I was reminded how much I need my sleep though earlier in the week. On Tuesday night I worked until 1am and so lost 3½ hours sleep - I was wrecked on Wednesday. I caught up a bit of sleep, but by Thursday and the club handicap race I wasn't able to push hard - I had nothing. Even so, my pace was pretty good and I knocked a minute off my PB, all without even getting up to marathon effort.
Fortunately I recovered well by Saturday, so didn't disgrace myself on the track.
Boy it's hot!
