Before going to the race my BG was around 200 but I was hungry so I ate something and covered it (or you could think of it as correcting and undercovering) but that was at about 4:15pm. So there was still quite a bit of insulin on board when I arrived at the beach for the race at 5:30.
Pre warm up: 220
After my 8 min run (trying not to get too sweaty before putting my wetsuit on) I was 120
I drank a juicy juice and ate 1/2 of a Clif Bar and didn't take insulin. I detached my pump to put my wesuit on and didn't reattach it until after the race. I swam for about 10 minutes and headed to the starting line.
Post race I was: 109
Due to lack of training and going to track practice that morning I wasn't expecting much from the race. I felt decent in the water and the run was bad, but could have been worse. Official results are not posted yet.
