Fanny and I went on a long ride around Bornsjön today and stopped for fika at Sturehofs Slott! Was great allthough I wont lie, it was also strugglesome. I think the total ride ended up at about 83km, my longest ride previous was 10km less. I am slowly realizing what I have gotten myself into, 180km is the ride for the Iron Man, at the moment I cannot even grasp adding 100km to my ride today.. However, I still have more than a month left! Next weekend I am doing a 120km ride, which will be my longest before the race. My advantage is that I am pretty competetive, so when its race day I will most likely perform better than I have ever trained! :P
Now I am going to chill for the rest of the day.. yay! Later on my brother is joining Mr. C and I for a taco dinner, yummy!
The fika place is so awesome, so many different buns and cakes along with lunch food.. can really recomend going out there if you want to escape the city for a few hours!
Me and my bike, we have a love hate relationship :)
Sugar stayed pretty good allthroughout the ride today, allthough it astonish me every time how much I have to refuel during a workout. I am taking extremely little longacting insulin at the moment in order to allow me to not drop that much during workouts. I have to refuel less than before, but still a lot more than Fanny had to during this ride. It is really easy to notice the difference between having type 1 and working out versus not having it when you ride with someone else. I was riding for about 4hrs today where at least 2 of them where very slow because it was transportation routes to get to the lake. When I got home I felt naucious and sick to my stomach, it might have been because I was tired, or the bs was dropping. No matter what, learning how to handle these situations is important before Iron Man raceday.. because if I cannot manage my diabetes during that race I will be doomed no matter how much I have trained "physically" for it.
