ABC fumbled the reporting here. Shitting yourself during a race isn't uncommon, but apparently this isn't a race, it's a combination of crossfit-type exercises:
Yeah you shouldn't be smearing your shit all over the shared equipment.

Call me old fashioned, but I'd rather salvage some dignity.

The dignity is gone, but the glory is still there for the taking

Would you not move farther away from the dirty ground then anyways? And if you're moving away fast you might as well do it in a way that has a reward.
