What Not To Wear at a Race
* An underwire bra.
* Thongs – on your feet or…between your cheeks.
* The shirt from the race you’re running. (Past ones are tolerable.)
* New shoes.
* Patchouli perfume.(Though it can be used as an antidote for venomous snakebites.)
* Bunny ears.
* Shorts that move stealthily.
* Shorts that readily show sweat.
* Shorts that are too long or too short.
* A wee kilt. (This picture was taken at a local Paddy’s Day race.)
* Your favorite Hoodie. I like to see who I’m passing!
Have a great Monday!

"The shirt from the race you’re running."
Uh oh, have I committed a terrible race faux pas? Four times?
Not good for running mojo...

I second the underwire ban. I'd rather be smashed than poked.
I agree, I think it's bad luck to wear the race shirt on that day. I'd only do it in an emergency, as in, something really bad happens to my other shirt I've planned to wear, or I've forgotten to pack it!
And I agree with Anne about the underwire!
If you can believe it, there was a guy who ran the Maine Marathon in a kilt! Can we say "chafe?!"
Appropriately clothed would be a plus! Saw one guy running a marathon practically naked with his butt cheeks exposed. Kinda gross!
i've never felt good about wearing the current race shirt during that race...didn't think i was entitled until i'd finished.
on the shorts issue...too short is way worse than too long, eh?
just posted on dailymile that i wondered where you were. glad you're well. happy holidays!
In San Antonio we were passed by a rather portly fellow who was shirtless and wearing spandex bike shorts "plumber style". The crowd kept yelling "look at the plumber". Most of us maintained our pace, because we didn't want to keep up with him.
I bet Rachel "Speedo Man". He is a Marathon Maniac who runs all of his races in a Speedo.
Good list! I'd add: cotton, new clothing items, long dangling bling baubles.
