0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to that triathlon show, the podcast presented by
0:07.0	ScientificTraflon.com. I'm our host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 88.
0:13.8	In this week's Q&A, I'm co-hosting together with Coach Laughlankeeren, who you can find on
0:20.5	on ScientificTraflon.com on the coaching page
0:22.6	and on the team page. That's where you'll find more about his background if you haven't

1:53.3	You can take their free online sweat test to get an idea of where you might fall.
