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 your host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 56. Before we get into
0:13.0	today's questions, big thanks to our sponsors. First, we have precision hydration. We talked
