I'm calling bull$h1t on the times. There's just NO collegiate runners that would EVER advocate wearing shorts over tights and I don't think you are one of the few H.S.ers running faster than the "standards." Sorry, I still think it was that one line that really killed you.
I'd tend to agree that not liking tights doesn't necessarily make you gay... but it really is a little bizarre that you are so concerned by it.
Do you get into a tizzy if you see a guy wearing a sweatshirt that doesn't match his jeans as well?
i ran those times in college a few years ago.
i never run with 1/2 tights under shorts--only said that it's acceptable if 1) someone is too cold or 2) they have an injury. then IF you decide you MUST wear half tights, i propose you must wear something over them. otherwise go with full tights, or running shorts.
i never said anything about sprinters wearing half tights or whatever those 1 piece suits are. that's their thing. nor did i say anything about full length tights (till just now). those are totally appropriate when it's cold.
you can make all the excuses you want, but the fact is, deep down we all know half tights look stupid as hell on a skinny little distance runner.
this is nothing like a mis-matched sweatshirt. it is more like a thick sweatshirt tucked into the jeans kind of thing--totally unacceptable.
