I didn't know quite which category to post this under, figures this was my best shot.

Quite often, after a heavy workout, when i take a shower I seem to be emitting this strong aerosol odor, like hairspray. Does anyone have any idea what the heck could be causing this?
I don't wear hairspray, or gel or any other hair products, so it's not that.

Has anyone else experienced this, or heard of this?

If you use the same shower products when you have not had a workout do you emit the same odour?

What time of day are you noticing the strong smell? If it's early in the morning your nose could be much more sensitive.

Has anyone else noticed or commented on the smell?

No one else has noticed it. It doesn't matter what time of day. It only occurs after an intense ride or workout on the trainer. I use the same cleaning stuff regardless and I actually start to smell it before I get to the shower. It's a product of the workout.
