You know what they say...don't knock it until you try it :)

Seriously though, that's never crossed my mind. I'm slow and the difference in going 5:55 and 5:53 in a 70.3 is not nearly enough to make me crap myself.

Gross...

It's not about the bike, it's just along for the ride.

Pretty sure poop doesn't come out the front....

I believe someone said this guy puked.

Nope. He was placing very high at a fairly high level race in Europe. And poop will come out wherever there is an opening. Think of the shorts like a loose diaper.

I did a sprint race this past weekend, and from about minute 3 of the run I was occupied with thoughts of "Bushes, let it go, or hold it".

I held it, but was worried every time a fart reared it's head that something else might come with it.

Fortunately I made it to the finish line and the rest room.



Perhaps this guy was thinking the same thing, and he got a little surprise with his fart.

That's what my fiancee said. And this was way way more than a "little" surprise

Probably should have worn SNL's 'Oops! I crapped my pants' underwear.

What were you expecting based on the title? An updated Hottie Thread or something?

Well dont forget the glorious Uta Pipig winning Boston moment caught on USAToday. My Mom later told me that she couldnt believe the muscle definition on Uta... and I had to tell her, that wasnt muscle, it was poo. Mom was shocked that she would still run and embarrass herself. Yeah, all the way to a Boston win.

But at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler one year I was chugging along at about a 7 minute pace at mile 6 or so and smelled something horrid. Just couldnt get away from it and thought I was going to hurl. It was a girl running near me with a toxic waste stream flowing behind her. 35 degrees plus or minus. I had to go hard for a mile to get away from her as she just didnt care, but I thought I was going to be seriously sick.

It takes all kinds...

I love Cherry Blossom, one of my all-time favorite races.

Glad I was never near that girl or it could have ruined it for me!

A couple of years ago Paula Radcliffe stopped on the side of the road and took a dump during the London Marathon.

x2. Hrm. "I'm eating lunch, I think I'll look at a poop thread. There's BOUND to be pictures!"

IIRC it was a number 1, not a number 2.

Steve Cram on the BBC live commentary explained Paula's stop&squat in the gutter as 'stretching out a cramp'.

Never acceptable, even if you're leading its -

Be known by a small minority for winning a race in an obscure sport
Be know by many for being on the front page of Failblog or Youtube.

"...and he got a little surprise with his fart."

Well said.

Last year at IM Lou I was "running" towards the turn at the end of the first lap and there was a girl in front of me with white compression socks on. From a distance it looked like she had mud running down her legs. I remember thinking to myself as I was catching her that she much have had a wreck or somehow fallen down in transition and gotten dirty.

Obviously, you know how this story ends. The closer I got the more obvious it became. In fact, once I got within earshot it sounded like she was praying out loud for divine help in getting her to the finish.

The catch was, at least from what I could observe at the time, this girl was SMOKING hot. I was only running slightly faster than her, so as I was slowly making my pass it was funny when the other (male) athletes would first "check her out" as we moved past, then to have their look change dramatically when she completed the pass and they realized what was going on.

Oh, and I'm not to proud to admit that she headed down the finish chute (no pun intended) as I made the turn to the 2nd lap. Don't know if she was really fast or was DNF'ing, but that's where she went.

The spectators in the background are priceless. If those aren't WTF looks, I don't know what is!
