14th August. Half Ironman Full Bladder?

I'm afraid it's impossible to complete the Aberfeldy Half Ironman without gagging on 'Gatorade' or some other electrolyte replacement sports drink.

A length of plastic tubing connected to a water bottle on the bike should enable a near constant supply of fluids.

I stopped short of performing an experimental self-catheterisation with another length of the same pipe.

Isabelle pointed out a female competitor relieving herself during an Olympic cycling event whilst in the saddle so to speak, this must be the accepted norm?

These bloggs are becoming less coherent as age and drink wreak their inevitable toll. Its heart warming to see that at least 121 persons from the middle east review this blogg (probably in utter bewilderment). Shame about the bike - but it was probably a warning. - your OCD topiary and aviation expert.

Re: the Middle East.
I feel it's important that we here in the west, freed from the guiding hand of strict religious authority, can show by example, that rather than descending into moral torpitude a rigorous self discipline be imposed.
