Skate-Dream Interpretation?

Warning: silly post!

I had a GREAT dream last night. I dreamed I was was skating in the US10k Classic in the lead women's pack, about 6th position with about 1.5 miles to go. I was hanging back, finding it pretty easy going in the draft and was frustrated that these women were deliberately going slowly so they could blast it at the end (like they often do in the Tour de France). Then a men's fast pack blew by us, and I decided "Oh I don't care if it's too far from the finish for me to conceivably win in a sprint, I'm just gonna go now because that men's pack looks like more fun...". So I stepped out of line and started hammering up the hill when the two skinny blonde gals in the front, who were wearing some kind of Stars and Stripes uniforms, started freaking out and picked up the speed. At that point in the dream I realized "Oops! I haven't skated since A2A", and found I had zero power in my quads. I ended up finishing 4th overall women (this is a dream, remember?!), and was well chuffed with myself for finishing so well. After finishing I saw that there were actually only 7 women competing in the whole race, so it wasn't that great an accomplishment after all (like getting 3rd in my age group at A2A!!!).

Atlanta's talented skater Cindy Spalding congratulated me, then she turned into Sarah Jessica Parker.

It felt good to be skating again, even if only in my dreams. Maybe it's time to get back out there again!
