Seeing double half way through 2nd moto

[Yamaman2007]

Hey guys im a pretty avid racer and no matter what i try whether its drinking tyring to be hydrated or eating enough i still end up seeing double about half way through my second moto. It almost never fails and i dont know what to do about it, i eat good, drink plenty of water/gatorade to get hydrated i just dont know what to do! any thoughts??

Weird. How are your nerves? Have you thought about adrenalin? Adrenalin will kind of make everything seem a blur. Blood pressure? Are there any other weird things happening when you see double?

Hows your physical fitness? Do you start to get really tired when this is happening?

[amnesia622]

Do you have this issue when you practice?

[Yamaman2007]

Umm no it has never happened to me when i just ride, only racing and yes im usually tired as hell when it happenes. my adrenaline i dont think is the cause cause its usually only pumping really hard at the start.

Sounds like your race pace is harder than your practice pace, which is what you want. Also sounds like you need to get into better cardio shape....have you tried jogging or bicycling?

Try this the next time: drink some de-fizzed (let it sit open for an hour) Coke with sugar in it.

I forget the medical for this, but this happens to me during marathons, despite all the training I do. About mile 15 or so, I run out of energy, get a headache, etc. A quick shot of sugar from the de-fizzed Coke restores me. Might be the fix for you too.

Worth a try anyhow.
