Have you ever exercised so strenuously that you had to throw up?

Yesterday I over-exercised. I worked out so strenuously that I got nauseated and I felt like I had to throw up. Did you ever do that? I looked it up and there's a Wikipedia article on "exercise-induced nausea." What happens is that when you are engaged in extreme activity, your body diverts blood from the stomach to the respiratory system where it is needed to fuel the heart because the heart has priority. Then the stomach doesn't get enough oxygenated blood and you get nauseated. Isn't that wild?

Then last night, I was so pumped up I couldn't sleep !! I am taking a break today!!
