To all those race directors out there, I do some races here and there and I think I have exceeded my limit of boring, 100% cotton t-shirts. I want, nay, NEED something more. So here is my recommended race partipant apparel criteria.
If its going to be a t-shirt then lets make it something a bit more useful. The days are behind us when triathlon were cutting edge, now they're simply trendy. Its not cool anymore to wear a "Some-random-town Triathlon" t-shirt, practically everyone has participated in atleast one by now it seems like. Instead, lets be able to wear them while we're actually training for our next race, and have them be of the finest blend of performance fabric. Doesn't matter what kind, just leave the cotton in the fields...and make sure it freakin' wicks! Colors...simple, anything other than white...because after a few workouts its no longer a crisp ivory, but a stained array unatractive color. Lets give orange a shot, or perhaps some crazy color that hasnt even been invented yet. That would be sweet. VERY cutting edge then.
Logos...no more blah pictures that show some random animal doing an excercise activity. Put in the effort to do something original, or work up some clever saying like, "Your mom does triathlons." Alright, thats not very original in itself but hopefully you're getting my point. We can do better people, and we can get this right...just take it one race at a time.
Ride it like you stole it.
