Snippet: AQUAMAN IS STRUGGLING with his double chicken enchiladas. This is because on dry land, Aquaman, a.k.a. Michael Phelps, is the self-described "klutziest person on earth." It's late October, and a week ago Phelps tripped while climbing out of a car here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, reached to catch himself, and cracked his scaphoid. He's earned himself a short pin in the wrist, a few days out of the drink, and a club of a cast that's making an awkward affair out of one of his favorite pastimes—hunting down the 8,000 to 10,000 daily calories it takes to fuel the world's most dominant athletic machine. [Link]Bob Bowman is talked up too.

I remember telling my yoga school's owner in casual conversation the daily calorie ration for combat infantry in arctic conditions was between 8-10,000 calories a day and she flat out didn't believe me. Heaven only knows what her take would be on Phelp's going through the same calorie count because of swimming practices!
