0:00.0	Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by
0:05.9	Scientific Traathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 114. Before we get into
0:13.6	today's questions, big thanks to our sponsors. First, we have precision hydration that you can
0:18.4	find on precision hydration.com.
0:26.4	Precision hydration create electrolyte supplements and in particular they help you find out what your individual sweat sodium concentration is and then you can select a supplement that contains
