That's cool, thanks for admitting it! We like all the gory details here on TE!
My husband rode his first century yesterday. Made it home, collapsed, and promptly puked his guts up. Then he took a shower, had an hours' lie down, and we went out to dinner and he was fine.

once while riding I had such an upset stomach and felt so weak and ill I had to put my bike in the bushes and lie down in a field. The ground was wet and cold, but it felt so good. After 20 minutes I felt better and continued my ride.
