    I've since developed a quick "hand squeegee" technique - exactly as it sounds. Then rinse the hand off with a squirt of the water bottle.

    Yep, that was Grete Waitz (though, I think it was the NYC Marathon).

    ETA: More googling shows that Grete isn't alone. Apparently someone also went poopy during Chicago, and probably countless other events like this.
