It's really unique to have the disposable "D" tags (like above) or even the chips that you zip-tie on one's shoes. This PR was a big accomplishment for me, so the timing tag has a lot of sentimental value to me LOLKim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-45757377037361614602020-02-21T18:50:53.861-06:002020-02-21T18:50:53.861-06:00When I ran the RnR Las Vegas (also in 2017, just a...When I ran the RnR Las Vegas (also in 2017, just after my rally-back), that timing chip/tag stayed on that shoe, too. It was such a monumental race for me, after the surgery, etc. When I ran the Bix-7 (mentioned above) last summer and breaking that long-standing PR...well, that was a BIG deal for me. I don't think I'll ever remove that tag.Kim at Running on the Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03028968906430207641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-47272606396982348272020-02-21T18:48:03.047-06:002020-02-21T18:48:03.047-06:00Oh gosh, I have almost all of my bibs....from the ...Oh gosh, I have almost all of my bibs....from the very beginning.

I've yet to get a Pom Pom hat (which I love), probably because I don't do a whole lot of winter racing -- our supported runs do not have swag, and for the past 2 years, I haven't made it to any of them anyway!<br /><br />I do have a mug from one race, a beer stein from another (that I use for smoothies, LOL). And I buy myself a mug from almost every state.Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-77293733025088701412020-02-21T13:56:51.530-06:002020-02-21T13:56:51.530-06:00I really love the hats - I'm just a sucker for...I really love the hats - I'm just a sucker for a good hat! And that fleece blanket; that's such a fun race treasure. I kept a time chip from my PR marathon in 2011 until laster year. Once I beat the PR, I threw it away! Races that I have ran lately haven't been using time chips - it's kinda crazy! I think the timing strips are hooked on the back of the bibs now?Amy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683913769197406757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-10049130973205431842020-02-21T10:35:52.371-06:002020-02-21T10:35:52.371-06:00Can't say I have ever kept a timing chip.

We got a sweet little glass figurine in the shape of an elephant. Every year it’s a different animal so you could set up a zoo.
