How is it that I turn in to a zombie race morning?
Okay, maybe not exactly a zombie – I am not craving human flesh. But the alarm goes off and my first thought is usually, “Why did I sign up for this race? I just want to sleep in!” Even for big races that I have been training for… I sometimes have these thoughts.
And the race I am doing today doesn’t even start until 9:00 am. Ha! Granted, we were up until close to 1:00 am. Anyway…
Do any of you pop out of bed a bundle of energy race morning? Or do you stumble out zombie-style?
This probably has to do with the fact that I usually sleep poorly the night before a race, and my body just wants more sleep when the alarm goes off.

I am a zombie when I wake up for race day. It takes me a half hour to fully wake up. I mean I get ready and all that but once I get to the race site then I wake up. If that doesnt work I just blast loud techno music on my iphone before the race.
I struggle with sleep sooo much, so I definitely don’t sleep well the night before.
I immediately go for that coffee race morning!
Have fun!!
Every morning I stumble out..unless I am up all night long. Yay to Amanda for winning!
I think it’s because races are on the weekend and on weekends I just want to sleep in since I don’t get that option during the week!
Almost every Saturday this past summer, when my alarm would go off for my long run, my first thought was “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY.” Now that the marathon is over, I have yet to make it to one weekend group run. Because I want to sleep in, and since it’s not hot, I don’t have to run early. Today I slept until 11:30!!!!! That’s kind of crazy even for me.
