Use a 90-day bowel journal during race weekends

Keep recent history available for review. Registration, event day, and travel may span a whole weekend with different start times.

What makes this useful

Details become harder to remember as the interval between a visit and a review grows.

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. Open the 90-day view to see the available saved entries.
  2. Use search or custom dates to make that longer list manageable.
  3. Repeated occasions of race weekends can share a “race weekend” label. Combine that search with the dates of one occasion to avoid mixing unrelated visits from the available 90 days.

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.
