Going Potty while biking and running?

Do the fast guys and girls just piss their shorts while running and biking or do they stop and go? Maybe splash some water down there to rinse off?

How many kids? How old? Because only a Parent would say “Potty”

:smiley:

Shit happens…

You bet they do - and some dont really stop at just taking a leak. I witnessed Scott Tinley dropping his drawers and dropping a bomb while he was chasing down Michael McCormack in Pentiction in 1991 and I also had the misfortune of running behind Donna Peters in Ironman out on the Queen K and she was going through a rough patch so she just pulled the bathing suit to the side and well … no description necessary, I switched sides of the road for that bit (I know yellow line violation :slight_smile:

Between the swim, sweat, and occasionally pouring/squirting water on my head and face, I figure I’m already wet, so…
I can’t speak to the other, as I’ve only ever raced one 70.3, so it’s never come up as a problem with mostly short races.

Freaken Hilarious!!! That made tea come out of my nose. With a big sigh…thank you.

triathlon requires you to excel in 3 disciplines. be sure to piss yourself while swimming too.

Have a water bottle on your bike that you don’t need to drink or try and plan it close to an aid station so you can get another one. If you’re a guy, send it down one leg to minimize the soiling. After you go, use the water to rinse yourself off. A descent is the best so try and find a non-technical one and let it rip while coasting. After the race, the only really smelly item will be your shoe and sock from the chosen side (and that running shoe if you don’t change socks). If you have young kids, bring a few of those scented plastic bags used for dirty diapers and put your smelly stuff in them after the race so your whole suitcase doesn’t get infected. If not, a scented garbage bag will do. When I get home, I soak the shoe(s) in a bucket of water/laundry detergent. I’ve not gone while running but some do.

If you want to avoid having to go #2, don’t eat any solid food the whole day. Some even start liquids only with lunch the day before the race.
