Need more carbs!!

Submitted by Anonymous on July 6, 2009 - 3:41pm

I am currently experiencing some difficulties taking my riding to the next level. I am a type 2 with a great A1C of 5.8. Lately my performance seems to have topped out. I try to keep my daily consumption of carbs to somewhere around 150 grams, but I do not think this is enough. When I ride more than a couple of hours my ending BS is almost always higher than my beginning BS. For example I recently did a cold, wet, hilly and windy 100k tour. My beginning BS was 120, I took in about 120 grams during the ride and my ending BS was 16). I also think the constant low card is impacting my recovery. I am currently on Metformin and just started taking Januvia. I do not use insulin or any other fast acting medications. I am hoping the Januvia helps some, but... Any thoughts as welcome.

Back to low carb'ing, vision for RAAM 2010

Since I have been mostly low carb’ing and have dropped 10lbs of water weight. I intend to continue to LC to get my weight back down to the mid 180lbs range. I felt best at that weight. I think I looked fairly good too. 

Here after RAAM, I am in love with my bike again. Not just in love with it, but I seem to have this bug gnawing at me. This bug to do more races. I'm just not sure what races, or what type of races. Think I'll get with Keith to see about racing with Cobras. 

My vision for RAAM is a one-two finish for Team Type 1 and Team Type 2. How cool would that be? I have a plan and will be working to implement that plan over the next 11 months. 

Today's breakfast/lunch was a 4 egg cheese omelet using shredded "taco" cheese topped with taco sauce. It is important to make the food interesting. Helps keep me on track.
