Steamboat Triathlon - my THIRD triathlon and my first in the Team Kit!!!(with my BAD KITTY socks)
So, today's race went well and bad - all at the same time! How is this possible?
My race plan was as follows:
8:05 - Swim wave start
8:55 - Swim wave end
9:00 - Bike start
10:30 - Bike end
10:35 - Run start
11:35 - Run end
Blood glucose goals = 100-180
Reality -
5:30 - Breakfast, BG=125, 54 Carbs, 3.25u bolus (60% of normal)
7:30 - Out of transition, BG=163, 1.6u IOB (50:1 ratio, so PERFECT!)
8:05 - swim start
8:45 - Swim end, T1 begin
**T1 ---- BG=277, 1.0 (cautious) correction bolus, 1/2 Nalgene Accelerade (10 CHO), 1 POWERADE GEL (17 CHO)
8:48 - T1 end, Bike begin
**1 fig newton every 25 minutes on the bike (3*15CHO=45 CHO) + 1 tall H2O bottle with Accelerade (20 CHO) + 1 regular H2O bottle, plain
10:11 - Bike end, T2, begin
**T2 --- BG=366 (yikes!), 2.5u correction bolus, 1/2 Nalgene Accelerade (10 CHO)
10:14 - T2 end, run begin, set temp basal (80% for 4 hours to prevent post exercise lows)
***4 cups of water on course (approx 4 oz per cup = 16 oz water), 2 at first mile and 1 at following 2 rest stops (each mile)
10:40 - during run, BG = 392
*** take 1 electrolyte capsule with H2O at mile 3
11:05 - FINISH!!! (30 minutes ahead of my outloud goal finish and 15 minutes ahead of my secret goal finish time!)
***BG = 374, 3.10u correction
11:20 - full Nalgene with Accelerade (20 CHO) + Builder Bar (20 PRO, 30 CHO), 2.5u insulin (50% of normal food bolus)
12:00 - BG=372
1:00 - BG=258, eat 'lunch', approx 25 CHO, bolus 'normal' 2.5u, 2.68 IOB (perfect for correction!)
2:00 - 235
4:00 - 60, .68 IOB ---> argh!
Carbs eaten during race/event = 102 CHO/3hours = 34 CHO/hr (30-60CHO/hr recommended)
H2O during race/event = 92 oz = 31oz/hr (yeah!)
Times:
Swim - 39:59.6
T1 - 3:23.7
Bike - 1:22:37.4
T2 - 2:49.6
