Hey, I have never posted on slowtwitch before, although I read the forum fairly regularly, so in the interest of full disclosure, my name is Barry Bryant, I use my salary as U.S. Magistrate Judge to support my triathlon habit. Several members of my local club volunteered at Chattanooga and worked the Men's Change Tent in order to be able to sign up for next year.

While agree with the sentiment and wording if it was outside the tent then my shoes would have been already on and I am sure I have stepped in piss before in shoes on Bourbon Street, bar bathrooms, and pretty much every gas station bathroom I have ever been in so not that big of a deal.

While I may agree with your point, how did you respond and what steps did you take? I think it is highly inappropriate to call out a pro athlete several weeks after an event on a public forum IF (you apparently didn't) you did not address it with race officials/the athlete/volunteer captain/other authority first. IF you did none of the above, I unfortunately think your post may be as inappropriate as his conduct.

So, you think the statute of limitations for pissing on the changing tent floor is less than a month?! Assuming this happened, it is so disgusting that a public reprimand is hardly sufficient punishment.

It's probably urban legend but way back in the day, swimmers could false start and not get DQ'd (not sure how far back that happened). Legend was, swimmers would swim back in next guys lane, get out and tell the dude he just pissed in his lane. I'm going to steal a Starky commentary, but the mental gymnastics must have been fun to watch.

Having only raced IMLP a couple times, I am not an IM veteran. But this thread seems to imply that there is not a urinal in the changing tent at all IMs. Is this true about IMCHOO or did he just decide that the latrine was to far away?

Wrong. So you believe we should just let it go. When you state that he "spent way too much time worrying about this" you are attempting to dismiss his valid complaint and make it as if he is making a big deal out of a small infraction.

Some of us chose to live in a society where we do have some rules. Of. Decency. Civility. And. Yes. Even in a triathlon. Even in the heat of competition.

It is not like he did not have control of his bodily functions. That is completely different. We can all recall the various endurance events when control was lost by a competitor. This is an accident. An embarrassing accident.

Brandon's urinating upon arriving at the changing tent was not. It was a rude, embarrassing disgusting act of self-centeredness.

Little odd, never seen someone urinate in a changing tent lol. Doesn't really bother me since I pee on my bike, but would hate to be a volunteer in that tent after that.


I can't understand why he wouldn't just wait and piss on the bike or at least do it running out of T1.


I guess it sounds like he pissed in the tent during T2; but totally agree, go on the bike, or worse case go while you are running..
EDIT: He should have gotten a yellow card (no pun intended) Urinating from the bike or in transition zones


Continue with piss-gate

Gosh, I've pooped on the side of a trail a few times during races, which is gross and horrible, but it made sense at the time.

I gotta ask: was the race distance too far to risk sacrificing a sock? Can't remember how many times I've finished a 15+ miler in the woods/country with only one sock on.

Its better to be pissed off than pissed on. I'm not sure where walking through piss falls on the spectrum though...

Thank God urine is sterile, you could drink it if you had to. Crazy fact for the day, there are greater than 1 million microorganisms in a gram of dirt; if you want a sterile changing environment, ain't gunna happen.

Good grief. You must have received your medical degree from dr. google. Urine. Sterile. Lol!

Even the healthiest of people have some bacteria in their urine. There is nothing "sterile" about urine.

Wrong again...the urine in your bladder is indeed sterile unless you have a UTI. You rinse the epithelia of your urethra when you urinate (that's a basic concept with regards to the innate immune system creating a barrier to infection if you have ever taken an immunology course), which would contribute to bacteria in the urine of an individual that does not have a UTI. That's why a mid-stream catch must be performed to properly diagnose a UTI by measuring bacteria in the urine.

If you want to play this game because you are an internet bully, go right ahead.

Seriously buddy, that was not your smartest move. Judge or not. I would never have given out that much information. You might want to try to delete and censor as I have done when quoting you. Maybe PM slowman and try to get that deleted. Soon. Next time just say something like "I'm in a legal profession". I'm in a legal type profession and I never say what it is specifically because the internet and forums can burn you if you're not careful.

Couple things. When I ran into transition (in my socks) at IMCHOO I was hopping and skipping over and around puddles to find a chair that had no fluid on it and a safe place to set my bag down. I'm not a huge fan of other peoples body fluids but it is a race and some people when they get off their bike after 5 hours they may not be able to hold it. I like it when they have the portable urinals in the tents, except the one time I dropped my nutrition bag in it (I thought for 1 sec should I grab it :)). The other thing about IMCHOO was it was an asphalt floor so it allowed the fluids to remain pooled.

Peeing on purpose in change tent: Totally Unacceptable.
Unable to control peeing: It happens.

FYI I Pee'd in the Honey Bucket and it took 11 seconds if you really care.

Well the pro is aware of this thread....someone tweeted him a heads up and he replied with a "thanks for the heads up", so perhaps we will get the other side of the story as well.

I was initially alarmed when I saw the judge post his name and position, but then realized it really isnt that big of a deal. At some point, one of the ST sleuths would have figured it out anyway.

Bbryant: Did he just run in and whip it out and start peeing on the ground? Did he at least try to get out of the way, off to the side?? I don't care how redlined you are...I am pretty sure he would have been DQd had that been seen by an official....at least he should have been.

I see no problem whatsoever with the identifying information; it adds a tremendous amount of credibility to the description of an event that calls out for public shaming. How exactly will he be "burned" by demanding that professional triathletes adhere to minimal standards of decency? Plus, I'm a litigator and have quite a bit of experience appearing before U.S. magistrate judges; whatever negative statements may be made in this thread are really nothing compared to what he likely deals with on a daily basis.

I see a number of people that are bent out of shape about the prospect of stepping in someone else's urine, but not a single mention of swimming - face first - through a warm, buoyant current of swim-start urine. Is diluted urine splashing across your face truly less outrageous than potential urine underfoot?

Priorities, people! It's time we ban swim-start urination.

I volunteered in the women's tent. I lost count of the number of women who sat down and urinated in the chairs. At a few were FOP's and had some accidental urine leakage due to childbirth/pelvic floor issues. Most were apologetic. One had accidental leakage and then asked if she could finish peeing. The rest just sat down and peed--a lot (as in a lot of women and a lot of urine). One women peed and then spent forever in transition changing and then talking to friends afterwards.. The accidental pees I get, but the intentional peeing when the port-a-potties were right outside of transition I don't understand.
