400m swim, 21km bike, 5km run

Once again sugar levels high at finish
Weardale Triathlon 2004:
750m swim, 13 mile bike, 3 mile run
Tried different insulin and sports drink regime to prevent high blood sugar and dying half way through the bike section, not much success but still a good race, try something else next time.
Prince Bishops Triathlon 2004:
1.5km swim, 25 mile bike, 6 mile run
The first time I used extra Lantus on top of the night-time dose of 12 units taken the night before, 10 units 1.30hr before the start, so will begin working 30mins into race, worked perfectly, sugar level 6.5 mmol/l at finish compared to 18 mmol/l the year previous, time improved by 15 minutes!

Tyne & Wear Fire Brigade Triathlon 2004:
400m swim, 13mile bike, 3mile run
Used a really strong sports drink on the bike section, problem being it was red hot and I drank it too fast, the resulting high blood sugar knackered up the performance, I've decided from now on I'll steer clear of sport drinks and go for an electrolyte replacement drink containing complex carbohydrates with a low sugar content
Teesdale Triathlon 2004:
500m swim, 17 mile bike, 4.5 mile run
