One thing you'll see, again, quite often with triathletes when they're trying to work on that high elbow catch is they think they're doing it,

but what they're actually doing is just flexing at the wrist.

So they're just purely relying on the hand to generate propulsion, which is you're really cheating yourself because that forearm can generate quite a bit.

That triathlon show, 123.

Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.

I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Dave Pease, who is the national lead of sports biomechanics at the Australian

Institute of Sport, and swimming biomechanics is his specialty.

He is a former swimmer himself and works with a lot of swimmers, both professional and

amateur, and he has done a great amount of research on swimming biomechanics so he

knows both the practical aspects and the scientific and research aspect of swimming biomechanics

inside and out he's also the offer of the swimming biomechanics chapter in the book triathlon science.

As I've said before, the offers contributing to this book, Triathlon Science, are the best

of the best at what they do, so I try to get all of them on the podcast, and there aren't that

many more to go before I've covered that.

Anyway, Dave got his bachelor's and master's in exercise science

at the University of Southern California and the University of Colorado, respectively.

Then he moved to New Zealand to do his PhD there, and now he lives in Australia,

and is coming up on living abroad as long as having lived in the US.

Before the interview with Dave, let's thank our sponsors. This episode is sponsored by precision

hydration. They make electrolyte products for optimal performance and no more cramps.

I got a great, really cool email recently from a listener who wrote in saying that he was sitting in an accommodation container somewhere in Kabul on a short mission with the UN Environment Team listening to that triathlon show.

I have a couple of tubes with me here,
