Potty Break

I didn't want to wait in the long lines to the Port-a-Potty's at Eagleman last year so I waded into the water right at the start, squatted down, and began to pee. Looking up at the people on the shore putting on their wetsuits, I noticed how incredibly thin and fit they all looked. Just as I realize that those people were the pros, race director Vigorito shouts at me through a bull horn,"Only pros are allowed in the water!" I was mid-stream and couldn't stop. My response was,"But I'm peeing!" I...3 points

I intentionally crapped my pants during a tri so I wouldn't lose my placing. I don't think anyone knew (I hope not!) but I embarrassed the hell out of myself. -submitted via SlowTwitch Forum2 points

Years ago at a Triathlon in Oklahoma I couldnt figure out why I was sweating so much on the bike coming out of T1.....sweat was just pouring over my face....then I reached up and realized my rubber swim cap was still on under my helmet....nothing to do but just to keep going until T2.... -submitted via SlowTwitch Forum2 points

After showering from a swim, I am back at my locker and the guy in the locker next to me asked me how my swim went. Without thinking, and while standing there naked, I responded "long and hard."
That area of the locker room went immediately into a stunned silence. It was a month before I went back. -submitted via SlowTwitch Forum1 point

I got some guy's foot stuck down the top of the 2-piece speedo during the swim start. I came really close to being kicked unconscious and having the top half of my suit rip apart. Thankfully, we got untangled eventually without any damage. -submitted via SlowTwitch Forum1 point

I've always hated those swim caps they give you to indicate your wave -- very thin and made for folks with huge heads (except the Boulder Peak caps; I like those:). Anyway, I was at my third or fourth tri and hadn't really caught on to the fact that there was a reason the caps were different colors. I decided to just use my own cap, thinking that there were all these different color caps around so who would care? Minutes before my wave goes off, one of the race volunteers approaches me looking k...1 point

My buddy awhile back maybe 10 years made the big mistake of racing I think it was a half ironman in a new race suit (speedo of course) well he was fine until about 4 miles into the run when the suit started chaffing his $%# (unit, johnson, you get the point) well by 10 miles it was really bad and was almost bleeding .. he was not going to quit though he ended up running that final mile with his hand down the front of his suit holding his package so it wouldnt rub anymore skin off !!

My most embarrassing moment was in a small local duathlon. This race was different in it only had a 4 mile run to start and then 20 miles on the bike, no second run to finish. I started with a great run and led into T1. After taking off on the bike I was riding scared the whole time. Manage to get back to the parking lot still holding the lead and am so pumped up to win my first ever event overall that I keep hammering to the line. That is where the excitement happens. They wanted everyone to di...1 point

Mine would be more of a dork moment: During my first "comeback" tri in 2006, I spent what seemed like a half hour trying to put on Injinji toe socks on my wet feet in T1. Nowadays, those socks stay at home on race day. They only get put on my feet for snowshoeing, or longer bikes and runs. -submitted via SlowTwitch Forum1 point
