Waking Up to the Big Day...

It was suggested we be at the site around 6:30am.
It is an hour drive from my house.
I have to pick up KP on the way - add 15 minutes.
So my alarm went off at 4:45am.
And as mentioned previously - the hill had me tossing and turning and my nerves were a little unsettled as to what had I gotten myself into.
Right before waking I had this very vivid dream...
In the dream my mom decided that she was not going to come watch me race. Instead she and my dad had decided that they were going to ride out to the beach. They don't get to see the beach that often and it would be a nice day to take a drive. Of course they live at the beach so I was livid! I was so mad in my dream. When my alarm went off - I awoke with clenching teeth. And I was still kind of pissy when I heard my mom upstairs moving about making her way down stairs to wish me luck. And somewhere in there I realised - bitch your dad was there in your dream and that is the only place you ever get to see him any more so chill.
I was still grumpy by the time my mom made it to the kitchen but that had everything to do with the overall lack of sleep. And the dream - it came back to haunt me at least twice on that lone bike ride...
I made coffee - probably not a good hydrating choice but at that hour I just needed som caffeine.
I made some scrambled eggs for KP and I. And loaded the cooler with other breakfast items (thanks JC on the food ideas - I think the yogurt suggestion worked well).
And off I went down the dark road to KP's house. And man was it dark and COLD!
Nothing like riding down the highway at 5:30am in the dark and cold with 2 bikes strapped to the back of my car... Who has possessed my body beacuse surely this is not the norm for me.
