RACE- Woke up somewhat early. Ate half a bagel and drank some water. Had some really weird things happen to my blood sugar today. Checked it when I woke up, and it was 88. Great! Figured that I wouldn't dose for half a bagel, cause I was afraid that I would go low, when I race. Jogged over to the park and warmed up. Saw some familiar faces. Merrilee Blackham, Matt Wolpert, Anthony Costales, and the Pachev family. Warmed up some with Sasha. Good chat with him. From the gun, I had very little energy levels. First mile in 5:48, then after that it didn't get any better. Finished in 19:11. After the race, I checked my blood sugar, and it was 382. No wonder I was so fatigued during the race. I have no idea how it got that high, possibly: stress, adrenaline, and just plain diabetes lol. Although I did not perform my best, I am always thankful to be able to run a race, and be able to run period. It was still a super fun race, as usual. Cooldown with Sasha afterward.

PM- 5 miles in Park City. Ran on the bike trail for most of the run.

Nice Cherokee call out. Looks like you're dealing with a lot with your blood sugar, but you'll only be stronger for having the knowledge to manage it and knowing more about your body's needs. You already know this but you definitely ran that first mile too fast, especially with the uphill on the first mile. Keep on racing.

Yeah I think that this was just not my best day as far as racing goes. I may also still have some marathon distance legs in me from Ogden haha. Thanks for support man!!! You ran Murray Days right?
