Welcome to episode 470 of That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

My name is Michael Erikson, and today I interview Yelle Heens.

Jellin needs no introduction. He's the reigning Central Three World Champion, of course, and he's also a three-time Olympian,

and currently sits in second place in the T-100 World Tour standings. So I'm recording this after

the T-100 London race, but before the Frisier race. We'll get right into the interview with

Yele after thanking our sponsors, Precision Fuel and Hydration.

They create carbohydrates and electrolyte products, as you probably know.

And you might not know that they are also the nutrition and hydration partner of Yelle.

And a really cool thing that Precision Fuel and Hydration do is that they collect data from all of the athletes that they work with.

And they have a database

on their website with written up and analyzed case studies from all of these athletes across many

different sports, not just triathlon. So you can, for example, go there and find Yeles nutrition

hydration data from when he won 703 words in Taupo, in that race he averaged 1.04 grams per hour

carbs, 650 milliliters fluid per hour and 68 milligrams sodium per liter of fluid and 2.6

milligrams per kilo body weight of caffeine.

So you can get all of that basic data plus a lot more information besides.

There's a lot of detail to it, which products he used and so on and so forth.

But another cool thing that you can do on this case studies page is that you can use various filters.

So for example, you can choose to see only full distance triathlon case studies in very hot and humid conditions.

You can choose to focus on amateur or professional athletes, male or female athletes,

high or low or medium sweat sodium concentration.

It's a very cool tool.
