| Coincendentely I'm doing my first 5k race tomorrow - Komen Breast cancer race. I did a 5 mile race on the beach in September and had a really hard time. I had been training some but the distance along with the heat and humidity really affected my BGs. Even though tomorrows race is at 8 am and the temps only around 78 at race time I am more prepared. I'm taking some glucose tabs in my fanny pack and will eat the pre-race breakfast w/fruit to help as well. During the last race I could tell when my sugar dropped and I felt like I hit a brick wall. I made it but dropped after I crossed the finish line and couldn't get up until someone brought me juice. I didn't take my meter either so I don't know how low I was...I'll bring that this time as well. I'm ready to go this time!
Good luck on your race! Have someone take your picture of each race you do and scrapbook the events. You'll be so proud of the progress that you make each time beating your own personal best!
