0:05.0	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show, the podcast
0:23.4	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm my host Michael and on today's episode I interview
0:28.8	Mario Schmidt-Vendling. Madio is a Frankfurt-based long-distance triathlon coached with an athletic
