| | | 107 miles with my pump!
I did it. I ran a 100 mile race with my pump! Well actually 107 miles ( I got lost had to run an additional 7 to get back where I started) No problem with the pump. Didn't bounce, no chafing. it was all good. I set a temp basal for the race, and didn't think about after that. I intended to test every 20 miles( each loop) but my meter was in my drop bag, and was too cold too work. So I just went by how I was feeling. I was probebly running a little high in the evening, had to pee every 30 mins, but otherwise I felt good. I managed to warm up my meter at the end And I was 190. No too bad after nearly 27 hours of running. |

| | | Holy Cr@# Trailrunner!!! Congratulations!!! That is truely INCREDIBLE. I can't get past 5 miles without walking! You did over 21 times that!!!! How do you feel?? I have read that after such feats the body gets super tired but the mind seems to keep busy and makes it hard to sleep. Any truth to that in your experience? Do you have a massive runner high? That is so cool. I am telling all my diabetic friends about this.
Did anyone interview you by chance? This is absolutely press worthy imho. |

After I felt pretty good. I went back to my hotel and napped for an hour, drove to the airport, slepped on flight back. Since then I 've take a few spin classes and feel pretty good. I'd be on the treadmill already if it weren't for some tendonitis in my right knee. |

| | | Wow,
Very impressive Trailrunner.
I'm glad to hear it all went well (even with a seven mile detour)
Congratulations, you are an inspiration to me and, I'm sure, other diabetic runners.

| | | That's amazing. When I first saw 107 miles I figured it was going to be a bike ride.
I'll be stoked when I complete my first half-marathon. I can't even imagine 107 miles. |

How long did it take you to train for this 107 mile run???? | Thank you, I try to stay in shape and keep a running base to be able to do at least a 50 k when I want to. My last long race was in november( 50 miles) and during december and early january, I ran 60 miles weeky, give or take 5 miles. |
