Hi
Do you stop to pee during the bike-split? If not; do you just let it out in your pants or do you take you “thing” out on the side and do what you have to while riding the bike?
Which distance do you race?

please leave it inside!
Absolutely. 1/2 or full I go while I ride. I have to stop pedaling for a few seconds but it beats getting off the bike. Shorter races than that, just hold it. Put your bike shoes in a bag until you get home and can air them out.
Hell yeah. I learned this when I was a cyclist and racing on different teams - never stop to pee. Use some judgement and don’t do it near transition, spectators, or when passing (unless someone really deserves it… j/k). That said, don’t take it out either. We don’t need to know your religion
Sometimes the mobile-wizz has added benefits. At IM-CH last month, it was so cold and nasty that I looked forward these moments, if only for the warmth. I was pretty surprised at the number of guys stopping - never saw that in a stage race or the like.
Once you master that, learn to pee while running… it’s a moment of zen when you do this.
Happy… um… yeah.
only when I sneeze…
How to pee whilst riding your bike.

do you take you “thing” out on the side and do what you have to while riding the bike?
Uh, nope. Mine’s not detachable.
Although, I understand detachable models do exist:
Ah, well, since you asked…
With a one pice suit on you just kind of stand up off the saddle, lean to one side and pee. With a disk wheel this can be an unsavory operation as the residual seems to make its way onto the disk where centrifugal force has a way of spraying it everywhere- back on you, on top of your water bottle (ewwww) and on the poor fellows that may be unfortunate enough to be close to you. As such, I usually perform such bodily function when coasting down a hill and out of sight of anyone who may take offense at seeing a grown man wet himself.
Really? I have always found it much easier to pee while running than riding.
Do you pee in your pants?
If the bar is so crowded that I estimate over a 5 minute delay until I reach a urinal, then yes, I do.

This is a pretty weak ass attempt at trolling, but hey you got some bites. If you are going to troll at least be subtle, this post is basically “sticking your butt cheeks against the glass” type of stuff. There is a fine line between clever and stupid and you are on the stupid side of the line.

No, not trolling. It was a serious question following an ironman this weekend where i stopped to pee three-four times during the bike leg and lost at least three minutes doing that.
Stupid? Hope not…

Full IM(x3) from T0 to T2 I hold it. Coming out on the run I hit the first port-a-potty.
Half-IM most of the time I skip the bathroom completely until the finish.
Never, never in my clothing, unless I have GI distress. Only once(or maybe twice) in training runs, released with less than 1/4 mile to go. Yuck!
On the bike…not really.
On the run…one word…“sponges”. You know…the ones you get from aide stations.
Only every day
.
If your gonna do it, just do so and try to clean up with water or something after but before you get to the run. At steelhead last week somebody reaked of urine for a couple miles on the run. I personally had to go from mile 2 on, during the run but just held it till the end.
Absolutely…Saves time and gets drafters of of my wheel if they’re back there.

Hopefully you are kidding. If not publish your race schedule and I will definitely avoid those races.
The sponges to the face are what produce my good-paced tri runs. I don’t drink the water, but it goes all over my head and face.

I use the potty, because I’m a big boy now.
Maybe when you get big like me, your mommy will teach you how to use the potty.
I was passing a woman that stood up and let it go. Luckily I was off to her side. I was disgusted and decdied that I could wait till an aid station or transition. Before that I always had a difficult time trying to relax enough to go anyway.
Go out and practice in a group ride and report back!
