Hey podcast listeners, this is Ben Greenfield, and if the audio sounds a little funky today, I'm actually recording this podcast on a tiny little handheld digital recorder from a small bedroom in my condo in Kona, Hawaii, where I am staying for the week to watch the 2009 Iron Man World Cup.

I know that some of you have been staying updated on my video coverage. I'm actually doing media coverage for a website called EveryManTry.com.

So if you surf over to EveryManTry.com, you'll be able to see some of what's going on down here in Kona, and we're trying to keep the videos as entertaining as possible.

Anyways, today's podcast, we've got a lot of good listener questions. We've got a fantastic interview with Dr. Carolyn Demarco, who has some outside the box concepts to talk about when it comes to bone density and females.

We've got a few special topics to go over, and it's going to be a good podcast. Hopefully you can bear with me on the audio here. And let's go ahead and just dive right in.

Special announcements.

Pretty quick on the special announcements today. For you triathletes out there, I have two things to tell you. The first is that that triathlon camp that I'm going to be coaching down in Austin, Texas in January is coming up quickly.

And if that's something that you want to be a part of, whether you are an Olympic distance athlete up to an Ironman athlete, we're going to have stuff there for you to do.

Primarily, I'd like the majority of people going to this camp to be focused on doing either half iron or an iron man, just because the amount of training that's going to be available to you will be enough volume for you to really have a good time and put in a big week.

And it's all in close of food, lodging, everything. I'll put a link to that in the show notes. And then also, like I mentioned, I'm down here at the 2009 Ironman Triathlon World Championships.

And it just so happens that coming up here in three days is the release of the triathlon dominator package.

And this is the complete book DVD CD package that I put together to allow the average everyday person to be able to successfully train for Ironman without neglecting your family or your career or your hobbies or your social life.

Essentially, it's a lot of tips and tricks that I've learned over the years put into a plan packaged with a nutrition plan and a bunch of bonuses thrown in to help you get to the Ironman finish line.

And be 100% confident that not only are you going to finish, but you're going to finish with a lot less time put in than some of your friends who are training with 15, 20 or 25 hour training weeks.

So the link is in the show notes and remember, it's only going to be available on October 10, 2009 in three days for that special pricing. It's going to open up exactly at 7 a.m.

which is going to be Hawaii time 7 a.m. All that you figure that out all the way till about midnight when the last participant crosses the finish line.

So make sure that you go to the link in the show notes or go to triathlondominator.com to get your triathlon dominator package on that day.

And we're going to go ahead and move into this week's listener Q&A.
