Race morning in Cape Town. You worked hard on learning to sleep better, so how did you actually sleep last night, not how you hoped to?
I spent the whole year learning how to sleep, and that, to me, is a big accomplishment, because before that year I was averaging probably 4 hours of sleep a night. Now I know how to regularly get 6 to 7 hours, and sometimes upwards of 9. Those are more rare, but I at least know the process, and I feel better. I feel more energized and more refreshed. I definitely know when my body is devoid of sleep, and that feeling in itself is never fun.
I've definitely become more attuned, and going into race week I don't feel behind on sleep. I think I did a great job of resting before the big day, and now it's about just making sure we get all the hydration, nutrients, and all the other non-running elements down. I'm about to get ready, grab breakfast, and start to chug water and electrolytes.
