I had a bizarre dream last night that I thought I should add to this thread.
I was running an indoor race, but it wasn't until a half lap in that I realized that the race was an indoor steeple chase. After the first lap, they led us off the track and through the halls. It turned out that they were leading us to the water barrier, which due to the constraints of the indoor facility, was located in the bathroom and consisted of a movable steeple hurdle pushed up against a trough-style urinal (I guess that was the only place water was available).
So every lap, we left the track, stomped through a bunch of teams camped out around the track, meandered through the halls, hurdled this weird bathroom water barrier, and then ran back through the halls to return to the track. Eventually I got lost on my way to the steeple barrier and ended up wandering the halls trying to get back into the race.
