Did Eagleman this weekend. Here was the deal. All was fine until the morning of the race. I got up and my stomach was going crazy.Grumbling an dmaking noise like a motor was in it. ( It was not nerves...) I was on the toilet 5 times for the next 3 hours. I have never had this issue. But at least all was good when I got on the bike.

1. Ate normal carbo foods 2-3 days prior. If anything I may have ate too much carbos. Is there such thing as too many carbos?

2. Pre race evening meal was Spaghetti with baked chicken.(normal) Although I added a lot of bread but dipped some in Olive Oil (new)...... Was this bad?

3. Drank 8 oz of Ensure (new.. in fact someone here said not todrink it but it felt fine and do not think it was an issue since I had the grumbling before I drank Ensure) + a Bagel. Cherios and some normal stuff (normal) I have never had issues with . Have used all this before ... but ....was this bad?

One other note. When I drank water and Gatorade nothing came out. I took 2 small pee pee's even after chugging normal amounts of liquid. I did not feel dehydrated and my stomach was emptying fine. Sweat rate was a little less than normal.

Was I on the verge of dehydration from the poop episodes?

Can you help. Why did I have problems? I have a stong feeling it may have been the olive oil???
