Each time up the hill, I either hit a thousand watts or was right around that.

Death Traffle on the show, episode 5.

Hey, everybody. Hey everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show.

I hope that you have been enjoying the first episodes of the show so far and just a little bit of admin before we dive into today's episode.

Remember to send me your feedback, questions, and guest requests to my email at Michael

at Scientific Triathlon.com.

Or you can hit me up on Twitter where my handle is at SciTri-A that's S-C-I-T-R-I-A-T.

Today's guest is none other than U.S. Olympic triathlete Ben Canute, who has been making great progress in the last few years on the ITU circuit, which is the Olympic and sprint

distance races that make up the World Triathlon series and also the World Cup, but the

World Triathlon series is the big dance for those of you who are not familiar with it.

And it's super exciting, super intense. The level of talent there is incredible.

That's where Gwen Jorgensen has been the dominant force on the female side, for example.

But yeah, so Ben is an up-and-coming athlete. He's 24, and this was his first Olympic Games.

And in today's show, we talk about how that played out

and also how he has been training for triathlon throughout his career, basically,

because he's been at this for a long time, starting when he was only eight years old.

And Ben also talks specifically about what advice he would give to age groupers in regards

to their training and what you should do.

So without any further ado, let's die right into today's interview with Ben Canute.

Today I'm excited to welcome Ben Canute professional triathlete from the United States, who recently,

last summer, competed in the Rio Olympics, and he also won the world championships at the

mixed relay of the ITU, together with his teammates Gwen Jorgensen, Kerson Casper, and Joe Malloy.
