Hey ladies,
I did an Olympic race this weekend and felt pretty good throughout the whole race. It was my first race off my stress fractured femur. I ended up feeling pretty bad though about 30 minutes after the race but it would just come and go. I only ate a turkey wrap, gatorade, and a water bottle after the race. The race start was at 10 and I did not pee until 2 on the ride home. I was feeling fine until I ate dinner around 6. I had my typical salad, sweet potato, turkey dinner with some fruit and cookie dough ice cream for dessert. I figured that I was feeling sick because of the ice cream since I am slightly lactose intolerant. However, after an hour of stomach pain and attempting to throw up, I went to bed. I rolled around in bed for about an hour not able to get comfortable. Tried to drink some water/eat cheerios but couldn't. My mom made me go to the ER to get some fluids because we figured I was dehydrated/hypoglycemic. The blood tests confirmed that I was both dehydrated and had indications of slight Rhabdo... CPK was around 650. The race was Saturday, I laid in bed all day Sunday and went to classes and worked on my bike Monday. I swam this morning. How long do I take off? What is my main concern right now? Not getting dehydrated again or healing my muscles? Any input is appreciated. I have a sprint this coming Sunday.
