Either 1983 or 1984 Bud Light Greater Lansing Triathlon. I also have a Kona finisher's shirt from doing the Bud Light Ironman World Championships in Kona in 1986.

I've got some Bud Light USTS shirts too from the mid-1980's.

I think it's got to be my 2002 Duke Liver Center Half Ironman sweatshirt. They were actually allow to call it a half "ironman" then. 

I finally had to throw out my 1999 Wake Excellence Sprint tri shirt. Got too nasty from wearing to work in a restaurant kitchen.

In a related way, do you ever throw them out.  I have a hard time even though my wife begs.

Cool to see so many who have been at this for a long time.  I love it now but there is always some nestalga conected to the old shirts.

Dari-lite biathlon in Green Lake (Seattle) 1981.  Bellevue 10k championships 1981.  Little Boston 4 mile run in Seattle 1981.  St Joseph Hospital run with Bill Rodgers 1981.  Independence Triathlon now Lake Padden Tri in Bellingham from 1983. Sumner Triton triathlon 1983.

Sigh.. my glory days.

My oldest triathlon shirt is from my first-ever tri, the Lonestar Sprint in Galveston TX in 2007. It’s a long-sleeve tech shirt, so I don’t wear it that often, which is why it’s still wearable. It’s a great shirt—it has a cartoon Armadillo swimming, biking, and running on it.
