Howdy from San Diego,
Did anyone else think from Anchorman, that San Diego was always sunny? So did I... Wrong.
Back to that in a minute. Last I signed off, we were heading down to a crit. It was a nice day, and 10 of us took a spin from Buellton down to Santa Barbara, for the Moth Balls Criterium. Legs were tired, but proceeded to get better. We started the crit, fresh of yesterdays win, and wanted to do it again. So the team was in attack mode. One after the other, the guys attempted to rip legs off. I was under orders to sit in, and did just that, hanging near the front, but not touching the wind. Near the end of the race it was looking like a field sprint, and we all started moving to the front to set up the train. I took a couple of primes (after someone from the team took all the others!) and then sat in as the door man behind Matti, Kobza, and Jones. Behind me were 5 more, with Joe being the final man. The big man flatted with 2 laps to go, and then we ended up getting 2nd. We had control the entire race, and 9 guys lined up for the last 8 laps, but being the first leadout of the year, messed up just a bit. A positive is the error was realized after, and we vowed not to let it happen again.
Mon-Thurs were chill super relax days. I have been getting to bed at 9:30 and sleeping until 7:30. I spent the entire camp extremely tired. It was all I could do to keep my eyes open past 8pm. Legs were dead too. So Monday-Thurs, I was in recover mode. I got a massage every day, and did some riding. I did 3 hours easy on Tuesday, and then 3.5 hours hard on Wednesday. I have been upping my lantus to 16 by Thursday. Breakfast everyday was great. I had the Dutch Pancakes from Ellen's in Buellton. May have been the best ever! By the end of the week, I was beginning to feel rested. I got back to my roots, and did some Yoga Friday am, and plan to do it at least 3 more times before the start of Cali. It really helps me a lot, and felt I needed it before some racing.
Racing... In Sunny San Diego. Joe, Willem, and I took off Fri am from SB, and headed down for the 4 hour drive to San Diego. Had a sand which for lunch before the drive, and then did another 6 units of Apidra on the way down to get a good BG by ride time. As soon as we got hear, ate some food, and got on the bike for 1.5 hrs. We all did 3 sprints, and I got 3rd in them all. I used to have a good sprint, but no more... But, the legs felt good, real good. I finally had the snappy feeling that you have when things are good. Felt confident going to the race. Weather forecast showed for 50 and raining. Brought the right clothing for that forecast. BUT, instead it was 30ish and snowing on the line. I had no booties, no gloves, no beanie, and new it was a bad decision to be on the line. Went hard off the go trying to warm up, legs, but to no avail. Legs felt good, but after about 15 minutes, and no feeling in the hands, I flipped it and headed back to the car.
This was kind of like having a hypo, with no Dex 4, or sugar around. ??? You may ask. Moral of the story here is that, in diabetes, bike racing, or life in general, always be prepared. If I would have brought the right clothing, I would be writing a different tale right now.
Going to go with 16.5 u Lantus tonight. 15.5 had me high last night, and I need a good nights sleep. May have to eat more on the ride, but better than waking up to give a shot in the night.
Sorry for the lack of any sort of detail here, but my fingers are still frozen, as is my mind...
Criterium tomorrow, and hopefully some sunshine. Keep your fingers crossed.
Thanks for reading.
Phil

5. In fact the term zombie came from the region and refers to persons who have undergone such a
