Passing gas while getting passed.

Is this frowned upon?

Re: Passing gas while getting passed.
Not in any of the races I've done! I've been victim of "crop-dusting" in both a HM and a run of a HIM. In both situations this gave me enough incentive to pass....

In the case of the HIM, the crop duster in question made passing him quite easy as he promptly veered off the race course and went into the bushes, never even breaking stride!!! Quite impressive.

I'll take your **** or body odor over the aromas of perfume, cologne, baking/cooking/grilling, or car/bus/truck exhaust any day. I've been (accidentally) spit on while passing. I don't mind the gas.

Ugg- have you ever been in the pool when someone with perfume gets in? OMG- it's like the entire pool turns into a bottle of perfume. Gag me....

Just make sure that you get through the "Snot Rocket Zone" (3 bike lengths between you & rider in front) within 15 seconds or risk of penalty for remaining in the zone.

HAHAHA!

Ya I don't understand why you'd wear perfume in a pool, but people who regularly wear perfume have probably become desensitized to the scent....

What the heck is an elderberry?

So if you **** while swimming and it bubbles in your shorts, is that considered a floatation device?

Ask neil. Monty Python reference only the British understand!

******* in your wetsuit I thought was standard operating procedure. Maybe that's why I'm so much faster

And I think it's only rude if you pass someone THEN release the gas bomb. It's just not nice!
