We're finally reaching the end of a long, hot, humid, summer. I see XC guys out running in 95 degree heat & 90 percent humidity while wearing some granddad's cut-off (below the knee) dress slacks. It's Absurdistan. It's like some kind of self-inflicted Islamic body-fear. I've got some 5-inch inseam shorts that are great in cool weather, which become dripping dishrags of sweat if I wear them in the Summer. Your socks and shoes fill up and squish and your feet wind up pasty and wrinkled. I can't imagine choosing to repeat the experience day-in and day-out. Oversize "shorts" are the male equivalent of 18-hour girdles and whale-bone corsets.They're flat out stupid and they express a fear of being observed. I'm gonna manufacture & market a line of Cool-Max burqas for timid endurance athletes.
So, are you running in a string bikini? If not, you're a hypocrite
