    8.38 miles tonight. Still in early stages of experimenting with Ucan again for BG management. This time, I was low before the run around 3:30p and had to treat. Suspended insulin pump around 3:30pm Was at a good number (i.e. not quite low, but too close for comfort to start running) by 4pm and I took 2 scoops of Ucan (40g net carbs with slow release) and kept pump in suspend. By 5:30, I was dropping (ugh, why?!) slightly. I know that the protein from chicken breast will spike me in 1-2 hrs. after eating if I don't take insulin (due to gluconeogenesis), so I ate 2 lbs. 4.4 oz. of chicken breast around 5:45pm and went running at 6pm. Pump still suspended, and I had 16g of dextrose while out running. Finished with a BG of 73, but it felt like a good run and I had energy most of it. So the Ucan or the chicken or something worked.

    TL;DR - T1D sucks, BG management sucks, and it isn't fair. :'(

    Question: Now that I'm more or less in "HM shape" all of the time, what do I do between races that are three months apart?
    My suggestion is based on my own personal experience - I try to cycle through the last 3-4 weeks of the training program so it gives me a build and taper without huge changes in distance. Change a few into Trail runs and add a Track speed sessions on alternate weeks. A young lady in our club is referred to as Coach ChelChel ( Chelsey ) at the track as she has acquired/copied/designed a massive collection of track sessions based on Olympic Athlete's favorite/most hated workouts.
    The simplest Pyramid repeats - trying to maintain pace on 400m sections.
    800m easy warm-up - run the corner easy, 400m @ 80%, run the corner easy, 400m 100%, Easy Corner, 800m 80%, EC, 800m 100%, EC, 1200m 100%, 400m Easy, 800m 100%, EC, 400m 100%, 800m easy cooldown or repeat the pyramid 100% effort runs ( no 80% runs ). Some of the speedier Road Runners will add in a 1600m.
    @lporter229 Pictures never do viewpoints justice, Love the look of the bush trails.

    Dh is insane. He said he wanted to sign up for a 5k this/next weekend. Knock it out, but im not ready. So he signs us up for a championship dualathon next month. Gah! I'm going to be last, last last of lasts. Farts. Come on!

    What do i need to know? I dont have a tri bike. I dont have the typical attire or knowledge. I don't look the part.

    They're all gonna be "who the xxx is this lame ssss person?" Not the iron Nun!

    Its a rather manageable distance. 3k run, 22k bike, 3k run and hilly. But I am not ready for competition. Not not not not not... Help!

    @Elise4270 Well first off you still called him DH - so it can't be all bad.
    Bike - it's such a short distance that a Tri/Road bike is not required. With out DH knowing have slick tires installed on your bike B) , and maybe soften the tire on his bike ( 15-20lbs air ) >:)o:);) giving you just the smallest advantage. Me bad ???
    In all seriousness we have a Fall Sprint Tri-athlon ( 750m Pool Swim, 20km bike, 5 km run ) and it is seen as an introductory event for newbs. Also an end of season for most of the local Triathletes. So we have people on mountain bikes, 3 speed cruisers, touring bikes with slicks ( my bike ), road bikes and a few tri-bikes. Staggered wave start on the pool swim means most weaker swimmers/bikers go out first then the jocks/jockettes last. This means that most people finish at about the same time even if you have a 1 hr head start = lots of people to cheer everyone in.

    And i need to buy some duathlon shorts i think... Or change?
    Maybe you need a Super Woman costume and a cape?

    @RespectTheKitty Well done on 3 spectacular miles.

    Sudden heat wave here 30C = 90F - okay that's a nice day for Texas/Georgia etc, for us it's brutal I see a swim tonight not a run.

    I did the hop / balance test. Passed. Must still have some of those dancer muscle memories. I may have wobbled a bit on my right side but I balanced lol I wobble through my single leg deadlifts too

    Made sure I did workout #2 from Strong Curves today! Getting my strength on this month.

    LOL! Thanks for the humor @juliet3455 ! I'm sure I'll be fine. Just a bit of panic since a race/competition wasnt in my plans for another 5 months. Ya know, "dh" can be a bit subjective. :blush:

    4 very slow miles this am. Did the hop and balance test passed. I'll need about 15 miles on Saturday if I want to have 40 miles this week. We'll see.

    @lporter229 - beautiful trail! I agree about the nature sounds - I rarely run with music because I prefer hearing all the critters.

    @marisap2010 - I see you're doing the Wineglass - in Corning? I'm signed up for that one too - but just the 1/2.

    People....I ran 5 miles!

    (It almost killed me, but I did it)

    Considering that at the beginning of May a single mile was painful, I think I'm doing ok :)

    No run tomorrow, and Sunday is race day. I'm super excited!

    Sometimes (often) the tickers just take a bit of time to update here. Usually if you close and reopen or refresh the page it will show correctly.
