Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield, podcasting to you from Kona Hawaii, where I'm here to race the Hawaii

70.3 triathlon. And that's why the audio may sound a little bit funny today. I'm using my

portable microphone setup with my trusty laptop. So I apologize for any unprofessional audio quality,

but hopefully you'll still get a lot of good information out of today's podcast. So we don't

have a ton in the way of special announcements today, but I wanted to make one quick correction.

Last week, I responded to a question about protein intake for kids, and I was doing the math in

my head, and I more than doubled the recommended protein intake in the recommendation that I made

to a woman about how much protein her young girl who was swimming should be getting. So if you want

to see the correct protein intake, I actually did correct that. It's on the show notes for podcast

number 147. So check that out if you want to make sure that you're not going to put your child

into kidney failure from giving them too much protein. So other than that, let's go ahead and just

jump right into this week's questions, and we'll go from there. And if you would like to keep track

of what I'm up to on Saturday, I'll be trying to qualify for the Ironman World Championships,

and you can track that at ironman.com. All right, let's go ahead and jump into this week's Q&A.

Well, listen to Q&A.
