The Traflon Show, 277.

Hey, what's up everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that traathlon show, the podcast

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I'm you Leslie Patterson.

interesting chat.

But let's get to that right after thanking our sponsors, precision hydration.
