I don't know if 4 cups of coffee before a race is worth the 3.3% gains...

I quit twice...once for my wife when our first hold was coming ( sympathy caffeine rehab since she wasn't having any during pregnancy), and another time for I don't know why.

Intense headaches for about a month both times.

My Brain is much happier with caffeine in the system.

wow, I'm pretty addicted and I think the longest the headaches have lasted when I quit is a couple of days. But life is so empty without caffeine. I stopped once because my doctor advised it. Should have stopped drinking beer instead. I am down to one cup of full-test nowadays. Lots of decaf though. I was on a 400k 2 weeks ago, and had some coffee nut m&m's at 2am. Sugar and caffeine, perfect food at the time.
