I rolled up the hill and raced the Beat the Clock TT on Saturday morning on exactly 2 hours of sleep. Time was a good minute slower than when I raced it in April. FML.
The sleep deprivation was weird. It didn't hurt to race, I just couldn't turn the cranks like I wanted. Even at the end of the race I felt sleepy and all day I had full-body muscle weakness. Also I'm back to being fat as ****. Cry.
