Everybody poops...even athletes.

I always wondered what athletes do in this situation. I figured players in team sports could run to the locker room to do their business but it doesn't sound like that's always the case as evidenced by the Seahawks player mentioned at the end of the article. As for those participating in individual sports like marathons or race car drivers, yikes...

AFTER RACING NEARLY 140 miles, first through the ocean, then across the blackened lava fields of Kona, Hawaii, Julie Moss crested the final hill of the 1982 Ironman Triathlon alone in front, hovering near delirium. She was also about 45 seconds from becoming, as she remembers it, "the ultimate, giant, chocolate mess."

This could be the single strangest article I've read on ESPN.com but it does bring up interesting points about how athletes are idolized into perfect beings and the deuce is the great equalizer. And yes, I say that in all seriousness and not as a joke.

Marathon runners often shit themselves. A nasty side effect of those long runs.

My wife ran distance in college and will do the occasional half marathon. I drove her and a couple friends to one a few years back. Her and one friend were in top shape and ran a strong race, the other one was overweight and slacked off on training.

The tubby one spent the entire ride home farting her brains out, and I mean your prelude to a poopy type of fart, not just the garden variety toot. I had to stop 3 times so she could shit on the way back.

I was hiking a few months back and suddenly had to poo real bad. It was fairly busy park, so it took some time to find a quiet place to squeeze off a batch, but I finally did. The consistency was thick yet mucky, and was the color was a sickly pale brown.

Fortunately, as I wandered off to a nearby pond to wash my hands, my dogs ate the evidence.
 
Cyclists often piss/shit on the side of the road in races like the Tour de France, they even piss while on the bike if necessary when the race situation doesn't allow stopping (like when they are in a break-away or so). The cameramen try to avoid showing that stuff, but sometimes you can see it anyway if you watch closely.
 
Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much. These people take their body to the extreme limits of human accomplishments: stuff like that is bound to happen. I don't really wanna see it live on tv, but I can live with it.
 
What I really wanna see is someone shit his brains out during the Nathan's 4th of July hot dog fest. It would be so riveting, definitely must see TV right there. Nothing like a processed pork dump to drive up ratings.

I have seen it before when bikers or runners stick their cock out of their shorts and just let it out. Makes for fun TV! :lol:
