jda365: I didn't wrestle in high school and I don't know how to swim, but I ran varsity track for three years and in college. At my high school, the JV runners just wore like a tank top and running shorts in competition, but the varsity runners wore singlets, like wrestlers. Apparently my high school coach was a bit of a psychologist because, knowing how insecure teenage guys are, he had us wear a pair of running shorts over the singlets. But there was one meet during my senior year that he actually made me take off the shorts before my race. It was a really big meet held at UT-Austin every year called Texas Relays. The level of competition was very high, and unlike in our meets against the small schools in our conference, the extra running shorts actually could make a difference in your performance. I didn't mind running my race without them, but the problem came after the race, when we have to walk back out of the stadium along a walkway that goes directly in front of the grandstand. So, I'm walking back down the track in a skin tight suit in front of a crowd of about 25,000 people...then I started to get a bit nervous. But, later I thought about the race and how much more comfortable I felt running without the shorts on, so when I got to college, I kept running in a singlet and didn't give a damn who was looking by then.
