Dan, the single biggest benefit I’ve heard about coffee is that it supposedly improves human performance.

Wait… so you’re telling me I’m supposed to be ** 81% ** water now? Geesh!

In all honesty, I’ve had days where I didn’t have time to get coffee and I was amazed at how alert and awake water kept me. That being said, let’s hear about some of the possible benefits from coffee!

I will have a little bit of what Calvin is drinking please, better make it a double. Just reading these posts I am getting thirsty.

Did “Rowing Nicole” and subbed 500M row in for the run. Cut into the total rounds but it was better than a freezing run. 6 full rounds + some row meters. Rounds of 25-25-25-25-25-25.

Water is the best. A good source of cheap caffeine that some people swear by is tea (green or black, in 100 bag boxes or bulk). Work travel through next Thursday will keep me away from San Diego, but will try to follow workouts as time and logistics allow.

Cheers.

X-Tina you are awesome! Miss you dang nabbit! Mmmm Good- awesome on the Bar Basic pizza snub, it’s not worth it. Thanks for the meal drop-off. I am lost without my meal- literally. Cheese and nuts for dinner makes me cranky and I felt like I was hallucinating.

Nice work Christina!! Looking strong! How’s your POSE practice going? You’re going to have to help make me practice. My calves and ankles were sore for a week after less than a mile of running!

Nice post Dani. Water over coffee is definitely not my first choice either, but it is a much smarter choice. I’ll try to change my java ways…at least for the afternoon blahs…

Great post, Dani!

As a rule of thumb, I try to have water near me at all times during the day. If it is within reach I tend to drink more of it more often.

I will admit, however, it is hard to refuse a great cup of 2-6 espresso shots, and steamed whole milk and heavy whipping cream. Yumm-o.

Happy Friday everyone! It was my rest day today and my body definitely needed it. Wondering how the thicker bars treated everyone on those pull-ups? Were scores higher or lower then last time?

Tim – I would never suggest such a thing. All I’m saying is…if you are feeling sleepy drinking water instead of boat loads of coffee might be a more effective strategy.

Ken – Thank you for the additional information. I find that when I am in colder climates it is twice as hard to consume enough water. All I want is hot beverages (COFFEE).

Christina – I am sure that there are many who would agree with me when I say…there is nothing sexier than a strong and capable women just killing a WOD. You are beautiful and getting stronger and stronger each day. Nothing better than that.

M – excellent discipline…perhaps next Friday (treat day) you will indulge in a slice of pizza and a beer. If so, I’m all in.

Nate Dogg, sorry I missed you. Hope all is well and you will come visit again soon.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and that I get to see you all at the 8:30 or 10:00 class tomorrow.
