0:05.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast
0:23.2	presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Tamara
0:28.8	Jewett. Tamara is a pro triathlet from Canada, focusing on middle-distance triathlon. She has eight
0:34.3	ironers sewn on three podiums on her resume, including three wins, and she's known as being one of the fastest runners in triathlon, and is currently ranked ninth in the world in the PTO rankings.
0:44.7	Before we get into the interview, big thanks to our sponsors, precision fuel and hydration.
0:49.1	They help athletes perform at their best with electrolyte and fueling products, and with free online tools, education and a patented sweat test. You can use the free fuel and hydration planner on their
0:58.2	website to get a personalized plan for carbohydrate, sodium and fluid intake, and you can book
1:02.6	a free 20-minute video consultation to chat through your plan with the athlete support team.
1:06.9	I actually just had one of these consultations myself earlier today as I record this intro, and it was brilliant.
1:12.9	Shout out to Chris.
1:14.1	Thank you for some great advice to help me optimize my hydration strategy for some races that I have coming up.
1:20.5	And I have used their entire range of products for a long, long time, and I think they're absolutely brilliant, so I highly recommend trying them out.
1:26.8	You can get 15% of your first order with the code TTS23 on PrecisionFuelanhydration.com. And thank you to SNA8. The Sinate indoor swim trainer allows you to improve your technique, power and swim training consistency even when you're short on time. It's a great tool for busy athletes because you can do a quality workout in just 15 minutes at home even on days when you don't have time to get to the pool. And it is a perfect complement to pool and open water swimming as it allows you to focus specifically on key aspects of your swimming, like your catch and your power and isolate them more easily than you can in the water. You can try to send it risk free for up to 30 days. So if you don't love it, just send it back. And you can get 20% off your first order on senateintra.com for tTS. Now

2:25.0	And yeah, how has your recovery gone?
2:27.7	Yeah, pretty good. A little sore today, partly just from cycling the 70.3 Ex-Provence bike course yesterday.
2:38.5	It's very hilly.
2:39.8	So I think on top of recovering, it was a lot for my quads.
