So last night I had a really weird dream about a swim to bike transition. Here goes:
I come out of the water FOP, and I race into T1 to get on my bike fast so I can be in the lead. All of a sudden I notice that the transition area does not reselmble the place where I had put my bike. It took me about 2 minutes to figure it out, but I had put my bike near some tent about 50 yards away next to a lady with a sun umbrella. So I run out of T1 (wetsuit still on) onto the bike course to get to my bike. The strange thing is that the lady with the umbrella is no longer there and my bike is upside-down next to a trash can. The water bottles are gone, but the rest of the bike looks OK. In my haste to get back going and back into the race, I forgot to take my wetsuit off. After a couple of miles, I feel very hot. Looking down, I realize that my wetsuit is still on and that I have forgotten cycling shoes…
This is when I woke up and thought…whoa that was really weird. I tried to go to sleep and get back into that dream to see what was going to happen, but I wasn’t able to.
Has anyone else had weird triathlon dreams like this?
Not for Tris, but I have woken up in a sweaty panic thinking that I just realized I have a final exam in college for a class I never knew I had and that I must pass it to graduate and it’s like Organic Chemistry and I was a business major.
I have weird triathlon dreams too, but that one definately takes the cake! Mine usually involve missing the start, or running a portion of the race through someone’s house. The only missing bike one I had was one where I came back to the transition area and the only thing there was my pedals.
I had a bad tri dream a while back. I was in my first IM, and I forgot the swim was two loops. I was all the way into T1 when I realized that I had only done half the swim. IN the dream, I started crying because I couldn’t decide if I should go back and finish the swim or just drop out or what.
Fortunately, in my first IM last week, I did both swim loops!!
Not the usual one I have where I strip off my wetsuit and I’m naked, at which point I look down and all my stuff (inclucing the wetsuit I just stripped off) is gont. Just me, my bike - with the shoes clipped in and the helmet sitting on the aeros…
I’m trying to work that dream so I have my clothes and the women are nekkid, but so far no luck.
Real life cyclocross nightmare. Field of about 35. They had us leave our bikes at the top of a long steep hill and run up from the bottom to start the race. I get to the top of the hill about 10th place, and can’t find my bike. Guys are running past, grabbing bikes and sprinting away.I was sure someone stole it or was big time goofing on me. After everyone else was 20 yards into their race, I spot my bike laying on the ground, right where I left it. I’m sure I looked real stupid running back and forth looking for it.
I dreamnt the other night that somehow, I left behind my disc… I couldn’t for the life of me understand why I only left my disc and that just kept replaying itself until I finally woke and had to figure out if I just left behind a $1000 wheel.
just last night I had a dream I was eating dinner with my family and it suddenly hit me that I was suppost to run a marathon that morning, but forget to go!
