It took me ages to be able to wee in my wetsuit.
Thinking about it I only managed it after having kids once my pelvic floor was shot to pieces :-D

I can pee in my wetsuit, *but* I need to slow down and think about it lol
If you need to pee on the bike, just stop and do it, no-ones cares, and it'll cost you a minute. I have only once peed *on* my bike, and thats when it was raining so much I was cold soaked through already, it warmed me up nicely.
Worst IM 70.3 was Mallorca, where i left my flapjacks behind in my hotel room, and due to the long nature if transition and its one way system, couldn't get back in time to fetch them. Had to rely on extra fluids and bananas from the aid stations, and got to T2 feeling decidedly sick. Have never walked so much on the 'run' in all my life. Flat coke got me up and running again, but it was brutal.
Practice with the High5 you'll get on the course, and put your gels into a bottle if they're runny enough, then you don't have to arse about trying to open them on the bike. We will have High5, gels (caffeine and non-caffeinated), bananas, water and i think the High5 zero calorie electrolyte stuff ??? I think they have plenty of solid stuff on the run course.
