Financial decisions were made. Good ones? Irrelevant.
The I Paid Money for This Tee is for every athlete who voluntarily handed over an entry fee for the privilege of waking up before sunrise and suffering in public.
The front acknowledges the transaction: Financial Decisions Were Made. The oversized back provides the receipt:
I PAID MONEY FOR THIS.
Registration fee. Travel. Shoes. Fuel. Parking. Photos you will absolutely complain about and probably still buy.
For race weekends, questionable spending habits, sold-out registrations you somehow found money for, and anyone who has ever said “I’m not signing up for anything else this year” immediately before entering their credit card information.
