I thought about the the gels under the wrist, but not sure whether I will use a swimsuit since the race is end of August in Switzerland and the water might still be warm. But I can easily hide them under the swim cap <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />As you said, like most newbies to triathlon, I am nervous about the swimming, but I guess I should be fine since I train regularly. It was really more about being ready in case of a hypo in the open water.Transitions are good for us indeed, as testing the sugar level within record time while doing something else (e.g. getting out of a swimsuit) is a strength of diabetics who are into sports <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I am really looking forward to that new challenge and will test as much as I can during my training.May I ask how it went for your Olympic? Sugar wise all went fine as it seems, how about your overall time? Did your sugar level drop that much when you were checking at T1?Cheers,Max</blockquote>
