American triathlete Seth Rider revealed he has an unconventional tactic for preparing for the Seine's E. coli levels.
"We actually raced here last year in the test event," he said. "I don't think anyone got sick after that, which can't be said about all the races we do. In preparation for this race, I knew there was going to be some E.coli exposure. So I've been trying to increase my E.coli threshold by exposing myself to a bit of E.coli in day-to-day life."
One of the ways Rider claimed he's been doing that is not washing his hands after he goes to the bathroom.
