This is not from me but copied from somebody else on another Forum, any thoughts on this? Maybe I can pass your advise on!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see anything listed about post-race sickness so I'd like to ask if anyone experiences this to the severity that I do. I believe it has to do with what I'm eating or what I'm not eating, but about 2-3 hours post-race I have the worst "hangover" of my life. Every XTERRA race so far.
Horrible headache and stomach ache to the point that I am laid out, not going anywhere, and can't even really eat anything I'm so ill. The first hour or 2 afterwords I just feel tired and then it sets in. The biggest bummer here is that I can never participate in post race parties or festivities.
I drink plenty of water and always carry a sports drink on the bike. I also take about 6 Gu packs throughout the whole race. I eat a balanced dinner and breakfast but they just don't seem to work. I'd love to hear that someone else experiences this or better yet has a solution.

CR66:
Refer your poster to this forum. It is bad form to pass on advise third hand. Let him or her get it straight from The Bike Doc. I do not mind referrals from other forums. This will also allow him or her to answer questions that I may pose to better sort out the symptoms and point him or her in the right direction for the solution.

I really want to build this site as I am a big supporter of TMBRA. I am pushing the limits on my time constraints so I keep my web surfing to a choice few sites.
