Maybe I'm just being a grumpy old git, but:
Am I the only one who, when arriving at the finish of a Sportive (or recently a 5k run) is disappointed and bemused to be given a pointless medal. I can't think of any use for one, but am loathe to chuck it out. Hence my sock draw is now collecting a bunch of useless hunks of metal, or metal-looking pastic. Give me a cloth badge, a sticker, a drinks bottle, a banana, a commemorative spare inner tube; anything but a medal.
And breathe!
