I have the honor of running in our team's 4x800  on Thursday and my stomach is already tying itself in big ol' knots! In light of this, I bring you something a lot of us distancers can relate to:

Nervous pee.

You know it, you love it (or not...); that wonderful, crampy feeling that always seems to hit right as you go to the line for a race. Personally, I think they need to put some kind of porta potty at the start line (like they did for XC State this last season). Plus, it'd be super funny to watch everybody fight over using it!

Another way to combat nervous pee: the 'Pee Squat', as my teammate Tilly calls it. She kind of just squats down in a weird position like she's going to take a dump until the officials get around to yelling at her about it. She always goes in the back of our box in XC because of it.

Even worse is the nervous poo, but I ain't gettin' inta that.
