Yes, but you have stated on multiple occasions that you follow a very rigid and structured plan. You get on the rollers, do your workout, hit your numbers, then go on with your day - heck, I remember you pulling out the rollers and riding in the deck by your car when you came down here to visit. Your experience supports MattM's comment that fewer hours necessitates greater structure.
OP, on the other hand, has, on multiple occasions questioned the necessity of a coach or rigid plan.
That said, of all the Cat 1s I know, I think you are the exception, as most had ample time to ride.
