0:00.0	The Traathlon Show, 387.
0:17.8	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast
0:23.5	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and on today's episode, I interview
0:28.9	Matt Fendola. Matt is a strength coach who has worked with and is working with world-class triathletes
0:33.8	such as Florida Duffy, Gwen Jorgensen, Ben Canute and Kevin McDowell. A few weeks ago in the
