Nice race.<br /><br />Peed in a public place ? I guess only a woman would ask that ;-)<br /><br />Europe has (had ?) public urinals (men only) right on the sidewalk in some cities. Bit of a weird feeling standing there peeing on the sidewalk (well, behind a bit of a barrier).<br /><br />Happy Easter.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25226414.post-21144323809999791052012-04-06T19:00:56.274-07:002012-04-06T19:00:56.274-07:00Being in the last wave did have the benefit of not...Being in the last wave did have the benefit of not being smushed with so many people. I wore capris, and I froze until mile 4. When I wanted to die. Because OMG TEN MILES IS SO FAR. <br /><br />Also. Aly and I laughed so hard about that thing on the rules page.

Yes, I have pee'd in public pre race before when the "smart" people only had about 15 port a potties for 5000 women. Really? Done it while hiking too when I had a 16oz mocha before the hike.

And that's hard for a lady to do. I can't even make myself go in the ocean - seriously. My body just won't let me. <br /><br />At the MSP marathon, you start downtown, run maybe a half mile and then hit this open road that will lead to the lakes. And inevitably, as soon as people get out of downtown and on this open road, the guys all urinate. It's quite a sight to see. I think there were probably 15-20 guys lined up, urinating, when I ran the marathon. Weird!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
