User blog:Sandwich989/Officialy the most emberassing thing to ever happen to me...

Ok, so Im doing cross country for my high school. Usually they start all the new freshman off with a half-mile jog (easy), drills (easy), then for "practice" we run 3+ miles. Then we do ab workouts and muscle training, then we get to ride our bikes home. Sounds easy, right?

Well today, starts my 3rd training day. Monday was my first, Thursday was my second, and today my 3rd. Tue and Wed were taken up by Freshman orientation.

So, I go to practice just as normal, because I basically have there routine done. BUT, since Thursday my knees have been throbbing, so of course that slowed me down. Heres the good part:

After the jog, were doing our drills. My knees are throbbing so im struggling to keep up. Well, we finished and our coaches are talking to us. One of our toughest coaches is going down on some guys because they still havent turned in any paperwork. By this point, my knees feel like their gonna fail, so I decide that as soon as anyone is out of hearing, I will go up to one of the coaches and ask them if I can sit out for the 3 mile run.


 * Now this is the good part***

I turn to walk around because I also dont have any paperwork turned in, and the mean coach was coming my way. I walk around to hide behind the tall guys, and for some mysterious reason I start to feel dizzy and its becoming dark. All I remember is putting my arms over my head because its super dizzy, and I fall over and pass out (fainting is for girls, passing out is for guys, according to my sister)

So its dark, and Im conscious for a second, and I can tell everyone is surrounding me. My coaches are at my side, and I here someone saying "911", and for some reason, the only one in the crowd that stood out is the shaggy haired blond senior guy on my team. Dont ask me why, I have no idea why I remembered him. Anyway, I pass out again and this time I wake up, but Im on the sidelines and the first thing I do, is puke. At first I was shocked because Im like No! 11 years of hard work of not puking and I puke here!? and then I realized that this is happening, so I puke again. I will always remember the way my throat felt like it was on fire, and the fact that my stomach was moving in and out convulsively and way to fast.

But you know, after puking my eyes sort of un-blurred and I could here again. The coaches are all worried. One of them is in front of me, they're all trying to make me talk. And Im just sitting there blankly staring and looking around. I finally say "Fine" and they all relax. So they just called my mom, they were talking to me. I realize that they made everyone go on the other side of the fence, and they're all just in a group talking, and the mean coach told everyone to go home.

So at the hospital, im actually all fine again. I spent the whole waiting period watching Maury and Jerry Springer. Basically I tell them that it was just an ordinary day, and the only pain I felt was in my knees (the throbbing). They ran test to make sure my heart is working properly, and that I was not dehydrated or anything like that.

All tests turned out negative. Which means nothing was wrong with me, at all.

Turns out Im a medical mystery.

The only bad thing is that when I go back to practice, all the stares from everyone I dont know (which is everyone) and when I get back to school (it starts wednesday) all the people would know that I couldn't even survive 3 days of cross country b4 passing out and puking.

Oh well, :/
