Too Much Spandex in XC Races

Haha, it's true. I only pray for the day that we can wear speedsuits with gold chains.

well i wear spandex shorts under my race shorts to keep muscles warm and loose. i also wear a silver chain I always wear for goodluck. its been passed down from my grandpa

Any one still wear a jock or have in built-in liners taken over the ball control aspect of the sport?

Runners are the first to make fun of cyclists...but end up sporting the same garb to look like Goucher.

Oh, Not a Sprinter, you look so sexy in spandex; yum yum.

i am a collegiate xc and middle distance runner and i love my spandex; its bad ass

i wear splits on occasion but spandex is where it's at

i havent seen spandex, but i have seen lots of half tights and they are HOT on male runners.

Spandex shorts are now worn by cyclists, runners, swimmers, volleyball players, sailors, dancers and god knows what other athletes. If you haven't noticed, all of humanity will soon be dressed alike in spandex bodysuits just like in those futuristic movies.

i think forcing everyone to wear spandex would do wonders for improving the health and fitness of the general public.

think about it, if you were 300 lb., would you want to flaunt it in spandex? no.

there would also be alot more sex if everyone wore spandex.

Looking at pictures of the NCAA races from this year more and more guys are wearing spandex.

I remember when the only guys who would think about wearing spandex would be those running 400m and under.

I'm just worried that pretty soon we're going to be seeing the top XC runners doing 10k in body suits with a gold chain in their mouth the whole time.

Discuss.

You forgot the various body decorations and ungroomed hair that inhibit the speed at which a runner runs, or inversely fatigues them at a more rapid pace.

I for one find those particular individuals interesting- they claim to be the best, yet slow themselves in such a manner allowing short john to win the race.

why? It was my belief that chicks dig winners?

Obviously you've never been to an amusement park in the summer.

I ran at NCAAs and have started to prefer racing in spandex. It increases circulation and keeps the body warmer on colder days.

I love men in spandex. I think all hot men should be required to wear it at all times.
