The Triathlon Show 412.

0:05.0

Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast

0:23.6

presented by Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and on today's episode, I interview

0:29.1

Torben, Rockdale-Lauce. Torben is the head coach and manager of the Triathlon Center in

0:34.0

Orhus, which is one of three high-performance triathlon centers in Denmark.

0:38.1

He's also very closely finalizing his PhD in sports science, which we'll touch on towards the

0:43.1

end of the episode, and he is probably, or his most well-known athletes that he coaches probably

0:47.8

would be Christian Hoganhauk and Matthias Lingser-Petersen.

0:51.3

Before we get into this interview, though, big thanks to our sponsors,

0:54.4

precision fuel and hydration. They help athletes perform at their best with electrolyte

0:58.2

and fueling products and with free online tools, education and a patented sweat test.

1:02.2

As I mentioned before, precision fuel and hydration have launched a new flow gel that is now

1:07.1

available for pre-order. This is a gel design so that you no longer have to squeeze

1:11.0

8 to 10 gels into a bottle for a races, but this flow gel contains 300 grams of carbohydrates

1:16.8

that you can put into one bottle or flask and it flows easily without adding water. So it is the perfect

1:22.4

gel for the bike leg of a half or full distance race, and you can get 15% of your first precision fuel and hydration order using the code TTS23 on precision fuel and hydration.com. And thank you to CEN8. The CNAID indoor swim trainer allows you to improve your technique, power and swim training consistency even when you're short on time. You can do a quality workout in just 15 minutes at home. So if you don't have time to get to the pool, no worries. It's also a great tool for training through injury that might keep you out of the pool, which is something that I'm unfortunately experiencing myself at the moment with bad road rash keeping me from the pool. But in these situations, the CNAID helps to maintain as much fitness as possible, which is a very welcome relief. You can try the CNAID 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 senatesintraer.com for Sash tTS. Now without any further ado, here's the interview with Torben, Rockdale-Lauce. Welcome to that jafflons show, Torben. How are you doing? Good. Thank you. Glad to be here and looking forward to a nice talk.
