Hai guyz,
SO HERE'S THE SCOOP:
I'm running in my first half-marathon tomorrow, AND I'M [glow=red,2,300]fucking[/glow] CRAVING FRENCH FRIES from my local Burger King, yo.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A) Get the fries and potentially defecate myself mid-race tomorrow
B) DIE from lack of french fry exposure
Serious question, guys. I need to know.
PS: They have icee's at Burger King.. Coke flavored. baddood;
Don't get them. Let them be your motivation during the race.

Sounds like you have plenty of time for your body to process the fries.
Yeah, and if your body knows its stuff you'll dump right beforehand.
FLIP A COIN
Just eat the fries but skip the drank. Drink water.
But man, the Icee is like a giant fucking otter pop. You gotta understand, right?

lol you don't know how digestion works.

Digestion is a lower priority than running, if your body is properly trained. If you are properly trained, your body will anticipate a race and shut down your digestive system, decreasing blood flow to the system by up to 80%, allowing for better oxygenation of your active muscles. Right before it shuts it down, your body will empty anything and everything it possibly can from your digestive system. If you are not taking a shit within 45 mins of the start of your race, you're doing it wrong.

goonish
Digestion will take place a notable amount of time before running. Runners do eat quite a bit of carbohydrates a day before a running event. This is known as "carbo loading". However, fries aren't carbohydrates. They're starch, fried in saturated fat, so he should drink water with what I assume is a comparatively low amount of food, to dilute whatever fat and salt is there, and to make use of the starches (and the resulting glucose).
Again, it shouldn't take much effort to digest such a small meal, and by the time the marathon begins, it would have been completely digested for a few hours before.

Wait, what is your point even? All I'm saying is that, pretty much regardless of what he eats, he doesn't need to worry about having to shit during the race. That's all I ever said.
