My Urban Dare Partner wrote up a fabulous report of our adventure in San Francisco on Saturday. It’s so great and pretty and well-formatted I hesitate to copy it, so please head over to Wet Dog and check it out!

We weren’t sure how fast we were going to make it from point to point, so when we arrived (45 minutes before the announced start) I lowered my basal for 90 minutes. Once we got our questions, I was so focused on the task at hand I didn’t think about much else! I did check and was 167; perfect for an unknown adventure.
We were on our way to the three-headed Buddha and Peggy turned to me and asked if I needed to eat or check or anything. I said nope. A few minutes later we got to the Buddha and I checked. I was 60. (I now suspect Peggy is in fact a D4D able to smell a falling blood glucose level!)
I ate a Gu and had half of my sandwich as we tried to get the guy to do a cartwheel. (One of the highlights of my day.)
Then we were on to the next stop!
I don’t think I checked or felt a need to check the rest of the way. When we got to the end, I was 147 or something like that. I hadn’t bolused since the race began. Go exercise!
Anyway, a ton of fun and an activity I would recommend to anyone, anytime. So much fun!! (And yes I know I’m a shorty.)
