0:00.0	What's up Trainiacs? This is Triathlon Taryn. This is no triathlon Kim, also known as NTK.
0:09.0	In my 20s, I was 215 pounds and I was unhappy working the desk job I was at. Now I'm a 941 Ironman athlete who, with your much appreciated attention, gets to make a living in the sport that I love.
0:23.0	Through this podcast and our ever popular YouTube channel, we bring you triathlon stories, science,
0:28.4	and training from amazing people around the world to help you get to your start lines confident
0:34.1	and your finish lines strong.
0:36.3	And as the resident non-triathlet, I try to keep

1:39.7	the new mattress? Great. I've been having good sleeps, very good sleeps. Except for last night,
1:43.5	when you hoofed me in the back. Because you hog the bed. I might have. I need my rest. So I don't, I guess,
1:51.9	but whatever. No, apparently you don't need me to rest because you're hoofing me in the back.
1:57.7	So this Helix sleep, it comes kind of like those packaged up mattresses that are rolled up,
