With a Triathlete's World magazine subscription, you can find out how to avoid feeling sick during or after a race.
It is quite common to feel queasy during a race - it's called exercise-induced nausea - but it could be caused by consuming either too many or not enough fluids, nutritionist Pip Taylor told Triathlete's World magazine.
"Develop a fluid and electrolyte plan based on your sweat rate/concentration but also be prepared to be flexible and react to environmental conditions as well as how you are feeling," she advises.
It could be that your sickness is caused by the gel, bars or anything you use during a race so it is vital you have a practice before the important day itself, suggests Triathlete's World magazine.
"Practise eating during training. Try to eat what and when you would during a race," advises Taylor.
Also, she suggests monitoring your blood sugar levels throughout your workout or during your race practice as this can contribute to the nausea.
The Runner's Guide suggests people consume pasta, breads and rice before a race - but advises not to eat too much as it can lead to the feeling of bloatiness.
