Horse puckey on you BT... look what you've done!! Here I am losing weight and getting into pretty great shape, but were I to grace the pool or the beach any time soon, the most noticeable thing about me would be my WHITE feet! I've got a decent fade going on on the arms and legs from the various length tops and bottoms, but that sock line (yes, I must wear socks) is a train wreck that's hard to miss!

Nonetheless, I've clearly got a farmers tan on the arms and legs, and I know it's only going to get worse at the summer progresses. Note to self, get out earlier in the AM and later in the PM.

I wear sandals most of the time in the summer, and, when I take off my shoes, I've got the coolest white strips across my feet

Wear your tan lines proudly ... as a badge of honor ... for few have stranger tanning patterns than triathletes. Swim suit lines ... cycle jersey/short lines ... running gear lines ... and the dreaded whitefoot. I see ... and recognize!

They're a badge of honor! I have a reverse tri-trop tan permanently emblazened on my back. Been there for nigh on 15 months, and it shows no signs of fading.

I have Teva tan on my feet, but poor Eric has the whitest feet I've ever seen.  Well, as white as they can be for someone who's half Hispanic.

Sandal Tan for the WIN.

Sandals are my new work shoes. I'm looking for a decent pair that have spd clips too (:

Nothing wrong with tan lines.  IN the summer my arms and legs are in a gradient of shades.

Tan lines? What are these tan lines you all talk of? Being Scottish I'm white, no, not white..blue. It takes me some time to turn white.

You obviously are not running enough miles

Seriously, Sock Lines are never really a problem for me because I ALWAYS wear socks. No one gets to see my feet. (I have typical marathoner's feet)

You can always spot a group of marathoners at the Coffee shop because we are all wearing socks with our sandals

I even wear Aqua Socks when I surf, even in the Summer Time.

I saw an older gentleman at my local pool last week and he had obviously been doing a LOT of cycling. Sure enough we got chatting on a break and he started telling me about all the cycling training he was doing for STP. He was like cookies and cream. So funny I could see every destinct line of where his clothing would be, he was bald too and he even had little stripes from his helmet and also his sunglasses and his gloves. Brilliant.

We really need to see pics so we can make an appropriate judgment as to the potential embarrassment of the tan lines.  Myself, I just sunbathe naked on the weekends to eliminate tan lines obtained during the week.

Come to AZ. We'll turn that blue and white into a bright red in no time. They've scaled down the forecast for this weekend from 100 degrees to a cool 105.

And we need pics of that to assess how well those weekday tanlines have been eliminated.

courtney_leone - 2007-05-31 3:14 PM I've got a wedding on 7/07...a short, strapless bridesmaid dress. I dread dealing with the awful tan lines I'll be sporting at that point. I'm sure I'll stand out in the wedding photos!

 

I just had to wear a strapless dress for a wedding last weekend and I had the funny tan lines too.  They weren't as bad as before because I haven't trained in a while, but they were still pretty noticable.  The worst ones are on my feet from my favorite flip flops though - I don't think those will ever fade.

Since you're already fast, just wear sandals while you're waiting for the awards ceremony.  That will get your sock tan gone in no time.

No charge for the tan consultation.  but this is coming from someone that looks at the moon and gets a tan.

How about a lot of sunblock, applied carefully and diligently.  Then, when you need a tanned look (i.e. in a wedding) go get a spray on.  You win in every way.  Smooth color when you need it and nice pretty protected skin, less wrinkles when you get older, less rick of skin cancer, etc.  Block those UVs baby!  It's what all the cool kids are doing.
