Welcome to episode 245 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got another race recap for everyone this week. Joining us to talk about the epic 2024 edition of the Rockman Swimrun are Ben Paxton and Cameron Holman. Did we mention epic? This race is a total beast at baseline and this year’s race course was extra beastly. In this conversation Ben and Cameron bring the race to life and make a very, very compelling case to add this race to your bucket list.
But first…
Training Update Chipper’s Knee Update
No major update on Chipper’s knee other than it’s feeling better and he finally has an MRI scheduled.
Shoutout
This week’s shoutout goes out to everyone heading to ÖTILLÖ Orcas Island this weekend to take on the magical course nestled in the beautiful San Juan Islands. Pro tip: don’t miss the turn and end up in the pit of despair!
Feats of Endurance
This week’s winner is our friend Danny “Da Monsta” Divinov who finished Ironman Santa Cruz 70.3 over the weekend in a smoking time of 4:20! This guy has been living up to his nickname for as long as we’ve known him. Strong work!

Rockman Swimrun 2024 Race Recap
It was great to catch up with Ben and Cameron and get all the details on what was an epic day in Norway. They didn’t mention it during the conversation but Cameron finished in 2nd place with his partner Thierry Elena (from France) and Ben finished in 3rd place with his partner Sindre Sorensen (from Norway).
Enjoy!
