Re: I was so tired that I ...

It was an odd experience. I was probably saved by the well marked, fairly straight trail.

 

I'm currently training for a 1/2 Ironman in Sept in Clermont, FL.  I've got of sprints planned for the summer but that will be my big race for the year.

 

How about you?  Training for anything special?

Re: I was so tired that I ...

Fell asleep in a McDonalds parking lot along side the interstate at 2PM one day (during a long drive).  My office called, the HR director asked 'what are you going', to which I answered "sleeping, till you woke me up".  At that point I realized I was in the car not in my bed and it was the middle of the day.

Re: I was so tired that I ...

 

When I get solid in my training and the distances start to creep up I cut out all recreational caffeine (pop, some tea, etc...) and restrict myself to caffeine only for long training sessions as a boost.

 

 

This leads, always, to falling asleep; in meetings, at my desk in the middle of conversations with co-workers, on the couch before my kids, while reading a story to my daughter, while talking on the phone at home, in the car while in the parking lot.

 

 

In prepping for my next race I've cut out caffeine this past week, so far I've been lucky and only crashed out on the couch in the evening and spent the days yawning.

Within the past few years I've started to fall asleep so easily.. and anywhere!

 

 

Once at a stop sign (luckily, my foot was heavy enough to hold the break down until the car behind me honked) & I always fall asleep at the movie theatre, even in loud action films! Sometimes my body will jump... SUPER EMBARASSING!

Yes, it's called the myoclonic jerk.  It's the involuntary sudden contractions of the big body muscles while falling asleep.  Some say it's because your heart rate and breathing slow down rapidly, and your brain may interpret this as your body dying,  so it sends an electrical pulse to your muscles to wake them up again.

 

One of the many things I learned from watching House.

Went right into the men's room instead of the ladies' after a tough brick session on Friday.

 

 

Fortunately discovered my mistake when I found myself staring at a wall full of unfamiliar...urinals.

Re: I was so tired that I ...

Haha! I've done that before, and wasn't I even tired, just on my cell phone and not paying attention. I walked into the men's restroom and all I hear is "wrong bathroom sweetheart!"  .. (luckily he seemed intoxicated enough not to really care... & hopefully not remember my face)
