On my last night in Boulder for a while I thought I'd update a few things. So here is some random info for you.
Random Info 1: I will be spending this weekend at the ADA conference in San Fransisco. Several of the members from Team Type 1 will be in attendance. For anyone wanting to see me, I think I'll be hanging out at the Dex4 booth. The team will be spread out between our sponsors Sanofi Aventis, OmniPod, Abbott Diabetes Care and Dex4. Look out for Matt Brooks who will be displaying the readings of his new navigator continuous monitor. When you see his blood sugar reading 55 with an arrow pointing straight down, you'll see me running over with some Dex.
Random Info 2: My good friend and training partner Sam Henry has taken a break from rowing and is now cycling full time. Reports suggest that he is currently under negotiations with several major teams, but which teams is not known. He has reportedly fully recovered from a knee injury suffered in past years and no longer suffers from a "pussy knee".
Sam took a long time out of competition after his accident, but is fully fit and highly motivated.
Random Info 3: Fabio and I are now the proud owners of a scooter. Getting round Boulder should now be a lot easier.
Random Info 4: Reports from my trusted ginga doctor (well, almost a doctor, he's just a wanta be doctor at the moment) Alistair Escott that I have placed a "bun in the oven" are completely untrue. This is very upsetting for Al, who is unable to have his own, as he is suffers from Gingivitis.
Random Info 5: After ADA in San Fransisco the Team Type 1 RAAM team will be heading to Oceanside for the start of their defense of RAAM. After this, expect to see 8 riders from TT1 in a world of pain. If you have any questions you want me to answer, please ask before the 11th June, as after this date I'll be delirious from exhaustion.
Random Info 6: The song Pancreas, by Weird-AL-Yankovic has been posted as offense to those of us without a working pancreas. Personally, I think its a great song, celebrating the pancreas for all its hard work. The lyrics can be found at http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Weird-Al-Yankovic/Pancreas.html
Random Info 7: I can now confirm that I will indeed be the celebrity blogger on the unofficial Cycling Otago home page. It is now my 4th year as a member of Cycling Otago, and I feel privileged to be giving something back. The web page can be found at http://www.unofficialcyclingotago.blogspot.com/
Please note that not all of this information is credible. Some of the sources, particularly those used for even number random info, could be potently misleading, and is probably entirely made up.
