The Finish Line Salute

You crossed the line, gave it 110%, and now you are bent over, heaving but nothing is coming out. That's a Dry Heave.

Causes

• Acidosis: High levels of lactate/acid in the blood.
• Dehydration: Lack of fluid to vomit.
• Adrenaline: The body's stress response interfering with digestion.

It's unpleasant, but often a badge of honor showing you left absolutely everything on the course.
