[RC] re: vertigo, motion sickness in the dark - Cindy Collins

I can't believe no one has mentioned being stuck with me when I throw up
on a 100 miler!  Guys, some of us just get motion sick in the dark and
there are things that help, but no cure.  Being in shape and hydrated are
a plus. Chewing ginger candy does seem to help.   Dramamine makes me
sicker and sleepy...same with patches.  Bracelets do nothing.  I've
finished 19 100 milers.  On four of those I didn't vomit.  Two of them
because I finished in daylight, one because it was not downhill at
all(downhill in the dark is the worst), and one I was miserably nauseated,
but for some reason did not vomit.  I have given up eating the great
hamburgers at Jack Creek on the BigHorn 100 because it's a waste of
time...if you know what I mean.  I've just learned to live with the fact
that this is what I will do and all of my friends just expect it.  BTW,
the horses don't seem to care!  Kind of like a dog, they love you anyway. 
Cindy
