first day of training...I threw up

So i've decided to start racing and take cycling more seriously, I've been riding my whole life but never competitively. I'm still trying to figure out a training schedule but today i thought i start out with some intervals since i ride solo allot and want to keep up on the accelerations of group riding.

I wasn't feeling the best, maybe because I woke up at 11 am, ate a grilled chicken sandwich at 12 and start biking at 1:30, an odd schedule for me. Did some climbing intervals for 10 miles or so, came back down into the rose bowl and on the second lap I pushed a little too hard and after a particularly intense sprint i pulled over, thew up on the edge of the golf course! some golfers came by and offered me water i laughed and said no thanks i'm fine. Felt great after though! Did two more laps and went home.

oddly enough this isn't the first time I've thrown up in sports, when i first moved to California and started surfing the salt water would make me throw up. And when i was a ski racer sometimes in dryland i would push too hard once and while and loose it.

maybe I should carry a bag with me so next time I can hurl on the fly?
