Chris Clark: Type 1 Diabetic Athlete

Last weekends Rose City Rampage gravel race was postponed due to all the rain, so getting out this week after things have dried up has been great 🤙🏼 spent the time inside writing a little bloggy-blog on some tips to help diabetes management during the season of holiday feasts and unknowns - you know where to look 😎

It’s truly become a family affair 🤣 🚲🐶 Mando makes a great “stupervisor” of course and he’ll be even happier when we start taking him with us on some neighborhood rides once it cools down 😎 and trees still down from storms and Idalia a few weeks back as you can see but happy to be able to get out and enjoy the ride now! ⛈️☀️

Nora added some cherries to our post-ride Sunrise Shack Smoothie Bowl (from Plant Over Processed by )and topped with Goji berries and almond slivers 🤤 this is one of my favorites for its anti-inflammatory properties - made with turmeric! But I think she outdid herself with the addition of the cherries which are some of my favorite training/recovery foods. With the addition of the vanilla protein powder, these smoothies have a nice balanced ratio of nutrients to keep my blood sugars balanced and initiate proper recovery - and they taste AMAZING 🤩 also perfect for watching todays
stage 🚴🏽 😜

It’s not what it seems 😂 Active recovery is an important part of training and after yesterdays “more active” recovery, we’re going for a legit version with stretching and yoga today. Supervision and form correction by of course 😎

Batten down the hatches! Pre run and the morning sunrise didn’t disappoint - as the saying goes, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight; Red sky in the morning, sailors warning” (pic 2 🙃). Thanks for the run, Jamie!

Nothing fancy here. Just reminiscing on the weekend post-run refuel ☕️ I’m upping my mileage and have been changing up the courses here lately thanks to incorporating some group runs with friends. Definitely enjoying putting in more miles and being on the bike more 🏃🏻🚴🏼‍♂️

Nothing like the open road and plenty of fuel to keep me running or biking 🤩 I share a little here about and I shared back in November that I’m an for them during 2021, so I wanted to share more about WHY I’ve been utilizing their products as an athlete and a T1D for quite some time. Check out my latest blog for my breakdown of PickyGoodness 🤤 https://bit.ly/3AH1nKC

Feeling the love today from these two as Mando tried to decide whether or not to deliver my Dogs Dad Day card or turn it into his next shreddable toy! 😅 It’s nice to take some time to spend with these two as it’s been a busy spring and will be an even busier summer. It’s been a while but I wrote a quick blog post about some things we’re working on and towards for the rest of the year. Check it out at https://www.chrisclarkathletics.com/ and looking forward to keeping y’all updated and moving forward 💥👏🏼😎

About Chris Clark, nonprofit CCG

The first Type 1 Diabetic to complete the Ultraman Florida Race, Chris Clark is an enthusiastic athlete, coach, and health advocate. The former FSU collegiate swimmer picked up biking and running after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and hearing two Type 1 diabetic triathletes speak about training with T1D. Chris journeyed from triathlons to endurance events to ultra-endurance events, finishing 6th in the 2015 Ultraman Florida competition, and now has his sights set on a few more ultra-endurance events around the world.

When he’s not training, Chris is co-running Clark Communications Group, a nonprofit organization he and his wife Nora founded to help Inspire, Educate and Empower those living with and impacted by Type 1 Diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Chris has been a keynote speaker at numerous American Diabetes Association events in Jacksonville and south Florida, involved with numerous ADA and JDRF events in South Carolina, where he previously lived, as well as in Tallahassee, Jacksonville and south Florida.

Chris is currently an ambassador for Nuun and Bike Law. Chris was previously a member of the elite athlete team with Team Novo Nordisk before the program was cut, and was also previously an ambassador for Salming.
