Another TAD, another bad gut day, but some answers!

RUN 54 mins and 6.6 miles, 8:12 pace!
SWIM 74 mins and 3000 yards, 8x200

So like the title said, another bad day for my gut. The run-down:

5am usual preWO of sweet potato, ghee, egg whites, salt, cinnamon, half banana

6-7am run. First Thursday run in shorts! So different too because the sun was up and we didn't need headlights. The last 1-2 miles logged as just under sub 8. Beautiful sunrise morning :)

715-730 food processed apple, egg whites, salt, half banana

745-9am swim 8x200 as 2 fast, 1 slow, 2 fast, 1 slow, 2 fast. And oooh was I getting fast. Relatively fast anyway. I was clocking the fast 200's in 3:46-3:50! It helped that my energy was great and the older woman who joined my lane was wearing an awful heavy perfume. I was motivated to go fast and I confess I made a few big splashes when I passed her.  Hehehehe.

920- gut pains! I waited a while in the parking lot of the Y, then started driving, got to the Grove and pulled over to think. Go home and lie down? Park the truck, lie down there to wait it out? I knew from the past few events that just 15 mins of rest would help. I went home, and sure enough I hit the couch and 15 mins later was OK. By 1030 I was OK, and by 11am had something to eat.

So this was a good thing really, my wondering about FODMAPS, SIBO, food sensitivity...I don't think I need to worry about that so much! Like a great experiment, a lot of info can come from this. I ate a narrow range of foods, all usual foods, and had a very defined timeline.

I mapped, analyzed, thought about it...and when DH looked at my notes he noticed that it was two-a-day days that was maybe the problem. Was I eating too much for these workouts? Too much in the midWO meal?

I can remember having attacks like this last summer, and I've had a number of these 'events' so far this year. I'm sure with some more thinking I can figure this out.
