Coffee ban is (temporarily) off

My view
Enjoying a large cup of black coffee this AM while I study and write stuff (like this post).  The coffee ban has been temporarily lifted during the triathlon recovery period (about a week).  I think abstaining from coffee for the 2 months prior to the race helped - I was then able to take advantage of the well-demonstrated performance-enhancing benefits of caffeine that were unavailable to me when I was habitually drinking coffee.  I had 2 cups of coffee at the hotel the morning of the race, and enjoyed a couple espressos on Monday.  Now I am having more black coffee.  Delicious!  But a rare treat for me now.
