A good year.
2nd in ACT bouldering comp (masters division) Ranked in the top 10 in my age group nationally in orienteering. Top 20 in ski marathon. 3rd on handicap out of 197 in a Parkrun. Sub 95 minute half marathon.
Best backcountry skiing for many seasons.
Plus the occasional unicycle or 20km on inline skates.
T1D is no impediment to competitive performance, even if like me you do not have a sporting background and are past retirement age.
But to do so you should ignore most of what doctors and dietitians say.
