Soiling one’s self in a race.

[Webbo2]

Following on from the athlete in the Hyrox event who had a misha.
As this happened to anyone one here.
I have a few near misses such as finishing the Otley triathlon I had rush and find a loo and missed out on getting my prize for first time and winning my age group.

In a club 10, my minute man pulled over to the side of the road just before the turn and scuttled into some trees.

After the finish I asked him what happened and he said he very urgently needed a number 2!

Running about with diarrhoea running down your leg seems pretty bonkers to me but runners are well known to be slightly peculiar.

I'd have thought shedding some weight in a race would be quite welcome! I'd be interested to hear how one would extract the "weight" from ones tight cycling shorts whilst going full gas though.

Personally I've never been caught short, not for a number two anyway, I'm as regular as clockwork on that front and won't even go out on the bike if "my time" is close. I'll wait till I've done the deed and then go out.
