Day 108 - More Containers
More containers, stashed away for years unused in a box, which is really another kind of container.

Day 102 - Most of a Coffee Maker
Not sure where the rest of it went... between the fancy machine my spouse bought me for xmas one year and my French press, this is no longer needed.

Day 99 - Still More Old Race Shirts
Shirt from the first big cottonwood hill climb I did... citizens divisions. Nothing like getting non-licensed riders to be interested in racing by chiding participants for violating USCF regulations regarding jersey sleeves.

This has to be the world's ugliest event T shirt... unfortunately the ride organizers are so enamored of it they reuse it year after year.

Day 98 - Old Race Shirts Part 2
Another cascade run off shirt. I did my fastest six miles ever... middle of nowhere somewhere in the woods close to the coast... sunrise after little sleep; blew it out in a tad over 36 minutes. Caught my team flat footed as they hadn't staged the next runner yet.

My first and last marathon. Nothing like bussing you 26 miles out into the desert to motivate a finish. Ultimately too much running...

Another cascade run-off. I think this was the year I took the lead off run - all downhill from Timberline lodge. Set personal bests for 2 miles (9 minutes!), 3 miles (14 minutes!) , and so on. Paid the price by losing all the skin off both heals due to massive blisters, which made the remaining legs of the relay a chore.

Day 97 - Old Race Shirts Part 1
Shirt from the first multi-sport race I ever did - 5K run, 30K bike, 5K run. Former Olympian marathoner Frank Shorter was in the race too, still killing it if I recall correctly.
Triathlon shirt from back in the day before I focused on the one true sport, cycling. Ironically cycling was my weakest leg in triathlon (little has changed there) but the one I enjoyed the most.
Hood to coast shirt from 1992 - they knew how to do a garishly colored shirt back then.
30 K warmup 2weeks prior to the trail's end marathon.

T Shirt from the very first Jordanelle triathlon, which was an off road race. I won the raffle for a wet suit, a guy who I shall refer to only as V. entered the clydesdalle division to win the timex watch for first knowing full well he was at least 20 lbs underweight, and my friend Bob smoked me so bad in the race he was on the massage table before I started the run.

My first Triathlon... didn't think I would survive. I was freaked out by the super cold lake water and the swim, but settled down when the guy with only one leg passed me. The mountain bike with the huge vertical into the thin air put the hurt on, and the final run was more of a limp, but nevertheless I was able to nut it out.

Day 95 - Xmas Death Book
This was the textbook from a course taught by one of the book's authors. We were assigned a massive take home final/project be done over Xmas break one year, which essentially eliminated the R&R from the break. Upon returning from break, we learned the professor had died over break...

Day 94 - Hand Mixer
From back in the hunter-gatherer days before domestication and the accompanying stand mixer.

Day 91 - Dirt Magnet
I could not use this without my chain turning black, regardless of how quickly or thoroughly I wiped the chain after applying.
