Maybe it's the coffee

After intentionally dehydrating myself for 24 hours (we are piloting a dehydration study in the lab), I wasn't really expecting much out of my workout today. But, as soon as 3pm hit and I could have fluids again, I downed as much nuun as I could plus a tall dark roast from Starbucks. I didn't have time to do my intervals outside, so I did them on my Kinetic Rock n Roll trainer. Well....let me just say, I had the highest average and max power I had ever seen in this workout today. Maybe it was the caffeine? But, my weight is also down, and so is body fat. So..it is definitely a good day, it's nice to see things heading in the right direction...all thanks to Coach K for the training advice, Eddie/55nine for the technique advice and bike setup, and to my Sports Nutritionist (aka, me, myself and I) for the solid diet and nutrition advice :-) I have been doing a little dietary "experiment" lately and it seems to be working. So far, I am feeling good about the summer racing...at the very least, this will keep me motivated.
