Woman poopes her pants halfway through a marathon

[dalton]

The way she describes it, it's not so much an accident, but she decides to poop in her shorts to feel better and to run faster. And this is halfway the marathon. The story and images of this young woman is all over the internet. This appears to have happened at the 2018 Mountains 2 Beach Marathon. The woman, Tamara Torlakson, ran with number 582. I found 3 photo's of her during the race, but no poop is visible:

But at mile 13 or 14, she realized she needed to go to the bathroom. She didn't want to lose physical or mental momentum by stopping, nor did she want one pit stop to prompt her colon to request several.

"I thought, 'I don't know if it's possible to poop while running, but I will try,'" Torlakson said. "I didn't want one poop to mess it all up."

So, without stopping, she relieved herself into the built-in underwear in her shorts ("I had to focus," she said) and continued on her way. "It just came out and I felt a lot better," she said.

Torlakson doesn't think anyone noticed, and she said she "didn't give a shit" if they did. "Marathoners don't judge," she added.

She maintained a PR pace with soiled shorts for roughly 13 more miles. She kept her mind focused on maintaining her fast clip, not on what was in her shorts. When she neared the finish line, she yelled to her friends, "I pooped my pants!"

Torlakson quickly hit the medical tent for baby wipes and cleaned up in a Porta Potty.

Good story told from her first-person perspective. Good food for our male imaginations. Sad that none of the photos show a bulge in her shorts. Ah, well. And she was very matter-of-fact about it which is even cooler to read.
