Carrie | 10:33 UK time, Monday, 2 October 2006

Carrie
As you may be aware I was given a lot of stick this morning for an unfortunate toilet incident that happened during the Great North Run. Therefore with the team being so generous and all that - they decided to give me the right of reply by writing today's blog. Therefore while not denying that such an incident happened I will try and put my side of the story which may or may not convince you that I am a little less grubby than Chris, Dave and Dominic and indeed Rio Ferdinand tried to make out!

Well Dave, Rach, Mr Rach, Longman, my sister Nina and I all did the great north run yesterday. Even though we did it last year I was still just as nervous and anxious at my lack of preparation and lurgy. We were even interviewed on bbc one this time which was ace.. had the whole family watching only to be introduced by Sue Barker as Carrie Fisher!!! Still being able to pretend to be a hollywood actress is no bad thing..
So anyway back to the weeing thing.

Nerves can tend to get the better of you when faced with a big challenge like an exam or even running 13.1 miles - I'd already been to the loo about ten times before we even got to the start line. Felt ok when I started and my sister said she wanted us to run the whole thing without stopping even if we had to slow down to a really slow jog that was almost walking...

So got to about 5 miles and thought I really need the loo - there were loads of blokes going in the tunnels by the side the road which was pretty grim to be honest!!! People were dashing off left right and centre behind bushes and the like..but I was determined not to stop. I was living in the hope that the more I ran and the more I sweated the more dehydrated I would get and hence lose the need to to wee. Anyway it got to about 8 miles and I was having a bit of a low point. Still need to go but the feeling had gone away a bit so thought I would be ok - but as the muscles in my legs started to heart soooo much thought oh no!! Yes I admit a little bit of you know what escaped but not enough to start gushing down my leg or anything!!! I was in white shorts so there would have been evidence and certainly no yellow socks as Dave alluded to. Apparently it happens to a lot of top runners - it wasn't like a proper big one as demonstrated by Paula Radcliffe - nothing of the sort!! Not that this has happened to me but I've heard people say when they've laughed very hard a similar experience happens..Apparently it happens to a lot of top runners so I reckon I'm not that bothered.

To be honest am feeling to sore today to fight back!! Didn't manage to cross the line with my sister as had a bit of a moment at 10 miles and really had to have a breather but came in 2 hours dead thanks to Tim who picked me up when i was feeling totally rubbish!!! Well done to all anyway and its all for charity!!! Now going to sort myself out with a massage to aid my aching limbs!!! And no in reply to some of the texts I will not be putting the shorts or the socks on ebay.

Carrie

Carrie, you think that your mishap was embarrassing. You should have seen the two portly gents on the bank to the side of the pens at the start vaselining ther meat and two veg to stop chafing not knowing that their elevated position made them in full view of everyone. The shouts of "CHEEKY" soon made them aware!!!!
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!

Honestly Carrie, Chris and them boys are such BIG KIDS...remember giggling about wee n stuff when you were 5!!! You need to get more women on the show so they couldnt be such big childish bullies, just tell them to grow up! or change their nappies more often. All the same... you have to laugh..

Carrie - never fear! I ran teh GNR on Sunday as well but had a far worse wee experience. My friend and I were penned in in our start pen (miles behind you celebs at the front)when I heard a bit of a running water type noise. Turend to see a women squatting beside the fence having a propper, full on wee! A little stream of it running off down the road! Hope this makes you feel a bit better.

Congrats on the Great North Run. Great personal courage and conviction. It's a shame none of the team showed any of those qualities as Rio mouthed off this morning.
I felt really let down by you all.

Hi Carrie,

Just out of curiosity, you mentioned in your blog as well as on the show this morning that you were wearing white shorts so the alleged incident would have shown.

However, the photos from the GNR clearly show you wearing black leggings/trackies. Any reason for the inconsistency?

Well done Carrie i think everyone knows what the team is like for exagerating so chill babes. Like you said it happens to the top runners but hey half marathons are a good challege. Just next year wear yellow shorts lol (only joking hun).

Hoping to get in myself for the Great run next year will make a change from riding bikes 100 miles instead.


Anyway Keep up the good work ya the duchess of sport ;)

Carrie, don't worry about peeing yourself. I believe you, not Chris and Dave. If it was only a little bit don't worry. I've done exactly the same as you before.

Carrie you're a star!

About weeing whilst running, I ran x-country in school and a proper wizz during a race was not at all uncommon. Infact, it elevated you to "trooper" status, you took one for the team and these were merely 3 milers! After your golden shower, you should have been showered with praise! Well done you, dont let them give you a hard time :)
