Got a 70.3 in 6 months, I can't go 6 hours without a pee haha, I'm thinking if I need to I'll just pull up on the bike and take a leak. What have you done in the past?

Hahaha that's a good read, I don't know if I could pee whilst riding, but I guess it is sought of accepted. Think I might just pull up if needed, an extra 2 minutes on the clock is ok in my book haha

Classic. Epic. Bless you for the resurrection

Jimmy, yup, some folks just pee on the bike (and the run!); others make pitstops. Many races have rules about peeing other than at port-a-potties or race facilities, though, so check on your 70.3's specific regulations.

I've always just let it flow ... apparently this is really poor form on a trainer, though.

Have a blast half-ironing it!

I would stop when needed. If I'm not gonna be 1st I'm not peeing on myself. Not sure I could handle the smell/feeling for a run. I even stopped to pee in a sprint on the run portion. When you gotta go, you gotta go

I had to go during a half marathon once.  There weren't any port-a-johns handy, so I ducked into a Starbucks. 

Going during the swim is one thing (which I've done numerous times), but don't think I could handle going on myself on the bike or run.

In my last 70.3 I stopped twice to pee. My time wasn't important enough to me to pee my pants, though for my full distance in August I won't stop for anything.

One piece of advice I'll provide is that if you're gonna let 'r rip on the bike, do be courteous and check your blind spots. I was passed on a downhill at IMCDA by one fellow with his rear end high and proud, misting me with the golden shower. There should be a special penalty card for that. In Switzerland I emptied my tank on the bike and maybe it's not a common thing over there, I don't know, but plenty of people that passed me said in thick Swiss German accents "I sink your vawter bottle is leaking!"

I did a few HIMs and I was surprised that I was able to finished them without stopping (during training I always needed a pee stop, at least, between bike and run when doing bricks).

However, going without peeing wasn't an option. I was feeling strong on the bike and I didn't want to stop, so I decided to pee on myself. I was able to do it and weirdly proud of myself for doing it the first time during a race... Luckily, I finished 1 mile before the next aid station, where I grab a bottle of water and pour it all over my junk and legs.

This is why you should always have one bottle with water in it, a little squirt afterwards takes away that smell.

If your planning on drinking out of your bottle on the downtube, you might want to hold that in your hand while taking care of business. (just in case

Chrissie Wellington pees on the bike, in her book she mentions something about someone drafting behind her which made that moment the most appropriate

Reminds me of the IMFL poop guy that ran in his own mess for a KQ. By whatever means necessary.
