I've traveled and managed to meet someone also traveling from my area in the portapotty line! Sociailizing is part of the race day experience.<br /><br />Good write-up. As a race director, I go with the 1:75 ratio most of the time. Realize that for a 4000 person half marathon, it's not unusual to have about 100 portapotties between those at the start/finish/race site and throughout the course. Yowza - that's a lot of portapotties!Libby Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15909833677711055107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698410435456343425.post-88686456316175380292009-12-30T07:57:48.755-08:002009-12-30T07:57:48.755-08:00Nice!

Is it okay for the occupant of a porta potty to wave his/her hand out the door in search of toilet paper? Ethically, should we help that person out? So many burning questions...loved your post! I just read a post about the various layouts of porta potties at different races, I never really thought it mattered but now...I do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129091073767399081noreply@blogger.com
