Hey Team WILD- how fun to blog with ya'll!
OK- so I've been going to several spinning classes the last few weeks, then riding outside each weekend. The Tour de Cure is May 30 from San Antonio to Austin with a stop in San Marcos.

Last weekend I took my bike to the shop and with Nicole's suggestions-had them make a few changes-thank you Nicole! And I had them put my clips on. (nightmares included about falling and breaking something-no joke!) I rode around my (hilly) subdivision a bit one night and today I decided to go on the training ride. Success!- I rode 44 miles in 3 hours and did not fall!!!!

(photo isn't really Edy's feet...just a little creative license!)

BS did alright-not perfect! Woke with a 86. Decreased my basal to 70%, ate 20 gm carb and headed to the start-40 min drive southward. Pre-race had a 236! yicks- took no bolus-just drank water. At mile 27 had a 203, drank water and ate 1 shot block(8 gm). Arrived back at the car (without falling!) with a 92.

Guess my only issue is terrible burning in mostly my right hand. Used to have that with lows- now it's fairly constant no matter the BS. I try not to put too much pressure on the wrists, change positions, rub hands on shorts etc but maybe ya'll or Matt can make some suggestions with that.
Happy trails!
