I am guilty

Yah, I’m a dope…
Does coffee to flush the system out pre-race count? If so…that’s it.
About 8 years ago I went on what was the prescription version of Allie. I had orange anal drippage that smelled like french fries.
Should we form a DoperMafia?
And yes, caffeine to flush your system counts. You used a “drug” to go faster =)
oh
wonderful!

Vote for most disgusting post of the month!!
Red Bull and Endurox
During what part of the race do you use that cocktail? I’m seriously considering it…
I admit, shamefully, that I am a caffeine addict…well maybe not an addict…no I do NOT have a problem…Maybe I should go to rehab for 24 hours or less…hahah
nope, but I do take gu and shot blox that have caffeine in it for races, and have coffee each day…maybe I AM one after all!!
“I use caffeine in races purely to enhance performance.”
Me, too. Also on training rides.
I may re-evaluate my (whole life!) endurance training after reading the Mark Sissin article today.
This stuff is now over the counter and chains like wlagreens push it like mad.

How did it taste?

Edurox tabs when I wake up and red bull about 1/2 hour before. I only do red bull before sprint or oly, not 1/2IM or Full. Longer races I get caffeine from coke on run when I really need it.

Like shit. 
I drank 5 beers with 15 miles to go at RAGBRAI two days ago… Does that count?
I used Nasonex steroidal nose spray for allergies one year. I think that counts as doping. (My nose was huge though!!)
no, that doesn’t count. get the hell out of here!
I use caffiene to wake up in the am of a race, and I premedicate with Ibuprofen…I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, and trying to run more than a mile or two will be a bad thing later without a little NSAID. So, I guess I’m guilty.

“Do not mix these two together,” said the harsh voice of experience. “Dis-gusting.”
