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.
Older Jordanelle shirt, from one of the first years the bike portion was on road.
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.
