Workout: Bike workout Did about 10 Mile workout in 1 mile loops. .5 of it I did at 20+ mph and the recover part I stayed at about 18+ mph. Did a 4 mile cool down. Have a lot of questions for Dmark about shifting and race day.
Did not feel very winded today.
Post Workout BS = 124
How do I turn at high speeds on a bike?
When I want to accelerate do I downshift or upshift?
Should I change my inner tubes the day before the triathlon?

Workout
I did a Bricks workout today. 12 Miles Bike and a 4 Mile Run. My 4 Mi run was done in 29.17 about a 7.30 mile. I felt like the bike portion really warmed me up for the run. Easing into the run wasn't very difficult.
Breakfast Cheereos, Yogurt
Lunch Salad w/veggie burger
Yogurt and orange for snack, sugar free ice cream with the kids.
Definitely felt less tired than yesterday. It took me about a day to recover from the swim I did the day before yesterday.

Absolutely Tiring Day
The swim completely blew me out of the water. I didn't do any workouts today. For most of the day I was just exausted.
Lunch was a slice of pizza from sabarro.
Dinner was a salad, egg plant parm slices.
I snacked throughout the day. Yesterday's workout was a series of sprints. I really went all out. I definitely have days like this after a heavy swim workout. Not so much running or cycling. I recover pretty well after that but swim recovery is really hard.

Post Run BS = 100
How is it possible that my BS went up after a five mile run???
I'm beginning to figure out that my body does very different things on vacation than when during work. Today was a run that I would typically do when I am at work. It felt very similar to my winter runs, a bit tired etc,... So my blood sugar must completely change pending on my work or vacation schedule.

Post Workout BS = 113
This was a hard workout. I did the four mile loop in about 31 Minutes. It was very hot and humid. My right foot was a little stiff so I couldn't really hit a great stride. It feels better than before though. Interesting though my blood sugar didn't drop much went from a 120 to 113. This was 31 minutes of pretty hard exertion. Go figure.

Good workout - Pilates followed by heavy repetition lifting. 25 Lbs - doing a lot of repetitions (20) did 3 sets. Definitely feel it. Would like to add this to my workout routine at least once a week. Is a really good recovery workout. Generally I do a heavy workout (bike, run or swim) and the next day do a recovery workout. Sometime a recovery is doing nothing at all.
BS = 105 2 HRs after Lunch
Lunch California Pizza Kitchen - Salad, 1 slice of pizza.
Very tired after yesterday's run. Tonight's workout is a recovery workout. Pilates and Lifting. I want to work on some strength training but not bulk up. Low weight - High reps.

Rise in glucose after exercise
Found some articles on how blood glucose can rise after an anaerobic workout.
4 Mile Run 28 Min 24 Seconds
Post Blood Sugar = 107. Go Figure??? My pre blood sugar was around 90. I have a theory though.
Sweated lost a lot of water. If blood sugar is some kind of relative measure losing water would decrease my blood volume giving me a higher blood sugar reading??
Good workout though. Focused on stride length. I can feel it in my quads.
28.24 = 7.06 mile awesome!!!

Today's workout
I did a swim workout.
Warmup
Technique Drills
Distance Swim for 20 Minutes
Sprints
I think the technique drills have really helped my swimming. I definitely feel faster and stronger in the water.
As far as the diabetes - I definitely feel in control in the morning but more likely to snack in the afternoon and evening. Obviously, on days where I have had a hard workout I do have a greater propensity to snack. Usually I will pick a low carb snack or fruit to eat.
