Start a bowel journal during race weekends

Create a first record you can return to. Registration, event day, and travel may span a whole weekend with different start times.

What makes this useful

Start with a visit that actually happened, rather than trying to reconstruct an entire week.

Separate the preparation day from the event day and the trip home. A consistent label such as “race weekend” helps connect the day you remember with the visit you saved.

A practical way to begin

  1. Choose the closest shape, answer how the visit felt, then record duration and whether you felt finished.
  2. Add any optional note or visit-time correction before saving, then review the saved result.
  3. For race weekends, one recognizable detail is enough to start: “Day before the event, after collecting my number.” Add it only if it describes your visit.

An example of useful context

“Day before the event, after collecting my number.”

Are you comparing preparation days with event days as though they were the same routine?

Use your own wording and the details you remember. A short, recognizable note makes it easier to find the visit later.
