I find that when I'm sick I don't feel like getting as dressed up, but I still feel like being comfortable which for me is nightie or skirt and hosiery while curled upon the couch.
My wife have taken part in some relay races and been sore after the event. Feet, legs, etc. Its a event over 36 hours where you get very little sleep. I find myself wanting some good strong support style hosiery for recovery for a couple days after the event. (this will be our 5th year doing it)
