Howdy from Tucson,
What a place!! It has been over 80 every day I have been here. Sweating bullets and loving it. There is something to be said about just putting on shorts, and a jersey, and heading out for a ride, as opposed to the "is this going to be enough to stay warm, but not overheat??" that we all ask ourselves when it is cold, and/or wet.
Sometime last week I switched to the 2/xday basal. I have a 2 pronged reason for doing so. First, I need more of a basal at night, but not the pop that I get when first injecting basal. By this I mean, that if I put in 20u of basal, I will see a slight drop right away, which can cause the need to eat, and then go back up in the night. But if I do 10u, the "pop" is much less, and need for food after a 10u basal injection is not there.
Second, this Thursday I head off to Taiwan, which is a 12 hour time difference. If I was on 1 basal shot per day, I would most likely spend 5 days figuring out the adjustment. Now, it will be a very simple "insulin transition" to a brand new time zone. Back into the zone of riding last week. I thought it was going to be light, but was actually quite busy. I am in Tucson to do some sight inspections for hotels, for a potential TT1/TT2 conference in 2010. So I spent a lot of time doing that, and think we may have decided on the Star Pass Marriott, which will be a great location. I did 3.5 hrs Tues, 4hrs Wed, and then was very, very tired. It was nice having my metabolism get going again. I cut basal from a max of 22u basal last week, down to 16, and am now back up to 18. Insulin to carb ratios are coming back to normal, and after 2 nights of 10 hours of sleep, I am feeling pretty rested. Taiwan should be an interesting race. There will be a lot of real good competition there, which will make a few stage wins, and/or the overall very rewarding. It is by no means signed, sealed, and delivered, but confidence is high.
14 day BS Avg is 128 right now with 78% in target. Racing makes it tough for me to keep the averages that I like. If I was just training, at a base pace, I would shoot to have average less than 110, with 93% in target, and not have a problem with it. The simple reason is just consistency. Wake up same time, ride around the same time, at the same intensity, eat the same thing, bed at same time. Life is simple. Racing is completely the opposite. So because of Bike Racing, my A1C will most likely go up. I would venture to say I will be around 6-6.5 for the next one in April, which is not bad at all. Come April, I will have 3-4 weeks at home (I think/hope) and will get this consistent good stuff again!!
That is about all for now. I hope all is rocking for you, and thanks so much for reading!
Talk before Taiwan. 2 more days of training, some yoga, then off to the flat lands...
Ciao

Do you follow any type of pattern as far as riding then eating? How do you mesh the need to eat, the need to take insulin and the training. Right now I ride for an hour when I get home from work then take my insulin then eat dinner. How do you plan a full days training?
