running with a sweat-soaked cotton shirt plastered to ya is uncomfortable at best -wet cotton is heavy! worse, it might feel soft but run for very long and you’re gonna end up with abrasions wherever the shirt rubs. sure, bloody nipples make for interesting watercooler talk (or maybe not), but geez that smarts!

loose fitting “tech tees” are much lighter, drier and a better choice than cotton any ol time. look around for a race that gives tech shirts as schwag, then give the shirt a try … niiice!
