I would have thought that the CO2 would have been eliminated from the body in relation to the difference in pO2 between the blood and the gas in the lungs, in the same way that other inert gasses are eliminated.

From experience [not a CO2 hit] the ammount of O2 I use may raise slightly after a 2 minute 'sprint', possibly due to the body still switching from aneerobic to aerobic and then trying to recover after the excercise [trying to push the bus at Guildy over].

As CO2 is carried in the blood plasma as well/instead of the red cells there might be more capacity to have CO2 out of the cells, and it is possibly eliminated faster?
