That Triathlon Show, 196. Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to another episode of That Triathlon Show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I interview

Melanie McQuaid. Melanie is an elite triathlete. She's a five-time world champion across

Xterra and ITU cross-traathlon races. And as you'll hear in the interview, she's a five-time world champion across Xterra and ITU cross-traathlon races.

And as you'll hear in the interview, she's a very knowledgeable coach.

And so she really is the perfect guest to talk about the innocent outs of training for

and racing XTERA and other off-road triathlon races, which will cover today.

Before we get into the interview, big thanks to precision hydration for sponsoring this episode.

As you'll hear, we talk a lot about exterior races like the World Championships on Hawaii, on Maui,

and that is, of course, a very humid climate, which we touched upon.

And in hot and humid climates

the importance of replacing electrolytes increases so that is what precision hydration can help you with

and they have a free online sweat test on precision hydration.com that will give you a ballpark estimate

for your sweat rate and your sweat sodium content,

which can help inform your race hydration strategy.

And this is, we're approaching the end of August, so final call for the promo code

that triathlon show 20, which will take 20% of your entire order on precision hydration.com.

If you'd want to just try one box or tube, then you can do so for free with the promo code

that traflon show all on word all caps. But again, if you want to make a bigger order and get a

discount, make sure to do that now because the code that Trafalol show 20 expires at the end of August.

Also big thanks to Roka for sponsoring the episode.

Roka are running their Details Matter campaign and here is another input that I got and this one is from Jess in operations who writes about the details of the viper swim skin.
