What would cause this?
It's happened before, it's almost like hypothermia.

I hope she's being careful with the saddle angle if she's spinning naked.

could be a dehydration effect. Though I would think that for a spin class you are doing a good job of hydrating. I've only had it happen at the end of a long outdoor ride when it was really hot out.

It was really hot in there tonight. I drank two bottles of water over the course of 45 minutes.
I think it has to do with core temperature regulation and my body just was losing more water through sweat and cellular respiration than I could replace.

Could it have been that delayed gastric emptying thing?

could be temperature regulation:

Overheating, or hyperthermia, can be a problem with strenuous exercise or when working out in hot weather. Overheating can cause mild to life-threatening conditions. Heat exhaustion, a moderate form of hyperthermia, is characterized by the following symptoms:

* Lightheadedness, nausea, headache, hyperventilation, fatigue, and loss of concentration.
* A high temperature (above 103 F), possibly accompanied by complaints of chills and clammy skin.

Let me see if I have a spare cooldownz (http://www.amazon.com/Cool-Downz-Down-All-Day/dp/B000HARK4W). I used 'em last summer and they helped. I just stick 'em in a bucket of ice water & put them around my neck.

I think the only pattern I haven't used has happy faces & peace signs, but it still works.

I tend to overheat and have to stop and take off my helmet every so often - let my head cool down.
