Nature Break on Bike/Run during IM?

Do a head check on the bike, if clear let it fly.  On the run I'd use the bushes if that seemed to be the norm or try and wait for a porta-potty if others weren't using the bushes.

I wouldn't go out and practice peeing on the bike but I will say it isn't natural.  There is a technique - you really have to work at getting the pump primed.

I'll stop at bike special needs and just pee....even if I didnt feel like it.

I'll try to hit the loo at T2 as well.  Feels better to run with a lighter load

Being in the military, I have peed in some WEIRD places.  But nothing (and I mean NOTHING) can ever convince me that anywhere but at LEAST a porta-potty is a good place to pee.  I am an avid fan of getting OFF the bike...Now, you fellas are lucky in that bushes are a suitable alternative.  But that just does not work as well for us gals....

My strategy?  If I'm doing THAT long a race, I can surely afford 30 seconds to duck into a porta-potty to pee

I tried and tried and tried and tried and tried to go on the bike, but just couldn't! 

That is a skill that I desperately want to learn.

I found that while I am sitting in the seat I need to work to basically "fill the hose."  When i think step 1 is done I stand for a few seconds until it starts flowing, then I can sit down and enjoy myself

It just kind of seeps out and runs down the bottom of your shorts where it then blows behind you.  Hopefully you did check to make sure the coast was clear before you started!

Strange how excited I was when I discovered I had this ability.  At the Disney Half I did not see one person stopping at the side of the road.  Disney made it very clear it would be a DQ if you were seen relieving yourself on the course.
