That's a GREAT idea. Wow. I should try it. No, really... Holy crap. That’s a GREAT idea.

Wow. I should try it. No, really…

I went through an 8oz bottle during this experiment, which means I drank 8 gallons in the two weeks I was drinking Base. But I tried to drink from my jug almost entirely, and I was training well over 20 hours/week. I figure the average triathlete drinking Base during and after workouts (key times for rehydration) would probably manage on an 8oz bottle for 4 to 5 weeks. Maybe we can get someone to spike the water cooler at their work and see if productivity goes up. I wonder, would Base Coffee drive caffeine into the system faster?

Though it seems like there were a lot of possible cofounders in your study, I'll still believe it enough to give it a shot. Anything that would give me a shot at aiding recovery is worth trying. Just like you said, I often work out in the evenings after work and can never quite get enough fluids in unlike earlier in the day. Thanks for being the guinea pig, Ben! Hmmm…interesting experiment.
