It appears that way....
Pretty sure there would be a health forum somewhere that would be more useful for some

I much prefer when the forum inspired me to go smell my fins

I had to get out of bed to use the toilet also, this disappeared within 1 month.

Cannot recommend it enough.
Expect double costs as your significant other will complain about how you look and wants the same.

So to get this discussion back into our sport, my problem with having to pee too often is--tada--wetsuits.

My drysuit for winter use is has a pee zipper, but it does not help much when you have 4 warming layers on underneath.

Somebody once said there are three kinds of windsurfers: (1) those who pee in their wetsuits but don't tell anybody about it, (2) those who pee in their wetsuits and brag about it, and (3) those who pee in their wetsuits and don't notice.

Lots of ageing windsurfers here now Dezza. Not like us at all.

Sorry, looks like you are just giving your opinion, which is fine, but wrong in this case. See bottom where they talk about the benefits of caffeine in swimming!

Here is another good discussion about caffeine and endurance with references that include links to peer reviewed publications.

Caffeine And The Endurance Athlete BY PACIFIC HEALTH LABORATORIES

Caffeine is a naturally occurring chemical compound that functions in the body mainly as a mild nervous system stimulant. It has been shown to enhance performance in sprints, in all-out efforts lasting 4-5 minutes, and in longer performance tests.

Performance And Caffeine
It appears caffeine enhances performance in shorter events through four interrelated neuromuscular effects:
Lowering the threshold for muscle recruitment.
Altering excitation contraction coupling.
Facilitating nerve impulse transmission.
Increasing ion transport within muscles.

In longer events, caffeine delays fatigue by reducing the athlete's perception of effort. It increases the concentration of hormone-like substances in the brain called beta-endorphins during exercise. The endorphins affect mood state, reduce perception of pain, and create a sense of well-being. Caffeine has also been found to delay fatigue during exercise by blocking adenosine receptors on fat cells. As a result, caffeine increases the level of free fatty acids in the bloodstream and thereby increases fat burning during exercise. This latter effect of caffeine used to be considered the major mechanism by which it enhanced endurance performance, but it is now known to be a minor factor. In fact, for those who normally maintain a high-carbohydrate diet it is virtually a non-factor. A number of studies have shown significant performance increases in various endurance disciplines following caffeine ingestion. In one study, elite runners improved their time in a treadmill run to exhaustion by 1.9% with caffeine. Caffeine boosted time to exhaustion in a cycling test by 15 minutes in another study. And in a study involving swimmers, caffeine was found to enhance performance in maximal-effort swims of up to 25 minutes'

Though I did not hear from too many about how coffee affects their endurance, that was my question!

I'm not saying caffeine won't make you faster etc I'm saying the only way it does that is psychological, as it states in the first line of what you posted, 'changes perception of effort'. You cannot burn fat for energy when exercising at a decent level, a fast walk or maybe a gentle jog is about the limit and still the only time your body will turn to fat is if it has run out of carbs/sugars and it is very inefficient.On a side note trainingpeaks is a terrible source for this sort of info, we'll know for writing marketing material.

if caffeine worked believe me every pro athlete ( I was one) would be taking it but the fact is hardy and do. If you want to gain performance drink beet juice, way more effective and your pee will be a fun colour.

No I don't think so, the only question I can find in the first post is this: "Anyone else have this issue with coffee?"

As for myself, no I don't have the pissing problem...

What is your age?

Seriously after re reading this thread. I'm thinking you may have a brain tumour that's affected your lack of insight, personality (in a narcissistic attention seeking sort of a way) and your thought process, it's not normal to disclose such personal information on a public forum and carry on in such depth about it. I keep telling you, go see a Dr there's something not right.
