Well Done!

+1 mph Faster

It was only a matter of time.

Best one I've seen today!!

That is B.S.

Show me the science on this. Wouldn't buoyancy be the same whether gas contained in my bowels or wetsuit? Unless displacement increases in wetsuit, but I doubt it.

This is as dumb as the supertuck rule.

Their ruling contains a lengthy scientific study. Farting is faster.

You clearly didn’t read the link. Check the date before you get too worked up.

As long as I can still capture some air with my tire pump before we swim, I have no objections.

Man I wish this was real. If farting made you faster I would win Kona.

As someone who farts frequently, I don't think it's fair that they're taking away one of my few advantages.

They have issued even more ridiculous rules for real in the past.

Safe to say I ain't gonna "Eat Your Bubbles"

I'm down with that rule so long as we can still pee in our wetsuits.

Another well done April 1 by Trek.

If you pee in your wetsuit, can you get disqualified because your are over temperature?

You silly English Knnnnnigut, I don't need to read the link to know that science is on my side in this matter, any day and everyday. But even if I can't fart in your general direction in ITU races, I can increase my buoyancy by stuffing little pebbles in my suit.

😂😂😬😬

I enjoy the Monte Python references, but since it is no longer April Fool's day, I think I'll just tell you that this was a joke so you can put your pitchfork and torch down now...

I agree, but I trick the rules.....I wait till I’m on the run. Jet propulsion. I am respectful of my fellow competitors....if you get my “ drift”. It is a family trait.

I use it all up on the bike. I usually finish my split without taking a single pedal stroke.

I still lapped everyone on the couch!

We used to have a cartoon hanging in the service area of a shop I worked at, which showed a lone rider way off the front looking back, while the pack was gagging and coughing. The caption was "Jim misunderstood when he was told to go to the front and break the wind"

"I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, and I don't know why!"

The science is there bro, the advantage is well proven in peer reviewed studies. In fact, it's so big that ITU is considering penalising those benefiting from drafting flatulent swimmers.

Sorry, I think that the ITU should ban wetsuits because of the increased buoyancy. Before the era of wetsuits the key to do cold water swimming was acclimation which everyone in the past century considered a standard thing in their training. Why can't athletes now do so?!

Forget the buoyancy, the thrust from a well executed swim fart is like having a motor on the bike, and similarly can discourage drafting... cheating for sure!


This was a well played one, I saw that Phoenix Team ran their Sub 6 Ironman for 2022 with Blummenfelt and Ali Brownlee...
