Well done Globule. I can see a tidal wave of "Exorcist" race-finish photos in RA's future. Specially from the psycho's dedicated runners in the swamp. |

I had hernia surgery at the beginning of last May. It's easy to confuse it with my colon because I'm always posting about how I nearly crap myself on a regular basis while running.

I have done this, but there was no photographer (small 10k).
And it wasn't projectile vomiting, but you could tell on my face.... |

| I hurled rather loudly (and colorfully thanks to too much mustard the night before) right after crossing the line of a 15k. Unfortunately, before the era of ubiquitous finish line pics. |

My best friend and I ran a 5 mile race when we were in 5th grade. I ran a little to get ready and followed every tidbit of advice my older brother (very talented runner) gave me. We vowed to run it together. I didn't realize he did not do anything to get ready and that he was killing himself trying to keep up.
He finally puked at the finish line and yes I have a picture of it. BTW, I regretted our promise to finish together (no winning or losing b/w us). He hurled right in front of us and it splattered all over my shins and I stepped right in it.  |

| The worst thing for me is that few moments you have to decide "which direction is best?" I like to hang onto something : tree, fence, pole vs. hands on knees stance ... so anyone near a sturdy object at the end of some of my races - look out! "I pity the fool" |

I know I've posted this a few times before, but it bears repeating given the context.
I ran with a guy in high school who was a really solid 800m runner (PR of about 1:57~1:58-). He was a human hurling stopwatch. If he broke 2 minutes, he dry-heaved or hurled. 2:00 or above, and he was heave-free. I swear, we really didn't need to time the guy, we just had to watch to see whether he spewed or not after the race. |

Worst experience was in HS, during a XC meet. I was in medal position, pushing hard in the last half mile, and felt that all-too-familiar sensation. I kept thinking, "Just hold on for a little bit longer..." But, alas, it wasn't gonna happen. I felt it coming, turned my head to the side and leaned over to start hurling. Unfortunately, I had not perfected this technique, and ended up on my hands and knees, spewing out whatever bile was in my stomach.
Of course, while doing so, I get passed by two people.
I finish as quick as possible, the whole time thinking "C'mon, hurry up and finish already!" I take off after the other two, managing to catch one but not the other. And subsequently missed out on a medal by one spot.
The team won, though, so great. |

That reminds me of my very first XC race in HS (soph year -- I didn't do XC as a frosh). I missed our team's time-trial, so I it was my first-ever all-out 5k race. I had a wicked case of the dry-heaves about a mile or so into the race. I remember running with my head turned to right, all ready to spew. Fortunately, it kind of died down.
Between almost hurling, and having a wicked bout of nervous shits up to about 3 minutes before the gun, I was really wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into with this whole cross-country thing. Sad part for me today is that despite all of the dry-heaving, I was over a minute faster in that first race than I am now. (I was also 40 pounds lighter then; maybe I need to work on that as well as on the dry-heave intervals  ) |

I used to be so good at the 800  , that I would occasionally throw up before the race |
