i'm already bugging out about wearing my good running shoes through their mud pit, but i dont have anything else and dont want to chance an injury in old shoes.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
What I have found to chafe the least is the skirts with briefs/bumhugger underneath, then Body Gliding the "contact" areas. Skin on skin chafes far less than fabric being rubbed-around between the thighs, which is what I got with shorts. The skirts with liner shorts always ride-up, anyhow--at least on me. I also have a pair of Pearl Izumi compression shorts that have leg grippers like cycling shorts, but without the chamois. I am really liking these, too. They have a 6" inseam. I may end up wearing these for a marathon, since Body Glide seems to become ineffective for me after about 13 miles or so, so I'm not sure I can do the skirt for a longer race. If all else fails I'll wear some knee-length tights. Gah, I hate my inner thighs. Even when I am a size 2 I have issues with the rubbing. I had to wear compression shorts under running shorts in HS--pre-skirt days.
