Welcome to episode 466 of That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

My name is Michael Erikson, and today I introduce Solvei Lovset.

Solvei is an Olympian from Paris 2024, and she's been doing short course racing for quite a long time

but this year in 2025 she's been really killing it on the middle and long distance scene

with a very convincing win in Iron Man 73 GESOLO and the third place in her Iron Man debut

or her full distance debut in Iron Man Hamburg.

And both of these races were very competitive Iron Man Pro series races, so it's been a great season so far.

And Sula is racing her third Iron Man Pro series race in just a couple of days from when this episode is released.

This will be Iron Man Lake Placid, where a good result could set her up to fight for the win of the series and certainly for a podium place if the last couple of races then go well.

So it was a really good chat. I hope you enjoy it. We covered Sulva's Olympic experience,

her current focus on long course racing, and of course we discuss her training in great detail.

But before we get into the interview, big thanks to our sponsors, precision fuel and hydration.

They create carbohydrate and electrolyte products that help you fuel and hydrate your training

and racing optimally. And they do this by having products that are tasty but with mild

flavors which reduces the flavor fatigue that you

might run into with other products when you consume carbohydrates for hours on end in long

races or training for that matter and the other thing that they do is that their products are super

practical for example all the carbohydrate products are multiples of 30 grams of carbs so 30 grams

90 grams and even 300 grams with their flow gel.

And this makes it much easier to keep track of your consumption and make sure that you hit your goals for carbohydrate.

And the same similar things is what they do with sodium and even with caffeine.

And that's just so much more helpful, especially when you're racing and the intensity is high,
