0:00.0	Welcome to episode 440 of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:29.9	I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I follow up on last week's episode, which was 11 overrated factors for triathlon performance.
0:37.4	Today we get into underrated factors for triathlon performance. Today we get into underrated
0:39.3	factors for triathlon performance instead. Most of these are completely new and different from
0:44.4	what we discussed last week, but there are a couple of items that are basically the reverse of
0:49.6	what was already discussed, but that's just a couple of them, not too many. So there will be lots of

1:35.0	They create carbohydrate and electrolyte products that are effective, practical and tasty.
1:39.1	They are effective because they contain just the things with no work in the right amounts
1:42.6	and nothing else.
1:43.5	They're practical because they're based on increments of 30 grams of carbs and 500
1:47.3	milligrams of sodium, making it really easy to hit your numbers and follow your plan.
1:51.9	And by the way, you can use the free planner on their website to create your fueling and
1:56.2	hydration plan.
1:57.3	And they're tasty in a neutral mildly sweet way.
