There's nothing worst than seeing some exposed cheeks of a ladies/males arse on a Sunday morning run! Let alone you get a death of a cold. I know some people think I'm only jealous, though I'd like to mine under wraps. Any bit of wind just rises those teeny tiny shorts! Good to keep it in mind... |
| Gordon Place | Jan 20 2020, 10:08pm | The lady doth protest too much, methinks |
| Paul Kelly | Jan 20 2020, 10:16pm | This is a bit of running 'S'attire isnt it?? Cos it made me chuckle a little bit |
| Graham K. Bushe | Jan 20 2020, 10:34pm | There's really only one solution to that.... pass them out. That way you can put it all behind you ;) |
| Pádraig Doyle | Jan 20 2020, 11:10pm | I have to say, as a mainly Leinster runner, that I agree that sometimes there is too much on show. For me, it's lycra clad buttocks that put me off my rhythm. I thought it was just the Leinster league that was too overtly sexy but it seems Munster is also too sexy. Can this please be discussed at the upcoming committee meeting? |
| Conor Nolan | Jan 20 2020, 11:20pm | Thanks Pádraig, now I can't get this out of my head - https://youtu.be/P5mtclwloEQ |
| Lorcan Farrell | Jan 20 2020, 11:27pm | Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all....nothing at all........nothing at all........Stupid Sexy Páidrig! |
| Margaret Desmond | Jan 20 2020, 11:33pm | I was only half-joking! I suppose it be different to flat runs where there would be no problem. Just hard to keep the momentum up those hills in these situations! I just need to get faster as someone mentioned earlier haha :) |
| Stuart Scott | Jan 21 2020, 12:18am | I have it on good authority that in Scotland, when the temperature rises above a formidable 2 degrees Celsius, a policy of "taps aff" is decreed. If there's anything more likely to strike fear and loathing into one's competition I don't know. |
| Gordon Place | Jan 21 2020, 7:51am | Paul Mahon must have spent some time there! I note the only mandatory rule with regard to attire is that you 'carry a jacket' so count yourselves lucky with the short shorts. Although I don't where else you'd stick your whistle in the odd race it is required |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 21 2020, 8:28am | Couldn't really care less how short or otherwise the shorts are. But it'd be nice if the running attire were left for the running and not worn into the pub after the race. |
| Alan Ayling | Jan 21 2020, 8:30am | As for "taps aff", where is one dupposed to pin one's race number? |

| Stuart Scott | Jan 21 2020, 8:14pm | Padraig and Lorcan, since your messages I can't get this clip out of my head. I hope you're happy with yourselves! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaeRM7X_yS4 |
| Peter Bell | Jan 22 2020, 1:43pm | Finally someone has brought this up, I completely agree with Margaret on the shorts. It has to stop. I for one have suffered from the sight of family members short shorts. I dont know is it dirty tactics or what. Also its bound to have an effect on the wildlife in the area. |
| Richard Church | Jan 22 2020, 3:35pm | Prescribing the length of shorts for races could be the thin end of a wedge... :-) Its not Wimbledon out there. |
