I’ve had tan lines my whole life. I’ve never been terribly conscious about my looks, I’m not a huge fan of the beach, and I’ve spent a lot of time working (and playing) outside. The result is that I’ve spent most of my summers sporting a pretty normal farmer’s tan, and the last few years looking a bit like a raccoon from my running sunglasses. But this is a new one for me, the cyclist’s tan. My road bike gloves (which I’ve found out are essential for wiping one’s nose) cover the backs of my hands, leaving me looking like a mime or something.
Maybe it’ll even out as I do more running over the summer, but I kinda doubt it.
Still not as embarrassing as wearing lycra in public!
