4 miles? JFID Go out hard, up the pace, suffer. The harder you run the quicker it ends. It's a race after all.

in my case turn the basal rate down massively about 4 hours before the planned exercise, that means no extra carbs, or maybe 10g. If I can't turn the basal rate down ahead of time, carb snack before, or if shoreter exercise, check afterwards nd maybe have something

dried bananas work well, as do oat/nut/seed based bars on a longer ride,with correct basal and bolus manageent I may also use a gel or two. Longer rides being 50km plus, up to 200km so far

the correct technique with any exercise is vital. A good gym instruction should teach you that before anything else. If they don't, change gym. That goes for running, cycling, weights, whatever.

yes, concept 2 if you can get one

could be, you didn't mention the ketones earlier ;)

If your BG was that steady during the swim, you could have been going harder than you think with a bit of a liver dump of glycogen. Your bike response is pretty much what I get if the pump is not low enough for long enough beforehand

I stop, I don't think I'd have the dexterity to focus on testing whilst riding as well. Each stop takes under two minutes and on a general ride or audax is an opportunity to eat as necessary. I can do it on the turbo but that's not wobbling around under me. If I were racing I'd probably...

I test every 45 mins, and eat depending on the BG at that time. Last weekend went a bit like this Breakfast was scrambled eggs, mushrooms, smoked salmon and coffee with double cream, basal rate reduced. BG before was 5.5, and on arrival at ride HQ, 7.2 perfect to start out. I had half a...

no bolus whatsoever, not needed with those activity levels. I was also carrying other stuff, like gels and dried bananas, but didn't need those. Drinks are typically Nuun or High-5 Zero

I probably could if I went massively low on MDI dosages, but on the pump I find that even if I dial it back to 20% about three hours ahead of the event I still need about 20g/hr of carbs to prevent going too low. Same with the running over longer distances. Did a 106km audax on Sunday, no...

I can give you plenty of advice on bike/run, but not swim I'm afraid. I've ultra marathoned and done plenty of 100km+ rides. My only duathlon experience was pre-diagnosis.

@EdMac, agree with everything g you said, especially the hills. Problem for me will be volume this year, bone spurs on big toe joints making long distances and lots of running painful. Getting my volume on the bike this year. Lighter is generally faster, but stronger is also faster...

Have to post this one, lunch today, just cooling in front of me and smelling very good. Soem mixed veg, in this case helda beans, fresh cauli and some of the leaves, fresh psb, courgette, shallot Quorn chunks for protein. All sauted in coconut oil, flavoured with some red thai curry paste...

More likely to be recovery from injuries. Like most things you can get along without much training, but to be more proficient ie faster, you need to run more - specificity. I'm struggling at the moment with recovery from shin splints and really backing off the running. Picking up the cycling...

Got the e-mail but decided to give it a miss, wasn't convinced about the value for money

Very much so, my daily normal ratio is 1U:25g carbs, on the pump, was lower on MDI. But that does vary depending on exercise etc as quoted. I'd say I'm still in honeymoon phase almost 3 years later so it can be prolonged fairly well. Keep active, count accurately and don't go mad with the...

Sorry can't help, but for some reason I read that as weedkillers don't help

Rode the bike into town for shopping g yesterday, and an easy 50 mins on the turbo. If the weather clears I'll try and get out on the bike later, if not more turboing.

I do the same with my meter on winter runs and bike rides.
