[QUOTE="dozer, post: 84734, member: 21010"] Have you ever checked your heart rate when you "hit the wall"? I have a similar problem that occurs when racing HS. I don't get sick to my stomach but my energy level is cut in half and i have to slow down considerably. I discovered my heart rate was jumping up to 220+ almost as if a switch had been turned on. I checked with a cardiologist at the cleveland clinic and he diagnosed me with supraventricular tachycardia (svt). It's a congenital heart defect that is triggered by physical stress and adrenilan. Sometimes it happens other times it does not. I have found however that it is less likely to occur if i really try to stay in shape. I try to hit the pool at least three times a week. This is great cardio exercise that works the upper body too. I work out with free weights too when i'm done in the pool with a focus on the upper legs and arms. I don't have have a very big build but i've found that doing this routine does tend to help. Other than that I have just learned to live with it. Remember we're out to have fun so just slow down a little bit, stay out the faster riders way and enjoy the time on the track. Also when i have to slow down i look at it as an chance to learn something from some of the faster riders in the race. Watch the lines they take and how they handle some of the obstacles. Good luck.
