Subject: RE: Do most Tri's give Finisher Medals? I get medals from sprint tris that have a big corporate sponsor (Reebok, Danskin ), and also for some 5ks (Nike ). Only once did I get one from a truly local tri.
They can keep them. And it isn't about the cost. It is just more momentos to clutter up my house. Unlike the t-shirts, which I wear almost every day, and the bib numbers, which I scrapbook, I can't think of what to do with the medals. I bought a frame for the one I got at my very first tri, but the others just get thrown somewhere when I get home from the race and then resurface unexpectedly. I tripped over one this morning, as a matter of fact. I proceeded to toss it in the back of a closet, where I probably won't see it again until I move. |
