Ugh. I sort of suspected this might happen, and now it has. I'm racing at 6.30 tomorrow morning and the course will take me a couple of hours.

Day one today; light
Day two tomorrow; biblical flooding.

The course is in and out of water. I don't know if i can race wearing my mooncup. But a pad could get waterlogged...

... thousands of people...

... portaloos...

Bugger bugger bugger.

Mooncup and black leggings in case.

I'd use the mooncup - I've heard a lot of the triathlon pros use them as they don't absorb the water.

Is it an OCR event you're doing?

I'd go with the mooncup. Even if it leaks a little, it should stem the flow enough for you to get through 2 hours. Then take a change of clothes and some pads to put on once your done.

I mooncupped. It was okay. Bit uncomfortable but it did the job.

And now I'm knackered!!
