you cant sleep

[malaholic]

I can't sleep before a big ride either. It's partly adrenaline, and partly that my brain just keeps running through its checklist..."pump the tires...pack spare tube...wear HR monitor" etc. During the ride I don't usually feel too tired despite missing sleep. As soon as I stop riding though, I promptly conk out.

Good luck on today's prep ride...post back and let us know how it goes!

So, jarider- did you have as much fun as we did? Heartbreak hill will certainly separate the boys from the women, eh?

hmmm not sure how much fun it was. I do know the fun ended before that last climb somewhere around mile 63. Just turned into a matter of pride and determination to finish on the bike.
