I don’t know what the big deal is… open up your neck and let some fresh water wash it out.
Had an awesome race tday and it sure wouldn’t have been if I had held it. 31 minute 1 mile swim (good for me) 23.25 mph for 25 miles, and 6:45’s for 8k. Kudos to Turtleman organizers. It was a great reace. Plus I won a pair of HED Ti 2.7’s in the raffle. Good day.
And, for the record, I have no idea how to spell “peeed”.
Yes but who likes to stop?? And thats the problem…id like to but dont think i could. I can pee OFF the bike while riding but in an IM its too close to call…
My question is can any guy pee ON the bike while still riding and seated? Or standing i guess…maybe thats what I should try. Pee in my shorts while standing. Going to have to try it!!!
I can, and do, pee on the run (and on the bike and in my wetsuit). It is not that hard. I don’t even really slow down. Just go over the top when you are running through a somewhat obscured area (NOT through an aid station, for example) and aim sideways. You WILL get some (and maybe a fair amount) on yourself. I only do it when I race because of this. But it is good to practice here and there. Just relax and let your stride carry you while you pee…
You are out there 10+ hours and you are worried about a 30 second urination?
And this is why I will always stop. Unless you are competing for age-group hardware or a Kona spot, you can damned sure find a bush or port-o-john like a civilized human being. Wait, what did I just say?
