I have a lot of race t shirts. More like a ton of them. there are some I wear on a regular basis and there are some I have never worn once. Some are great looking and some are horrible. Some fit me great and others don't, but there is one shirt that I really thought I would wear alot and I don't...
My Redman 140.6 Finisher shirt.

I bet you I have not worn that shirt more than 5 times since I completed the course. I started thinking about this the other day when I wore it to church on Sunday night. I really like the shirt and it fits well. I am also very proud of my finish, but for some reason, I just do not wear it often.
And I do not really know why. Every race I go to, I see IM finisher shirt, visors, jackets, you name it. Yes, even at kids triathlons. I wear other race shirts alot, but for me, this one is special I guess, or maybe it's not special. I don't really know. Many people have said that they like my shirt and want to get one, which I tell them this shirt was not given to me, but that I earned it. They can't just go pick one up!
Maybe it is something that I am treasuring and don't want to wear it out. It's weird and as I am sitting here in the ATL airport typing this, I am struggling to come up with a good answer or even figure out if there is an answer?
I think part of me thinks I know I
Or maybe I need my plane to board so I can go to sleep!
