0:00.0	explore going beyond traditional periodization with traditional three up one down, start to read
0:08.5	and explore about block style training and then the specificity of the goal event that you're
0:14.0	trying to achieve. And dig deep into getting to know yourself and don't be afraid to go
0:19.8	out there and find the edge because
0:20.9	you don't know where it's at until you go find it.
0:25.2	That Traflon So, 211.
0:46.4	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

1:43.4	can find on precision hydration.com.
1:46.2	You can go and get a free hydration plan. It's easy. You will just answer 10 questions in an online

1:59.1	basically ends up giving you a really good estimate for how much
