Going to the bathroom on the bike (Page 7)

a rude one post troll, you didn't miss anything.

dying.  i. am. dying right now.

A couple that may apply:

3.4 Race Conduct

e. Re-entry. Upon leaving the course, a participant shall re-enter the course and continue at the same point of departure. Any violation of this Section shall result in a variable time penalty, unless the Head Referee in his sole discretion determines that (i) the violation was substantial and resulted in an unfair time advantage, or (ii) the violation constituted endangerment under Section 3.4(l), in which case the penalty shall be disqualification.

That is why I LOVE the BEAR!!!!!  Bringing senility to an otherwise COOKOO thread!

 I am still waiting . . . My thought when I first read this post was . . . She had a blowout from the rear by accident.  Then played it off as a joke.  But I began to buy into the hype and now I am wondering if I am just a part of a joke . . . A GOOD ONE, but a joke.

Does anyone want to clarify whether this is an actual occurrence (accidental as a result of body mechanical failures OR faulty interpretation, of -  using the bathroom on your bike) or just a REALLY FUNNY JOKE?????

I'd like to know . . .

btw - I did come home from a long run with one less sock once . . . 

I believe that's spelled S-A-N-I-T-Y .

Ha!  That's a Freudian slip if I ever heard one

This is why I love triathlon.  What other sport has to have an official rule for public nudity??  Brilliant.

Just pee on the bike.  I think almost everyone here has already done it at some point in time.  Or, if not, they're missing out.  Why waste the extra minutes stopping?

I think he's calling you senile.

Gee, you think so, Captain Obvious?

See, and I had  deleted the "Old man" comment I had added. 

Blame it on the 80's. Men (and a few women) would get out of the swim in speedos, and strip to change into cycling clothes. T1 was an....interesting... place.

If you do it right, surprisingly, you're not. It seems harder for girls than guys, though. A good downhill followed by a well-aimed water bottle can do wonders.

Gotta go really fast, have good down and out aim, and it's not a problem

Make sure no one's coming up behind you 1st!  That would be worse than getting hit by a snot rocket.

 Oh my.  My bad Bear.  Really.  I meant nothing.  Freudian it was . . . But untrue!

Variable time penalty?  Perhaps this may have to do with hotness of said nudist?  I'd get 5 minutes, but J-Lo or Matthew McConaughey at the Malibu Triathlon might get a free pass?     I could see the offical now..."Um, Mrs. Lopez, that was wrong and illegal, but please have a nice day...I know I did."

Heh, that would be good! what they mean though is first offense is usually 2 minutes, 2nd is 4mins, next one is DQ. Depending on how many times you wave it around... :D

THANK GAWD!!!

Bingo.  I'm not sure how you guys pee but I think "covered" might be a bit of an over-statement... ?  So you get a little pee on your leg.  The 1-2 minutes it takes you to stop could yank away your AG place.  Why risk it?  Just hose down after if you must.  Triathlon is no place for being squeamish : D 

Oh my.  I joined this site just to reply to this thread.  You are internet famous for this now as it has spread to other cycling forums. 

So....Master Yoda......What were you thinking and exactly when did you realize this was a failure?  Immediately after?  During?  10 miles down the road?  Oh where has our common sense gone???

1st rule.....never poop yourself.  EVER. NEVER. EVER.
2nd rule.......when you do, never tell anyone.  Especially the whole world.


Seriously, if you have bathroom problems as you say.....carry some baby wipes with you in a ziploc bag so you can get yourself clean afterwards especially during a long ride.  You don't want this stuff hanging around.  And by "afterwards" I mean after you've found a spot off the road to go.  If you're concerned about the group or friends having to wait, wear shorts instead of bibs so you don't have to take your top off.  Actually, don't be concerned about the friends since if they truly are, they'll be understanding.
