I ran a half yesterday and watched a guy grab a cup from a water station, and dip a 'U' shaped tube into the cup and it drew out some fluid. (then he drank from the tube) I'm guessing this was a homemade contraption that used some principle of physics to pull in the fluid (I slept thru physics). Any idea what he was using?
bent straw?
Was this at the Hershey Half? If so, that was me.
It's Swedish, and it's called a u-formade röret.
You use it to put flarmon in your klaffagnoogle.

Good luck with that!
This is NOT a bad idea at all... Even a simple straw, the wider ones like the Starbucks' for shakes, cut shorter might be helpful to drink easily during hard marathon efforts;) I may check it out...
Didn't Virgin pimp a drinking straw for running?
Yep. I ran next to you for the last two miles. what were you drinking from?

I actually tried practicing drinking with a cut-down drinking straw before my first marathon. The initial result was good - I was getting lots of water from the cup. Then on the next attempt, the straw had disappeared. It turned out to be too light to stay in my shorts pocket, so I decided that pulling out a straw was too complicated to pull off successfully 10-12 times in a marathon and went with the traditional pinch-sip method.
