Solo second time round and 10 minutes quicker, tried various time saving techniques like strapping tester to handle bars, which didn't work because the vibrations caused error messages, so I decided to test every hour.
First test point, 1 hour into race sugar was 16, so had a little fast acting to bring it down, and down it came like a stone, at next test point it was 2.6 mmol/l. Without having any extra insulin for the rest of the race, I was eating a GO Bar every 3 miles on the run and still my sugar was low, that's why I'm very cautious giving short acting in a race situation it just goes mental.
