#ScottsDeathRide 💀🚴♂️ – weeks 10-12 spokes and spikes
After hitting “The Wall” a few weeks ago, I’ve been trying to conquer that long 50-mile weekend ride ever since. I’ve been plagued by problems with spokes and spikes. Three broken back spokes and a flat front tire from a spikey plant-pod called a goat head – all in the span of a couple of weeks.
It’s been very frustrating! But don’t worry! Diabetes has trained me well to roll with the punches! As soon as I get my wheel back from the repair shop, I’ll be back on the road again.
And take a look at this video for how lucky I was when it comes to where I broke down… ...

#ScottsDeathRide 💀🚴♂️ – week 9 brought me The Wall
Lot’s of work travel and conferences put me behind schedule. And while hitting “The Wall” or “bonking” is something I heard of from other endurance athletes, I hadn’t experienced it personally – until week number nine…

#ScottsDeathRide – 2 weeks of training in the bag!
I finished week 2 of my training schedule on Saturday and I’m feeling good!
I can tell that I’m getting stronger, and I can tell that my body is changing. How? Because I’m hungry and tired!
Good reminders to focus on my sleep and nutrition – both important parts of building my base.
I talk about these things, and a few more, in this quick video. Check it out:

#ScottsDeathRide – Sara and why she rides
My training schedule has officially started for #ScottsDeathRide (details here…) – I’m partway through week #2 as I write this.
One thing I’m already loving is visiting with friends while riding bikes together.
The other day I spent some quality time in the saddle with Sara and we talked about why she rides. It’s a powerful story full of inspiration – I think you’ll like it.

JDRF TypeOneNation Summit in San Diego
I attended my first JDRF TypeOneNation Summit since moving to San Diego and had SO MUCH FUN!
My father-in-law and I spent countless hours watching boxing together over the past 20 years, so I was excited when I realized who walked in the room to kick things off.
None other than former pro boxing IBF World Champion, Paul “The Ultimate” Vaden! He’s been supporting JDRF since 2004 and was elected as the San Diego Board President in 2018.
View this post on Instagram I’m at my first @jdrfhq/@jdrfsd TypeOneNation Summit here in San Diego today and was THRILLED to meet JDRF Board President (...

39 years of living well with diabetes – celebrate with me!
Celebrate! You deserve it!
Today is another special day for me!
Thanks for joining me on this little celebration hike that I’m doing today. It’s a pretty special day for me.
I am celebrating 39 years living well with diabetes, and I thought what better way to do that than to get out for a little hike. There are all these awesome trails that couldn’t be more than five minutes away from my house. So, I got the day off work, I dropped my daughter off at her job, I have a little time to myself, so I’m gonna get out and enjoy the day a little bit!
Celebrating diaversaries
Why on earth ...
