Wow!

Wow, I appear to be really bad at this blogging thing, at least with regard to doing it regularly.  Anyway, it has been an interesting couple of months.  Still waiting on a replacement bike from Orbea; admittedly it is not their fault that the airline chose to destroy mine, but it is really hard to do a good job for you sponsors when you have to explain to everyone you see why exactly you aren't riding your team bike.  That said, a big thanks to my best friend, Wes, for making sure that I have a frame to use.

Last week I spent four days speaking to CDE's at their National conference, AADE, in Washington DC.  A really good time, particularly as I was able to catch up with teammates I haven't seen since we finished RAAM.  I had a lot of fun talking to CDE's and sharing with them how the Freestyle Navigator and OmniPod in conjunction with Apidra insulin have helped me to manage my diabetes and have a better time racing my bike than ever before.  Ironically, it was during these four days that I "chose" to have the most severe hypo I've experienced in ages.  A big thanks Matt Brooks for making the run all the way back to his hotel room to get me some Dex 4 liquid, without which I'm fairly sure the evening would have been far worse; total carbs to treat that hypo were 2 Cokes, a Dex 4 gel and 2 Dex 4 liquids which got me to roughly a BS of 115.

Saw my doctor yesterday and he was kind enough to give me an injection of Prednisone in my right knee to treat the bursitis I've developed since the end of RAAM; I;m now going to quit waiting on that replacement frame and go ahead and position the saddle correctly on my Seigler.  That's about it for now.  Thanks for reading.
