I came into T-2 and my bladder was feeling a little full. I made a quick change of shorts (from bibs to tri shorts) and for a second I contemplated charging the run with a piss on deck. I decided that since the porta-john at T-2 had no line, that I should use a bathroom.
I didn't have to pee the rest of the way.
I have the same bladder 'limitations'. First time I tried it was in a full where I went 4-5 times on the bike. It was a little trickier because the course was dead flat. The trick was thinking about going whilst peddling with moderate effort. Then coast for a few secs, perhaps take pressure off by standing just enough to get flow commencing then I can sit back down and continue peddling whilst still peeing. Takes concentration mind you.
The first race I did it I was so pumped I also tried it on the run but it sprayed out through my trisuit like a tiger spraying a tree and a group of spectators saw it. IN future races I too decided to use T2 portaloo, which tend to be free as I have usually been towards the front (ie anywhere from 5:50-6:10 hrs in). These end up being quite a long pee but as you too discovered I never felt the need to go again on the run.
I do tend to get a bit of a skin irritation post race right where leg seam meets crotch but not sure if it's urine related or outdated trishort related.
It is a nice feeling each time you go because you can just focus on your riding and not think about the need to go.
