I want you to commit to trying this experiment for me. What is it? Most people in my world right now are training in the morning. One of the things that I know about their behaviors is they've gone the whole night, haven't anything, have gone the whole morning, and maybe they've had some coffee. What you have not had is any water. Likely.'ve had coffee. Likely. You haven't had any water and you haven't had any electrolytes. And what's happening is you're going pretty hard.

And I got into bed, you were traveling with the girls and I was running a

fever. I remember this. And I turned that thing way down and I was like, oh, this is the best
