Now that I’ve quit my job of 15 years, I anticipate quite a different lifestyle. Days will now be at my pace. I will go to bed and wake up when I please.
My natural tendency is to lean toward night owl. On one hand I love that because there’s something cool about doing things while everyone else is sleeping. On the other, I’m sliding into a bad sleep pattern.
Last year I slept 3 hours before Ironman Wisconsin and I would barely call it a solid nap. I’m not sure what’s going to happen at Louisville, but I know I have to get at least six hours . . . and do it without oversleeping the race start!
I’ve had nightmares of running to the dock and screaming, “Don’t pull up the timing mat!” I wait in my swimskin as they put it back in place, calibrate the computer, then scream at me to “get the fuck in the water!”
Yeah, so here’s to a good night sleep in the “Ville.”
