Well, that's a new one

  2006 Mt. Diablo Hill Climb

I haven't blogged raced in a while, but on the calendar for today was the Mt. Diablo Hill Climb (which is actually an individual time trial, not a mass start race), and I do love me some Mt. Diablo, so I signed up. And in the last few hours of sleep this morning, I had a new variation on the pre-race-anxiety dream: I was on the way to the race in Walnut Creek, which is 45 minutes away by car, and I realized that I was trying to ride my bike there. Oops, I was supposed to drive there - I'll never make it at this rate, I thought as I turned around and started sprinting for home.

What really happened: I woke up on time, drove to the race, didn't forget anything, and finished 14th out of 21 in Cat 4.

In this dream, did you have the trainer strapped onto the back of the bike?

Funny thing, no. I guess riding the 30 miles to Walnut Creek would have been enough of a warmup.
