- Finished runner-up at a local 3k and got a handmade piece of pottery with a slip of paper in it. It looked like an slightly oversized check with $300 written on it, started to get excited then realized it was a 6 month membership to the local gym and that was the retail value of the membership. I've never understood why they give gym memberships to the top finishers.
Have actually got overall; first master; first in age group.
Have also got cash for first 50+ & third 40+ in the same race (came to $400). Felt guilty as fourth in the 40+ was a friend.
On the other hand in a state road mile championship, I finished third overall in the first heat (at 40+). A master ran in the second heat, and he got $200 for first master, while I got $50 for third overall.
