On a more light hearted note

Even though I have reached an age where bladder problems should be creeping in, I have never done it. However I do have a salutary tale. I used to be a long distance truck driver in the days when we wore overalls and tractor units carried spare wheels horizontal  under the side of the chassis. When nature called  It was practice for some drivers to take down their overalls, sit on the spare wheel where the centre hole was conveniently situated and perform the necessary evacuation. One of my colleagues found himself forced to perform this operation. Upon completion he re adjusted his clothing, pulled his overalls up and climbed back into the cab.......only to be greeted by a dreadful smell....he had defecated into his overalls!

exactly, and its way worse for us wimmin to get everything peeled off ready to go...but only if I'm on a big lake or the sea and not within easy access to the loos...

besides, I am constantly falling out of the c boat, so plenty of rinsing goes on.

In Canada last year in between races, an hour at least from shore, I looked around and all I could see was mooning men ....then I fellout of my boat....

As a child I was shown a wetsuit that someone else had peed into....the resulting stain was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow for good.

Are the people who pee in their wetsuits the same ones who take their wetsuits off in the shower ?

I always wondered why they did that.

I try to avoid doing it (it does knack the glues and the neoprene a bit), but sometimes, well, it just can't be helped can it? Middle of a long race, you're getting soaked anyway....
