Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of That Traathlon Show, the podcast

0:23.8

presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:27.1

I'm your host Michael, and on today's episode, I bring you another interview where I was a guest

0:32.0

on a different podcast and replay it here on That Traathlon show.

0:36.6

And this interview is from my appearance on the Strong Savvy Cyclist and Traathlet

0:41.5

podcast with host Menachem Brody, who was a guest on this podcast in episodes 182 and 183.

and electrolyte drinks. The advice given by precision hydration is to get most of your calories

1:52.0

from more solid foods because this approach typically results in less overall GI distress for the

majority of athletes, especially in the heat or during

2:02.3

very long events. The reason for this is probably that when you eat solid food like bars or

2:08.6

choose, et cetera, and you drink only water and electrolytes, then your stomach is better able to

2:14.2

control the rate that calories move from there into your gut and small intestine,

2:19.4

where they are ultimately absorbed into the bloodstream.
