Woman Ran A Marathon Despite Going To The Bathroom In Her Shorts
Yes, you read that right. According to INSIDER.com, Tamara Torlakson was determined to beat her own record.
The Mountains 2 Beach Marathon which goes from Ojai, California to Ventura near L.A.,was Torlakson’s first race post-partum.
Despite being out of practice since giving birth, she was set on getting back in the game.
Torlakson heads up a women’s running group called Arete. She has been running competitively for 20 years, since freshman year of high school.
You can often find her running with her favorite co-pilots, her two kids in the running stroller!
Her last 26.2 mile venture in 2018, was a little more challenging.
Torlakson had a baby and she was training to get back into marathon running. At about mile 13 or 14 of the race, she felt something happening in her body.
She didn’t want to lose any time by stopping for a bathroom so she did what any determined person with a goal would do.
You guessed it, she did the duty in her shorts.
“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,” according to the Insider.
She says it was all worth it to run a three-hour, seven-minute marathon — her fastest by about one minute, 20 seconds — 13 months postpartum.
Way to go? We guess so.
