So we are sitting in the house here in Penticton, B.C. having dinner. There are two couples, myself (single) and a friend (single). My friend brings up to the married couples that are “old hat” at this Ironman thing; do you think anyone has ever stopped during an Ironman race to use the British vernacular “Shag?” This started an interesting conversation to say the least. Nevertheless, who has heard this old fishing story or partaken in this adventure?

uh isn’t that outside assistance or can it be considered pacing? interesting question.
for sure, i have done that shit 4 times. i would be doing a 9;50 if my was not such a fucking nimpho!! next year in Hawaii, i want to do a 9;30 and still hit that thing !!

I thought the rule was that you’re allowed to hold on to…umm…parts as long as you don’t make forward progress. 
T-1 *and *T-2.
I’d be surprised if anyone has, but what is commonplace is to leave the clock running until you have finished the 4th leg.
I’ve heard of some unverified sub-12s. I’ve done sub-14 (after >3 hours in T3). Hats off, truly, to anyone in the sub-10 club.

So that’s where your username came from.
So you are doing a 9:51 instead of a 9:50…not too much time wasted.
I’m glad somebody else made this joke, so I didn’t have to.
I dont get this question? Are we talking about this DURING the event? Every IM I have done has been very crowded on the bike and run (dont get into the swim). So, you would have to step off the course to accomplish this or it would be the biggest topic on ST since the poop guy. So, arent you DQed if you leave the course? So, if you did, then you are not really an IM finisher. So, no…can’t be done.
Now…trail running…that’s another story…

Nip into a porta loo?
You aren’t DQ if you leave the course as long as you re-enter the course at the exact same point to where you left it. If someone were to pass their hotel/condo/home along bike/run the course, they can step off, take care of their business, and then come back at the exact point. It’s still legal. You probably will get DQ for “littering” though 
I believe you can leave the course as long as you come back in the same place and do not take a short cut. So I do think it would be possible and legal.

Yeah, that’s the first thing I think of when I see an overflowing porta-john on race day.
I would try it but I have such stamina in the sack that I would lose too much time…More likely I’ll just f*ck myself at some point during the race.
There was a couple screwing around in the elevator attached to the Woodloch Bridge during IM Texas. I don’t think they were participants, but they certainly proved the opportunity was there.

Now, are we talking about both parties in said activity being ‘registered participants’ in the race? Or one racer and one spectator? Either way, you’re going to want to get it out of the the way early, before the junk gets too sore. IIRC, there are some nice bushy areas along the McLean Creek climb. Good luck!
On a side note, I am surprised CaptainCanada hasn’t voiced his opinion here yet.
They definitely both have to be registered in the race or it is outside assistance. Although, I don’t know if there is any advantage, no, there definitely is no advantage, but it would be a great story to tell!!! Unfortunately, my wife does not do triathlons, although she does an Ironman frequently…
“Unfortunately, my wife does not do triathlons, although she does an Ironman frequently”
Do you know his name?

So you have to have a partner for it to count??? I never do anything right
