With only two weeks to Boston I figured this week's long run was the last chance to test everything prior to race day. Things went well - no problems with the clothes or shoes, and more importantly my eating/bloodsugar testing plan was a flying success.
One packet of the almond butter (at 90 calories and 2.5 net carbs) every 5-6 miles kept me in the 80's and 90's for the whole run.
Using a water bottle with a pouch to hold a lancet and SideKick monitor for testing made it possible to test while running. That might be more difficult in a pack of runners - but I'm hoping to only have to test if I feel off during the race.
Really the only question is whether the stress/excitement of the race, or running at a faster pace, will result in higher blood sugar numbers.
