Sleep Deprivation
Today was a total loss. First, I was completely exhausted from not sleeping well on Monday night then having to stay up late to pick Brian up at the airport Tuesday. It was a very long two days I just couldn’t seem to break out of the sleep deprived daze today. I kept telling myself that I would go downstairs and take a nap and that would fix everything but then I just couldn’t do it. I needed more than a nap. I needed to go home and get in bed. I needed Olympic level sleeping.
Also, for some reason my coach didn’t give me any workouts this week. At first I thought it was just because I had already filled a few things in, like our clinic on Tuesday. This morning I realized there was no sign that he’s looked at my account at all. I’m not sure if my expectations are too high or what but I continue to have this issue with my coaches. The one thing I ask, the only thing really, is that I know what I’m supposed to be doing more than 24-hours in advance! I ended up sending an email to him asking what I was supposed to do today.
In the end, I wasn’t able to do his workout anyway because I was way too tired. I opted for a lower intensity workout instead. I wasn’t able to get out of the house until after dinner because I had to take a nap before I could ride. It was 7:30 before I headed out and that meant I wasn’t back in the house until almost 9:00. The result is that it’s 9:30 and I am not in bed so the sleep deprivation cycle continues. It’s sometimes stunning how easy it is to fuck up really simple things like going to bed on time.
I’m supposed to race the driveway tomorrow if I feel better. Here’s to hoping I sleep well for once.
