Triathletes, disgusting bathroom habits

[nobilis]

Lol, me too!

What the hell are these guys eating pre-race!

lots of fibers i guess.

It's happening to me lately when i go for long runs but never during cycling. I always manage to get home on time but the end of the run would look more like fast walking

last year one of the Eurosport guys is Sweden was telling a story about this....

So one of the big names can´t remember his name was in a leading group of 3 doing some sort of circuit 10 - 15 km.

In in the 70´s so cloth hats - anyway these 3 are minutes ahead and will go for the win, when all of a sudden he needs to crap, this riders thinking can´t stop what do I do.

In a downhill section shorts down bum over the back of the saddle and craps into his hat. Does the job, but then thinks now what do I do ?

People all over the place, anyway a few kms later he can´t see any fans on the side of the road so hat and crap goes flying of into the bushes on the side of the road, he then looks up to see a family running towards where he threw the hat.

We on the next loop he was dodging rocks and abuse.

Traditional pre-Ironman dinner of burritos, tamales, and chili.

This is a true story about Knut Knudsen.

We pack bikes for traveling athletes, and we once had to do a tri bike that had the distinct odor of ****. Guys (and gals), please wash your bikes before taking them in for packing!

I raced at IMNZ in March this year. Saw plenty of people 'going to the bathroom' on the bike. I couldn't manage it if I tried.
Although I must say, it poured rain all day, so most of the bikes would have been 'urine free' by the time they were racked.

I used to work as a diveguide some years ago there. During the longer dives i also peed into my wetsuit, you can instantly flush it with sea water, so no big deal. It was just a matter of confort after an hour into the dive.

There is a lot of discussion going on in diving forums touching this kind of problem while in a drysuit There are special condoms and even peevalves.

On the bicycle or while runnig, for sure you can stop. It takes you 20 sec maybe 30 compared to the overall time and the huge embaressment..

Aren't there aerourinbottles so far ? I don't doubt triathletes would buy them like everthing available on the market..

It's not like marathon runners are any better

Eddy Planckaert once shot his load on his bike.

I hope it was not the time he spent the last 30kms looking at Phil Andersons **** that year at Flanders?

LeMond. With diarrhea. Staying on his bike.

At least he won that Tour, otherwise he'd have had to kill himself.

Yup. Not nice. He recently said in an interview:

"GL: Well, I never really did learn the polite version of the language. Years later, being interviewed by French TV, I would make grammar mistakes and sound really rough. For example, the first year I won the Tour de France, I had diarrhea on one stage, and when they interviewed me afterwards I said; "I had the ****s" on TV. That night, a French professor drove something like six hours and sat in front of my house waiting for me to get home. When I finally did, he told me I should be using the polite grammar forms and to never swear on TV - but I never really changed much!"http://www.pedalmag.com/index.php?module=Section&action=viewdetail&item_id=15990
