Hi Carolyn Thank you so much for this episode on Master's track. Your guests answered a lot of questions and I really enjoyed listening to their experience and experiences. I'm giving it some thought for sure and will dig into the meat and potatoes of it over the next couple of weeks. Thank you again. P.S. loved your episode with you and Johnny recapping your Chicago experience and training. I never considered candy before for a carb load, that my friend was epic! Janet
