How and when did she poop on this long trek? Did she go in her wet suit? Did she get in the boat every time when she had to do number 2? Is there a panel on the wet suit that opens in mid-swim? Curious minds want to know, people!
This excerpt from an NBCSports.com article explains some of the details of her near-30 day swim:
Figge woke most days around 7 a.m., eating pasta and baked potatoes while she and the crew assessed the weather. Her longest stint in the water was about eight hours, and her shortest was 21 minutes. Crew members would throw bottles of energy drinks as she swam; if the seas were too rough, divers would deliver them in person. At night she ate meat, fish and peanut butter, replenishing the estimated 8,000 calories she burned a day.
But I’m still curious about the pooping part, so if anyone knows how bowel functions are handled by these distance swimmers, pray tell! Comment at will!

Hilarious! For some reason I didn’t think of that. I wondered where and when she slept.
