Tan Lines

Sharing is caring!

While watching the 2022 World Champs, I noticed multiple athletes racing in shorts other than their usual training apparel.

For those of us that train in booty shorts and then run races in bunhuggers, don’t you hate those tan lines?

Having used compression shorts for the past year, I now have three colored legs, my natural light color, faded color from compression shorts blockage, and lower legs that have darkened for the past 30 years. Now when I run in 3/4 notch shorts, I have light thighs and that tan line. And two tan lines when going full brohugger. Then, I’m back to my natural color under my running socks.

Fortunately, I still need to run races and long runs in compression shorts. I miss those summer runs in 75-degree dew points that saturate my shorts until I deploy the brohugger look.

Time to use SPF 50 and avoid skin cancer.
