0:16.0	That Traflon Show, episode 20.
0:20.9	Hey, what's up, everybody? Welcome to That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:41.0	As always, I'm your host, Michael. And today on the show, I'm answering a question that many listeners have been asking me.
0:48.2	I'm combining it kind of into one single topic. And that is, how should masters athletes train to optimize performance and kind of
