well this is where

The narrator chimes in and says, nope, didn't fall asleep early, or sleep in.

Kind of like I'm old and sleep has become habituated or something.

So I said f'it and made a second large mug of coffee. had a rescheduled service visit, from all day to after lunch, open morning. Slow start in a quiet house with the dogs. How can I not have a second cup? And yeah maybe cutting it with de-caf is a good idea. Maybe I should do that at work. Hmmm. better idea than cutting the morning stuff.

took a look at the freetown results from last year. 4-6 hours to ride the 50 miles, there is one Clydesdale signed up now, will there be two? Was thinking about riding the single speed today but maybe I'll ride the big mt bike, it is dumb for commuting but still fun, even if slow, and if I am going to do the whole marathon bike thing maybe a little saddle time is a good idea.

Kind of wish i had one of the KF commute options that was all dirt and trail. My path is pretty awesome but it is paved and there's a few bits of trail here and there but not much of significance between here and work.

Maybe i can deal with the fatigue by just not creating more? Or at least relaxing and chilling as much as possible when possible. Aka take advantage of openings in the schedule to do something normal people do: rest. Not sleep so much as just doing nothing, the way most people sit down and watch TV or read a book at night. Not run a million miles an hour all day and then sleep.

Now that i've had an extra day to think about it - i'm now pissed at myself for the lapse and getting lapped. I shouldn't have been...  but it is what it is and nothing to do now except try and remember the lesson for the next race.

No more rambling, it is kind of nice how quiet it is here, just the clacking of the keyboard and the dog snoring. And the occasional bird.

Oh and bonus for the Freetown? Less than a 40 min drive there, aka it is really close.

still fence sitting though, pre-reg doesn't close until friday night, lots of time to contemplate and over-think it.
