Re: Shit yourself and become a ST god [Igot Yourback]

Personally, I think he's a freakin' idiot. I can understand an accident. What I can't understand is not taking a couple of minutes to clean yourself off. What I can understand even less is if he knew he was going to deuce in his shorts and just didn't care because he was hell-bent on that Kona slot.
All this ridicule and being now known as Poopman isn't worth it. I don't get how some can praise what he did. Yes, his time is certainly impressive. Yes, I'll give him some credit for being an amazingly focused individual. It's all a negative after that.

I think it is the 9:09 component that makes you a ST god.
Just shit yourself and do a 12:00 hour IM and it would be a different story.
Someone should give it a try and see what happens :)

I agree. Maybe some of the twits here think that's cool, but what about your friends, family and co-workers when they find out? That's not a good perception.
Now, let me make it clear, if he had a medical condition, I understand that it happens, but not stopping to clean yourself up is unsportsmanlike conduct.
I could care less if the guy won overall. He is an idiot and should have been DQ'd. By not washing himself off, and passing a competitor, he forced the competitor to smell that. Maybe that forced the said competitor to drop back so they did not puke. Is that fair? If you have an 'accident' in a hospital, that waste is treated as a biohazard. Who knows if he has any diseases? What if he ran by you and splashed some of his crap on you? Would anyone stop to wipe that off? I sure would.
This is disgusting. He should lose his Kona spot over it. Anything less is encouraging this kind of repulsive behavior.

Please go take a Xanax and calm down. Then come back to an educated discussion.
What if he was disgusted by a bunch of fat people that were impeding him on the run? Maybe he could have gone sub 9 had the 'others rotund' not been in his way. Who gives a damn what any one else thinks, if he is comfortable in his own skin finishing a marathon after having crapped himself who are we to judge. You wouldn't do it, thats cool. Most wouldn't. Are you seriously pulling the biohazard card? You are aware aren't you that athletes crap themselves on a fairly regular basis. Google: runners trots then come back.

Uh, runners do NOT crap themselves on a regular basis...at least the normal people I know. Maybe the freaks you associate with may be a different story...
Only is this tiny, tiny, world know to us as ST is this kind of freakish behavior normal. It really is sad.
Pulling the bio-hazard card? Just because you are doing an IM doesn't mean abnormal behavior is suddenly acceptable...then again, outside of this place, the majority of what we do is considered highly abnormal.

I think your font is the wrong shade of pink. Otherwise, according to your logic, USAT would be compelled to ban farting, spitting, puking, pissing in the water, and every other human behavior that is either unsanitary or potentially discourteous to others. Your overly-prude, dismissive response leads me to believe that you've never experienced the challege of actually leading a race and the decision logic that dictates one's behavior. Either that, or you have some emotional issues tied to a past fecal experience. My guess is it's a bit of both. So whine all you want - this guy's going to Kona.

I watch a lot of football. Probably more than I should. I also watch some baseball. Miraculously, no one in those sports has brownified his pants that I've seen.

I saw in Ghiagirl's post in another thread about a football player that when he got hit crapped himself. White pants none-the-less... Poor fella. I'll cede its not regular there, but I think veterans of endurance sports can at least relay some familiarity with at least one story, which is kinda my point. This isn't a one in a billion thing.

You don't watch enough then. It happens quite a bit in those sports as well. In fact, I remember a famous one recently, involving the center... (search for Tao of Poo article, I think it's in there)
As far as this incident goes, I'm not sure what I would do. I would definitely at least look hard for an open portalet. If you have to go that bad, it won't take long to do it.

What's the point? We all know you're not really an Ironman unless you break 12 hours... or was it 11 hours? Shit! I forget.

This overly dramatic talk is making this place sound like the comments section in an online newspaper article. Or the Lavender Room. Bless the LR for keeping that type of talk off the rest of the boards.
One thing that is funny about this whole discussion is the double standard that some people have. I once read here someone bragging about their proudest moment in triathlon being when they puked on themselves while passing someone. WTF? So the multicolored badge of courage is OK and even cool but soiling yourself is not? If I wasn't so lazy I could find tons of posts where puking is used as a metric of hard effort and people proud of themselves for doing so. Maybe poop should be the new puke! Hell, Tom Boonen pooped himself and won Paris Roubaix.

Overly-prude? Ha! Not, by normal standards, but again this is ST. Nope, never have, and probably never will lead a race, and if that's what it takes to win, I will pass. Just not worth it in my opinion. Yours is obviously different...and I believe you may be the one that has past issues with bowel control? Since you seem to be OK with this type of behavior, perhaps rationalizing it, alleviates the guilt you feel? I'm out of Xanax, maybe PV has some more...
You guys can form the S-B-R-S tri team. May I suggest white uniforms with a splattering of brown?
I can see it now, Emilio will start marketing HTFU tri shorts. The limited Slowtwitch edition, with have a built in diaper...shit, I may be onto something!

Changing some diapers should help you get over your poop fear. Once your kid projectile defecates on you, you'll reach a new low.

Like the garden of eden the apple signifies the "loss of innocence" in triathlon pooping and was included by the author for this slowtwitch limited edition.
I don't know what the answer is but running a race with shit all over you is going to cause some contoversy.
I think the guy showed incredible focus in his effort, but at the end of the day he's still a guy who is running around with poop all over him.
