In this video, filmed with early-morning bed-hair and sleep wake-up voice in Florida on my way to Jamaica, I respond to the following Facebook question from Troy:

“When travelling, especially for an endurance event – do you partake of the ethnic or regional food choices? If so, pre-race or or post race? Do you bring bottled water if the water supply is suspect? What about anti-malarial meds or travel related immunizations? Do you carry travel health insurance? Is there need for concern regarding water quality (of the lake or ocean) on the swim leg of the triathlon?”

I am traveling this week to compete in the Jamaica Triathlon, and will answer your burning questions (using my video camera) on the topic of how to stay fit or eat right when you’re traveling. To ask your question simply call 1-877-209-9439, Skype to username “pacificfit”, or ask a question on the BenGreenfieldFitness Facebook page.
