I've passed out quite a few times in my life. I used to play hurling (mud lot style) and would push myself so far that I'd probably pass out once or twice a month. but I wasn't the only one, it's a rather physical game.
I've bonked when mountain biking before and when road riding, but this was MUCH different. And oh boy the dreams I had while I was out of it. Some strange ****.
