For the first time ever, I passed out while exercising today... it sucks. 4 hours of sleep (thank you diffeq), severe dehydration (oops) and a retardedly fast pace on the rowing machines led to me passing out for the better part of 20 minutes. There are two other guys on my floor who also over-exerted as well, one of whom (my RLA, in fact) also threw up afterwards. The reason? We were doing 6-person relays, where each person would do 1000 meters, let everyone else go through, then row another 500 (1500 total, 9k for the whole group). The last thing I remember after my first 1000 was that I wouldn't be able to do the last 500... when I came to later, my group was done, the other groups were within 200 meters, and there were 4 other people out cold.
Crew is a brutally demanding sport. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It only gets harder once you get in a boat too (because those things can flip...)
Ok, too little sleep, too much activity... I most definitely need some shut-eye. I wonder where my roommate is.
