Does anyone have a problem sleeping the night before a race ?
I usually sleep like a baby but every time I have a race the next day, it's impossible. I'm not really a nervous person and don't get worked up about races, but there is a gremlin that won't let me sleep - at all, not one minute. It's frustrating because I know I'm capable of doing a lot better in races because I train well, ride well and people say I've got a lot of potential. It's so bad that I've nearly fallen asleep on the start line before and people that I know I'm better than are beating me and I'm fed up with using the excuse - ''I haven't slept''.
I can't be alone on this - has anyone else been there and found a cure ?
