At Augusta, I was on the first lap of the run and was passed by a gentleman who had totally crapped his shorts with nasty diarrea. It was all over the back of his leg, streaked down and running into his shoes. Now granted he may have been setting a PR and didn’t want to stop. His pace was probably about 7:15 min/mile. Hell, he may have even been a pro; I couldn’t see the marker on his calf due to the sh$t. I’m just curious if this is accetable, if this has ever happened to you, or would you let it happen to you? Me, I think I would take the two minutes to try and clean up in T2 or at first aid station. I don’t fault the guy, it was just a little nasty to look at.
You know what they say…don’t knock it until you try it 
Seriously though, that’s never crossed my mind. I’m slow and the difference in going 5:55 and 5:53 in a 70.3 is not nearly enough to make me crap myself.
Gross…

it’s not acceptable to be eating fresh pankcakes and read this post. ;(

Pretty sure poop doesn’t come out the front…
I believe someone said this guy puked.

Nope. He was placing very high at a fairly high level race in Europe. And poop will come out wherever there is an opening. Think of the shorts like a loose diaper.

I did a sprint race this past weekend, and from about minute 3 of the run I was occupied with thoughts of “Bushes, let it go, or hold it”.
I held it, but was worried every time a fart reared it’s head that something else might come with it.
Fortunately I made it to the finish line and the rest room.
Perhaps this guy was thinking the same thing, and he got a little surprise with his fart.

That’s what my fiancee said. And this was way way more than a “little” surprise
Probably should have worn SNL’s ‘Oops! I crapped my pants’ underwear.

That would be a “shart”.

What were you expecting based on the title? An updated Hottie Thread or something?
Well dont forget the glorious Uta Pipig winning Boston moment caught on USAToday. My Mom later told me that she couldnt believe the muscle definition on Uta… and I had to tell her, that wasnt muscle, it was poo. Mom was shocked that she would still run and embarrass herself. Yeah, all the way to a Boston win.
But at the Cherry Blossom 10 miler one year I was chugging along at about a 7 minute pace at mile 6 or so and smelled something horrid. Just couldnt get away from it and thought I was going to hurl. It was a girl running near me with a toxic waste stream flowing behind her. 35 degrees plus or minus. I had to go hard for a mile to get away from her as she just didnt care, but I thought I was going to be seriously sick.
It takes all kinds…
I love Cherry Blossom, one of my all-time favorite races.
Glad I was never near that girl or it could have ruined it for me!
A couple of years ago Paula Radcliffe stopped on the side of the road and took a dump during the London Marathon.

IIRC it was a number 1, not a number 2.
Steve Cram on the BBC live commentary explained Paula’s stop&squat in the gutter as ‘stretching out a cramp’.
Never acceptable, even if you’re leading its -
