OK, I've been thinking about this for a while but I'm not sure if I ever actually ever posted about it here or RWOL so here's my idea...
I have almost 100 tshirts from races I've done. At first it was like a badge of honor, I wore my shirts proudly, but that's all but worn off and now it's more like just a collection. So, what if when you ran a race you sent the shirt to someone in another part of the country (or even world) in exchange for a shirt from their race?
Here's my thought on how it would work, when you're going to register, post here that you are racing on xx/xx, someone else who is racing at close to the same time (so you're not waiting 4 months for a shirt) responds. The initiator would have the option to choose the offer that want if there are multiples.
I think that as much info about the shirt that is known should be posted. We all know that shirts for races can change year to year, sometimes long sleve, sometimes tech shirts, etc. If the info known is posted and the shirt is different you should still accept it to be fair.
Once you decide, you'll need to exchange tshirt sizes so you register with the right size for the person you are sending it to.
Addresses can be PM'd for shipment.
For example: I am running a race on 11/27 called "The Reindeer Stampeed" the past 3 years they have been long sleeved tee's. If anyone is running the same weekend or close, and is willing to swap shirts, let me know and I'll register with your t-shirt size.
Make sense? Sound like something you'd participate in? I like the international flavor we have here, it would be cool to get shirts from around the world.
Thoughts? recommendations?
