After work I was able to get out and meet my good friend Greg Smith from the Tricyclists Bicycle Racing Club. This would be some type of record as I would actully being riding my road bike for the second day in a row. :)
At 16:36 as I traveled to the appointed rendezvous location (The UNC Wellness Center) I set a pre-ride temp basal rate of a 70% reduction. Greg was running a little behind, so I headed out by myself at 17:35 to meet him in town.
I warmed up, and did a few laps of the old Meadowmont Crit Course, before heading up to me him. I was feeling a little odd, so I stopped back at the car and did a quick BG check. Yup a little low at 51. Hmmm.... My twitter post of the BG was:
"Well, this is the ugly. Temp basal currently 85% reduct. Ride start in 26mins. Taking in Cs & crossing fingers. Damn."
Was able to catch up with Greg in downtown Chapel Hill by 18:15, and we headed out into the "country" to do the road ride. I was still feeling the affects of the hill work I did yesterday, and warned Mr. Smith that he wouldn't need to swing to hard to hurt me.
As is usual, I had a great time. Greg knows a TON and we leave the testosterone at home when we ride together.
BG was able to recover during the ride, and I was able to hang in there ok. Not setting the world on fire, but...
During the ride I dropped my wheel off the pavement onto the grass and gravel. This was too funny, and it was noted that I was probably freaking out riding on the paved road.
About 30 minutes before I arrived back at the truck, I set my basal rate back to normal.
I was at an OK BG of 117 when I arrived back at the car, and I did bolus 3.25u to prevent the typical post ride BG whip.
When I arrived home our friend Lou from Austin, TX was waiting. He was in town for a business trip, and was gracious enough to come by for a visit. Thanks LD!!
Set the standard post ride over night temp basal to 75%.
