0:05.2	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 our host Michael and on today's episode, I interview
0:28.9	Richard Laidlow. Richard is somebody that many of you have heard of as said the father and coach
0:34.1	of Sam Laidlaw. In this interview, we discuss what it's like to coach Sam.
0:38.2	We go into details around his training, but we also have a long discussion around coaching
0:43.9	and training advice for age group athletes because Richard does work with age groupers just

0:55.4	Precision fuel and hydration help athletes perform at the best with electrolyte and fueling products
0:59.5	and with free online tools, education and a patented sweat test. You can use the free fuel and
