It’s taper week; why sleep?

I couldn’t sleep last night. I was sweating heavily on and off; tossing and turning. I just was ill at ease. My wife was subsequently grumpy this morning too for having been an unwilling witness to this night of torture. At first I was worried I might have the flu. I feel good, though, so that’s not it. I didn’t dream or talk in my sleep, my usual signs of stress. But I’m chalking this up to anxiety. I thought hard about sleeping in and not doing my tempo ride this morning. But I got up anyway and did it. I’ll catch up on my sleep tonight.

Bike goes in to LBS today for a prerace tuneup and race wheel cassette change . Zipp 808’s, I can’t wait to try those babies out! I hope they hum a little bit ( like a disc).

My thoughtful family got me “chariots of fire” for inspiration. I haven’t seen it since it came out. I’m hoping it has a hero ending (I just don’t remember).
