0:00.0	The Triathlon Show 342.
0:05.0	Hey, hey, what's up, everybody, welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon show.
0:22.9	The podcast presented by Scientific Triathlon.com.
0:26.7	I'm my host Michael, and on today's episode, I interview Rito Plendly.
0:30.4	Lito is a Swiss triathlon and cycling coach working with professional and amateur athletes.
0:35.2	He also runs the performance lab training and diagnostics,
