Just kind of curious as to how many of you handle the inevitable out on the bike course. Is it out of bounds to pee while ridding. I have no problem standing, turning sideways and doing the job. One must be on a slight downhill or tailwind of course, but is this a tri no-no. I have a fine line of too much liquids and sometimes my body just expells too much (Last 10 miles of my last marathon I had to go, full bladder, every mile.) If this were to occur in a tri I'd hate to get off every 15 minutes. When performing the above manuever, I pull all the way to the right, never by a crowd. Sorry for this one, but would it be better to just let it go. It's just about all water anyway, right?

Uncomfortable question 2

Does anyone try to regulate irregularity by either laxatives or natural foods before a race. I've often thought of a day before laxative to clean out the night before as to not have to worry on race day. I've had some problems in long bike races (out to the cornfield or woods) and would like to prevent that from happening as it usually is that real crampy got to go now or die feeling. Perhaps many don't suffer or need to worry, but this is a factor I have to deal with and any imput would be helpfull.

Don't mean to spoil anyones breaktime here, just like to take care of the big things in life.
