Swim Success #2!!

Test #2 with the Levemir was another success. I really think I'm getting it dialed in now!
Here's how it all went down:
9:30PM-take 4 units Levemir
10:30PM- lower basal to .1
2:30AM-232...I beleive from a high fat meal late that night. I didn't bolus for the whole correction for fear of a low 3 hours later in the pool.
5:00AM- 183...higher then I would like, but there's that bolus from last night
5:30AM-start swim
6:00AM- 159
6:15AM-129
7:00AM-152...after swim
7:30AM-176...eating breakfast, bolus 3.2u with 10u Symlin
10:00AM-127...not quite that 2 hour window, but good enough!

VERY stable bg's I think. Matt agreed. Next step? I'm going for 5 units. I think I may even try to mimic race day on Monday by eating 2 hours before and then swimming. We'll see....I'm doing a L O N G brick on Sunday. I'm shooting for a 4-5 hour. Bike 50, run 10. Last one before Aug 2. If I'm not tapped out from that, then I'll go for it. Otherwise I'll shoot for Tuesday morning.
