[RC] Vertigo at night - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Skyla slstewart@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

I was in the front, and there was no lights that were bothering
me. Before I got too "helium headed" to trot, I was feeling like
I was sitting WAY UP IN THE AIR, on my horse, and that the world
was a LONG ways down. (?)  When PJ pulled in front of me, it did
help some, I was able to focus on the back of her horse, and they
did have glow sticks, but that didn't even faze me. I read somewhere
something about elytes and keeping well hydrated in relation to
this problem, but haven't been able to pin it down. Could low
blood sugar do the same thing? Like I said I was NOT the least
bit sick to my stomach. I had some trouble eating much at the 80
mile hold. I did a Boost, Yogurt, and nibbled at some other stuff
which I don't have a clue what now. I drank a bottled sweet coffee
drink. My crew was VERY unhappy with me when I came in off the 80,
they found I had drank about 10oz of water in about 17 miles...?
I was also quite dizzy the following morning, and it took over two
hours before I knew I was OK enough to drive home. (?)
