: Lej Silvaplana 2 800m swim (875 yards)Leg 13: Lej Silvaplana to Silvaplana 1.9k run (1.2 miles)Leg 14: Lej Champfer 1400m swim (1530 yards)Leg 15: Lej Champfer Loop 8.5k run (5.3 miles) (375m or 1230ft of climbing) (Lots of switchbacks in this leg on the climb up and a gravel fire road on the way down)Leg 16: Lej Champfer 2 700m swim (765 yards)Leg 17: Shore to finish line Silvaplana 2k run (1.3 miles)We were lucky to be able to get Nicolas of Envol Coaching to give us a course breakdown and mini-race report. There are a lot of nuggets of wisdom here for anyone considering racing this event.Engadin Race ReportsWe asked Helen and Daniel to give us their respective race reports from 2019 to help everyone get a sense of what the course would be like on race day. More great nuggets of wisdom for everyone to stock away. Training for the Engadin World Series DistanceWe asked Nicolas for his advice on training for Engadin. He gave us a lot of tips about training for the elevation and the weather conditions. He recommends athletes try to train at least a few sessions in altitude to get a sense of what the race effort could look like. He recommends long hill repeat training sessions and swim straight after running downhills, if possible. A key weekly session that he asks all of his coaching athletes that are racing Engadin to do every week leading up to the race is pretty intense: a three-hour workout with 30 minutes of steep hill repeats (last downhill really fast) followed by a 20 minute swim at race pace, then 25 minutes of hill repeats followed by a 15 minute swim at race pace, then 20 minutes of hill repeats followed by a 10 minute swim at race pace, then 30 minutes of hill repeats followed by a 15 minute swim at race pace and finally 15 minutes of hill repeats.The other key weekly session is to find the steepest hill in your area and do hill repeats for one hour non-stop.SummarySo with that, we hope that everyone found some value in this race preview. Again, we could not have produced this show without all the help that we got from Lauritz and Mats Skott from Ötillö, Nicolas Remirez of Envol Coaching, Helen Wikmar of Ark Sports and Daniel Hansson. We were truly humbled that so many people were willing to give us some of their time to help make this show great and we hope that you find value in listening to it and, ultimately, that you are inspired to add this race to your bucket list.We’d love to hear your feedback so let us know what you think!That’s it for this week’s show.

Next up, the syndicated mid-90s "Baywatch Nights"! No, not "Baywatch" -- "Baywatch Nights". Don't fret though, because it still has the franchise's biggest star: David Hasselhoff! The show made a serious shift in genre from season 1 to season 2, going from standard private eye stuff to supernatural shenanigans, so we're doing a good ol' "compare and contrast" to evaluate its entertainment value/crappiness. We're calling it the Night and Day viewing!

In our recent experimentation we've come across something that has historically proven to be an inflammatory topic: Spot Reduction.   While there's a whole lot more to this subject beneath the surface, this conversation expands upon the application-based discussion we had a couple episodes back about the Brain-Melanacortin-Vagus Axis.   And if you missed the beginning of this podcast episode, remember: If you want to create a constructive dialogue about any of these subjects, we're happy to oblige. We love to learn as much as we love to teach....   But make sure you come correct, and be respectful. Because otherwise,

What's the tough thing about underwater demolition and other operations is the water? It's cold. Even with wet suits, military divers can only stay underwater so long. Now a team working for the Office of Naval Research has found a way to give neoprene wetsuits insulating power nearly equal to the fat on a seal. Michael Strano and Jacopo Buongiorno, MIT engineering professors, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin on Federal News Radio to talk about these suits.

    Richard is joined by Jamie Noble Frier from the Noble Artist to talk all about Hero Master: An Epic Game of Epic Fails - The Board Game and why is isn't GRIM DARK.
