Woman Poops Halfway Through The Marathon And Ran With To Set The Personal Best Record

California mom is hailed a hero by the internet after she achieves her personal record and succeeds in running through the finish line even though she pooped midway during the marathon. Tamara ended up beating her own personal best by one minute and 20 seconds: which was quite a victory, considering she was only 13 months postpartum.

How far one is willing to go to achieve their goal? One would think of all sorts of passionate responses but we bet you haven’t come across a woman like Tamara Torlakson as she decided to achieve her personal best record and ran to cross the finish line even though she pooped herself mid-marathon-nevertheless she never gave up.

Back in 2018, at the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon that begins in Ojai, California and ends on the Ventura Coast, Tamara realized that if she takes a break mid marathon for a washroom break, she would be ruining her progress.

“Training was going really well, I knew I was in really good shape,” she said.

So, Tamara knew she has to keep running even if it means that she poops midway.

Talking about her extraordinary action, Tamara said: “I thought, ‘I don’t know if it’s possible to poop while running, but I will try.”

“I didn’t want one poop to mess it all up.”

With this thought and dedication, she managed to poop midway and also managed to keep it there in her shorts for 13 more miles until she set her own personal best record, with a 3 hour and 7-minute marathon.

Then after achieving her goal and crossing the finish line, she took baby wipes from the medical tent and went to get cleaned up in a nearby porta-potty.

Tamara basically ended up beating her own personal best record by one minute and 20 seconds: which was quite a feat, considering she was only 13 months postpartum.
