Well, yesterday we raced one of our rivals, and we got our butts wuped. And I sucked! My coach told me to try to beat their #3 guys, and I didnt even beat their #6 guy. But then again, our #2 guy didnt even beat their #3 guys. And Im like the #4 guy.

But in the race, about halfway through on a hill, I began to gag. What is my problem!!!!!!!! How is it possible th throw up in the middle of a 5K race. BTW my time was 18:12, which is somewhat slow on the course we ran on.

It's entirely possible to throw up in the middle of a race. It could be caused by a wide variety of things, but the three most likely I can think of are:

1) diet
2) conditioning
3) going out too fast

If your entire team failed to meet your coach's expectations, then he probably set the sights too high or the team was not well rested coming in.
