Toby Tanser…. Man in Tights??? According to Toby s latest article in Metro Sports NY, he says to always wear tights when the mercury drops below 40 degrees to keep muscles warm and functioning. Is this the same Toby Tanser who races in shorts and a singlet, no matter what the weather? What happened to the Toby we all know and love??? Let s get one thing straight here: forty degrees is not cold. Just because it s winter doesn t mean that we have to pretend we are in Quebec City. Wearing tights in this weather is beyond overkill. Someone who wears tights when it s 35 degrees out deserves to be embarrassed and ridiculed by the running community. Of course, the next time someone sees me out there in form-fitting pants, I have a feeling I will never hear the end of it……
