As for the poor soul who got DQ'd for urinating in public, wrong place wrong time it would appear. Prob about a third of the field were guilty of that at some point. Bad luck!
I wasn't hallucinating then....phew.
The "alternative lifestyle" brother in the 2-piece looked cool. And he was a very tall guy, so (addressing the members of the jury) this decision to DQ was blatantly "heightist" on the basis that the same kit would have been separated by less than 10cm on a shorter torso. The defence rests its case, M'Lud.
There's urinating in public.... and urinating in public. Degrees of indecency.
yep. I'm sure that most people who did go in public did so behind a hedge or undergrowth of some sort so at least tried to not be seen.
I've DQ'd someone for peeing - rather than walk 20m to the toilets outside the transition area, they peed up against the fence of the site owners - one of whom saw him doing so and reported the matter. there was no other option.
I've caught a few guys peeing in transition - I usually give a strong verbal warning and delay them going out onto the bike or run. that's enough to usually stop them doing it again. getting them to stop mid-flow is usually interesting as well - it can hurt.
I don't think many people would argue with FB if he told them to put their little chap away.
Talking of rules, I still like the fact that Jodie Swallow once had to change her kit as her breasts made the sponsors logo to big.
Didn't know that - that's class.
there's also a rear photo shot of Ms Swallow and the middle part of her name is aptly disappearing into the crack of her arse!!
I caught him up when he was in deep discussion with the motorcycle referee. Staying too far back to draft, I didn't catch anything of the conversation but put 2 and 2 together when I saw the DQ. I was annoyed because I couldn't safely overtake and they were there for 2-3 minutes. Last thing I wanted was pinging for drafting the referee, but not a lot I could do in the circumstances!
I saw countless blokes stopped for a pee at the side of the road ... cant really have been neccessary when there are loos at every aid station?
..because we can
I got a certain coach with my water bottle when i caught him having a pee at 105 miles.............................

Is it wrong of me to shake my head in dissapointment when I see that competitor number 533 was DQ'd for Dangerous Cycling; and then note he's a member of Gloucester Police Tri Club?
Hi, I know this is the Outlaw thread but any pirates going to Ironman UK on Sunday. Just had a sudden desire to pop up there (not too far ) to get a feel for an Ironman and support anyone competing?
Rio there are a few playing this weekend if you look at the this thread will give you an idea. http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/triathlon/uk-ironman-anyone/187498.html
A lot of the folks will already be in the zone and there so you might not get a big responce on here. I'd go and see what you can see.
Cheers Rio I'll be sporting pirate gear on Sunday No 1455 and look forward to seeing you.
The atmosphere is great I'm sure you will have a great day.
Finally got round to doing my race report.
