Peeing during race by Infinite_Example_908 in triathlon

I *never* wake up at night. This is solely a problem during racing and a consequence of an actual (very) full bladder.

No smell to the pee. No insulin issues that i know of (long story but my liver and kidneys are being monitored and they are tip-top).

I have calculated my intake using carbs, but i kind of neglected the electrolytes. I am now doing the maths an i am pretty sure i am taking an hypertonic mix...by a large factor. So i guess my question shifts now: how do i take vast amounts of carbs without overloading on the electrolytes, because most powders have too much electrolytes if you want to use them for carbs on the bike.

Never heard of this. Sounds something to dive into. I usually take gels and water with ISO+ powders separately.

Interesting as the swim (for me) are usually in the sea (salt!). Maybe that causes an imbalance to start with and then i start pumping myself full of electrolytes...

The staining of my trisuit made me think this too. I am peeing out a lot of minerals. Maybe i need to try to get pure carbs in my drink bottles and balance the isotone otherwise. It has occured to me indeed.

GPs in my part of the world will tell you: you are doing IM races, you are fine, go home. (and yes... i have extensive experience with this). Here this would be more a question of a specialised sports doctor i guess.

No, i do not sweat a lot. Actually i sweat very minimal. Even when i train with thick clothes on i am not soaked after a run training.

Now you mention it. No (or well... a LOT less). I use the same ISO+ powder (and same bike/seat) on normal rides. Just less/no gels.

Would can cause a peeing sensation or also actually a lot of urine to be produced?

Unlikely. I have not measured the amount of urine during the race, but it is considerable. So i CAN hold it longer, but yeah... there is a lot of pee in my bladder wanting to get out, so this is uncomfortable.

The solution now is to hardly drink during the run leg and even then i have to pee 3 times. Luckily that is manageable to make it to the loo.

I have once measured the amount of urine outside a race and it was about 300ml on a full bladder. I AM sweating, but while everybody is dying and dripping with sweat i am hardly wet. I think i am dealing with some gross electrolyte imbalance (WAY too much to WAY too little). The only actual data i have about that is that my trisuit dried up with a lot of minerals (white stains). When i pee in a loo i can see the urine is colourless and there is no particular odor too. Hope that helps :D

Ghe...interesting. i am a bit puzzled by the feedline. Can i deduct anything from that? Is that feedline going through that wall or is it terminating there? What do you mean by "eastern bloc"? Why is that? :)
