Trilhos da Cortiçada 22/9/2013
Boas pedaladas,
Ser convidado para participar numa prova com base
na memória do “rider diabético” do ano passado, foi muito bOm, senti-me
OrgulhosO!
Os 15 dias anteriores ao dia 22 de Setembro
“acomodei mal” umas costelas, que me levaram ao ibupofreno 600mg, mesmo
antes do passeio de BTT - Trilhos da Cortiçada - Na Rota dos Moinhos em Proença-a-Nova.
Este ano o lema foi “pedalar por onde se moía
o cereal” e assim foi durante os 60km, 35km ou os 15km, com os miúdos a
não acharem graça nenhuma às passagens de linhas de água e muito menos a
“picada pró moinho”...
Em jejum registei 146 mg/dL, diminuí a basal e não
dei rápida. Levantei o dorsal, bebi café acompanhado de um pastel de nata, com
uma unidade de insulina rápida... Talvez pelo número de eventos distribuídos na
região, eramos “poucos mas bons”, onde as primeiras pedaladas foram para apurar
o ritmo certo.
A separação de trilhos ocorreu antes dos primeiros
25km, já agrupado no “team de Tomar”, no 1º abastecimento levava 133 mg/dL.
Refiz o VITARGO, bebi cola e água, duas sandes de chouriço, uma barra de
cereais, bolo seco, fruta… As subidas iam começar...
Tudo isto assistindo ao seguinte dialogo - o relato
é quase fidedigno - iniciou o Fernando de Tomar:
- Então o Sr tem uvas?
- Sim! (Referiu com precisão o local e o nome onde
se situavam as vinhas).
- Ah, e faz a vindima? No outro dia ajudamos um
amigo lá de Tomar…
- Claro que faço.
- Aqui só nos dão água e sumos, nem cerveja há!!!
Os da organização retorquiam que também queriam,
mas este ano não houve hipótese. Um outro local “afinfa” que eles - organização
- tinham bebido tudo na noite anterior. Estes não se ficaram; “quando ontem
viemos marcar o trilho, isto de parar em todos as “tascas” tem as suas consequências”...
No meio das minhas dentadas, fiquei fulo comigo de
não ter uma máquina a registar tudo...
- E não se arranja um bocadinho para provar?
- Da minha pinga? Vou já buscar um garrafão...
- É só para provar!!!
Os dois membros da organização “fizeram contas”.
“Oh pá, assim vamos ter de ficar mais tempo, é que vocês são os últimos da
maratona maior!”
- É boa pinga sim senhor. Para o ano tem de dizer
quando, para virmos ajudar na vindima e fazer a prova!...
Fiquei com uma observação no final deste
abastecimento - dos mais emotivos a que assisti - digna de nota pela maneira
como foi rematada: “Vocês podiam levar um casalinho de moscas, há cá muitas!”... Ri um bom bocado!
Passados uns 10km, ao lado do trilho - em pleno
caminho rural - estavam perfeitamente instalados uns “compadres” que preparavam
algo:
Tomar avança:
- Há por aqui algum dos presentes que faça a
vindima?
- Oh!!! Não digam aos outros que o caminho é por
aqui! É claro que há vinho para beber? Querem?...
- Se há, podemos provar! Essas panelas é que são
grandes!?
- Só ainda há sopa (uma das panelas continha batatas e
couves a cozer)...
Assistindo ao episódio anterior e face as minhas
“pedaladas serem de outra monta”, segui com a certeza que me apanhariam mais a
frente. Cada vez que venho a Proença o calor aperta com força, o que nos leva a
uma constante hidratação, ajudado pelas várias fontes distribuídas pelo
percurso. O acumulado ia aumentando, e novamente na aldeia do Pergulho, se ali
tinha ocorrido a separação dos percursos, ali nos juntamos. Lá no alto estava o
moinho de vento que foi todo recuperado pela associação de produtores
florestais de Proença-a-Nova. Neste 2º abastecimento, foi hidratar e comer uma
banana e um bolo seco, já só faltavam 10 km.
No final fiquei a saber por um membro da
organização, que a chanfana - prato culinário de carne velha - estava muito bem servida,
o “team de Tomar” tinham ficado para trincar, chegando ao moinho já algo
atrasados. Antes do almoço torno a medir 144 mg/dL.

| Antes de uma subida, tens bom remédio... |
 |
| No final da descida havia não uma, mas duas cruzes, para garantir a viragem à direita. |
Não tive registo de hipo, nem hiper o que é bom.
Porque o meu treino é amador, tenho habituais paragens, para retratar os meus
textos e ao mesmo tempo me ajuda a recuperar de algum esforço, treinar estrada
com pouco acumulado… Nesta semana de EASD - 49th Annual Meeting of the European
Association for the Study of Diabetes discutem-se, apresentam-se diversos
estudos, relatórios. Uma situação é certa, mais prevenção é necessária. Maior
acesso para todos os diabéticos a bombas infusoras, e os já não tão recentes
assim, medidores contínuos de glicémia - CGM…
Desabafei!!!
Pedaladas do melhor,

- So, Mr you have grapes?
- Yes! (He replay with precise name and location where stood the vineyards)...
- Oh, and does the vintage? The other day we help a friend from Tomar...
- Of course I do.
- Here we only have water and juices, not even beer!!!
The two organization guys reported they wanted that too, but this year there were no chance. Another local "stress" they - organization - had all drunk last night. They persist "when we came yesterday to mark the track, stopping at all "taverns" has its consequences"...
In the middle of my bites, I was pissed off with me not having a machine to record all...
- And could we have a little to taste it?
- From my “drips”? I’ll fetch a carboy...
- Just to taste it!!!
The two organizations members said: "Oh man, now we have to stay longer, and you where the last from the big marathon!"
- Yes Sir, it's a good “drop”. Next year you say when, we came to help the harvest and take the test again!...
I quote a last sentence at the end of this supply - from the most emotive I attended to - notable the way it was said: "You could carry a couple of flies, there are plenty here!"
After about 10km, next the track - on a rural road - was perfectly installed a group of friends who prepared something:
Tomar take forward:
- There are here someone who do the vintage?
- Oh!!! Don’t tell the others track is here! Of course there is wine to drink? Do you want?...
- If there is, we can taste it! These pans are bigger!?
- Only there's soup (the pot boiling potatoes and Portuguese kales)...
Watching the last episode and because my "cycling is from another ride type", I followed with the certainty that I would pick up later on. Every time I come to Proença the heat squeezes hard, which leads to a constant hydration, aided by several sources distributed along the route. The accumulated was increasing, and again in the village of Pergulho, if there had been a separation of races, there, again we joined. Overhead was the windmill, all recovered by Proença-a-Nova Forest Producers Association. On this 2nd supply I hydrated, eat a banana and dry cake, from here 10km to the end.
In the end I knew by an organization member, the chanfana - a Portuguese dish with old meat - was well served, "Tomar team" had stayed to taste it, arriving at windmill a little delayed.

Good cycling,
Be invited to participate in an event based on a
memory from the “diabetic rider" last year, it was very good, I was so
proud!
The 15 days prior to September 22nd, I
"settled badly" some ribs, which led me to ibupofreno 600mg,
just before the MTB ride - Trilhos da Cortiçada - On Mills Route in
Proença-a-Nova.
This year's theme was "pedalling through
which cereal was grinded" and so it was during the 60km , 35km or
15km, kids do not find funny the water lines passages, much less "the wall
to the mill"...
Fasting I had 146 mg/dL, I decreased the basal and
I didn’t had fast. Raised my dorsal, drank coffee with a custard tart, with a
unit of fast insulin... Perhaps the number of events, distributed in the
region, we were "few but good ones", where the first cycling’s were
to determine right pace.
Separation tracks occurred just before first 25km,
already grouped in "Tomar team", on 1st supply zone I had 133 mg/dL.
I redid my VITARGO, drank cola and water, two sausage sandwiches, a cereal bar,
dry cake, fruit… Climbs were going to start...
All this watching the following dialogue - the
story is almost trustworthy - Fernando, from Tomar city, started:- So, Mr you have grapes?
- Yes! (He replay with precise name and location where stood the vineyards)...
- Oh, and does the vintage? The other day we help a friend from Tomar...
- Of course I do.
- Here we only have water and juices, not even beer!!!
The two organization guys reported they wanted that too, but this year there were no chance. Another local "stress" they - organization - had all drunk last night. They persist "when we came yesterday to mark the track, stopping at all "taverns" has its consequences"...

Hadn’t hypo or hyper records which are good.
Because I do an amateur training, I have regular stops to portray my texts and,
at the same time, help me recover some efforts - with little total ascent in
road train... In this week EASD - 49th Annual Meeting of the European Association
for the Study of Diabetes, discussing, presenting, and reporting several
studies. Prevention is the most needed. Greater access for all diabetics to
infusion pumps and not so recent the Continuous blood Glucose Meters - CGM...
Unburdened!!
Cycling good,
casf
