I've ahd this question for a long time and now I se it being address for runners at least, in the NYT
www.nytimes.com/.../new-york-city-marathon-a-restroom-plan-can-relieve-some-worry.html
I've been lucky that I've always been able to finish the 2.25 mile "race" I do without it being an issue. One year I was in the porta potty for the official start. Another year, I found a bathroom immediately after coming out of the water. I swam kinda fast that last quarter mile or so, too!
I prep at bit before hand - I usually eat high fiber cereal and fruit for breakfast, but on the race day, low fiber cereal and maybe a banana for fruit.
Still I'm a bit concerned on how to handle the inevitable.
Do you just drop your drawers and not worry that there are people swimming after you in the race? Ewww! Would I explain to my kayaker what I was doing? Some kind of plastic cleanup bag?
Nothing seems like good solution.
I imagine that in a marathon, it's more likely than not I would need to deal with this.
Easy Peasy!! No one, not even your kayaker knows what you're doing in the murky water so just do whatever your conscious allows you to do. End of story.
