Pee on the bike? Seriously? (Page 3)

Yep. Penguin wash works too, or a vinegar/mild detergent solution ... I've heard good things about OxyClean or similar, but never tried it.

Some people do this for the sheer fun of it. Everyone's goals are equally as valid.

'tis true. I pee on myself for fun.

Confucius says: It is better to be pissed off than pissed on.

I've done it twice - once during HIM training to assure myself that I could do it in a race if I needed to, and once during the race.

My training session pee taught me that my road cycling shoes DO NOT DRAIN. I used this knowledge carefully in my HIM.

At IMCdA I was going down a hill behind and to the side of a guy.  I start to see this liquid coming from his bike and thought he spilled some water from a bottle.  Then I realize he's peeing.  He never looked back to see who might be behind him.

Now we are NOWHERE NEAR qualifying (he's in my AG).  I was far enough to the side to not get hit but if I did I would have added "kicking someone's " as the 4th discipline.

I don't care if you pee on yourself during a race.  But pee on me and you had sure as hell be faster than me...

That made me giggle.

What if the offender is a chick?  That story had me so grossed out, I easily recalled it from 7 years ago.

It depends, how long have we been dating

Did you try the wash machine?

Wash bike shoes in dishwasher to remove smell take insoles out open them facing down, wash them with dishwashing soap, and remove them prior to dry cycle. Put newspaper in shoes to absorb water. If you have a shoe/boot drier use that if not put in the sun to dry.

Running shoes I wash without insoles and again use newspaper and boot drier.

Those of you new to tris the concept seems odd. Doing a sprint or oly for most they can urinate on the swim and be fine rest of the race. Longer races it becomes an issue. Porta Pottys are not always available when you need to use one.

It takes practice.....many need to stop to urinate while swimming; down hill coasting on the bike is easiest and yes check behind you for other athletes and remove your water bottle,  rinse with water bottle; run go before aid station and splash/dump water on your crotch as you go through the aid station.

If you have to go and are trying to hold it, can negatively effect your race. Urine is sterile when it comes out of your body.
