Hey, what's up everybody and welcome back to That Traathlon Show, the podcast presented by

Scientific Triathlon.com. I'm our host Michael and this episode is Q&A number 77.

0:13.2

Before we get into today's questions, big thanks as usual to our sponsors. First, we have

0:18.2

precision hydration that you can find on precision hydration.com.

0:22.4

Precision hydration make electrolyte products that you can tailor to your individual sweat losses and sweat sodium concentration.

0:31.5

Because with the individual variances that exist in how much we each sweat and how much sodium we lose through that sweat

0:38.9

these needs can be vastly different from individual to individual and precision hydration
