I forgot to mention that I met a future girlfriend at that party - I was kinda shy but she asked me out later. And a former err something, girlfriend/crushee/whatever came over, hung out for a few hours, drove me home (hers), and drove me back the next morning so I could go ride. That just makes the story a bit better So I couldn't have been that bad that night. Or I was so bad that I was.. never mind.

The future girlfriend is an ex- now but she visited a race to say hi and stuff this year. It's been a long, long time, maybe 8 years, and since she moved to Brazil right after we split up, I was shocked to say the least. The host of the party (long time racer) came in to registration give me a heads up, about 20 seconds before the women walked in (her and her sister). I was stunned.

Just to clarify this has absolutely nothing to do with vomiting from an effort.
