Can you imagine what this is?
OK, we can all see that it has something to do with the Lisbon Marathon in 2004.
Zoom out ...
It's a shiny silver finisher anorak from Maratona de Lisboa '04.
It was my first marathon, run on April 20th in 2004, obviously. I was quite satisfied with the result of 3:39 and something.
The day was cold for Lisbon standards with 10 degrees and a bit of rain.
I will tell you the full story about this marathon some other day. The reason why I am showing off with this anorak is that the thing had reached the end of its usability. I won't keep it just for the sake of the memory.
I do have two other memorabilia from my first marathon. Let them remain a secret for now.
What items do you keep to remind you of your achievements? Besides your fond memories, of course.
