I drove a neutral support vehicle with a race official around for the Women Pro, 1, 2 race today. It was a good experience driving with an official for a race, different perspective on the race. She was very wrapped up about riders crossing the yellow lines and wanted to take down every # that crossed the yellow for even a second.
The yellow lines that will stay in my mind where not painted on the road though. About half way through the second lap a rider dropped back from the pack and took a very weird position on her bike. She was leaned way off her saddle with her knees bent, hind end back. Just as I started wondering what she was doing I saw the stream of pee coming through her shorts. As soon as she was finished she sat back down and stepped up her cadence, disappearing back into the peloton.
I am a reasonably competitive person but I have never wanted to win a race that bad.
The race official didn't have a sense of humor but I think it would have been appropriate to write down the offenders number for her yellow line violation.
