| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show. |
| 0:04.9 | The podcast presented by scientific triathlon.com. |
| 0:08.5 | I'm your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 122. |
| 0:12.8 | Before we get into today's question, big thanks to our sponsors, precision hydration. |
| 0:17.4 | Precision hydration create electrolyte products that you can match to how you sweat so if you lose |
