Well, I have been thinking that maybe we should not even have trophies. Maybe this is the kind of race where trophies are really inconsequential. Maybe people are just happy about doing it and finishing it.

I ALWAYS put a lot of thought into the trophies for this particular race, and often I make them myself, because this race is very important to me. So when people don't show up to get their trophies and don't even call afterwards and ask for their trophies to be sent to them, I feel like what's the point.

Know what I mean?

And then, on the other hand, I had a couple of people asking why there aren't T-shirts to buy, because they would like something to show that they had actually competed in this race.

Maybe should have SOMETHING to give competitors besides a bottle of champagne. A flag or a T-shirt or something.

What do you guys think?
