SWAG from the OR show

It falls short of Christmas in July, but it does rank right up there with the experience of going to Toys R' Us when your a tike. I'm pretty happy about a few of these things, the 2XU recovery socks and the Merino wool shirt in particular. The tent lantern, regular socks, Tifosi shades, sandals, etc... are all useful stuff in the Whitehouse. Lot's of cool new stuff, lot's of new stuff that doesn't stand a chance, and an assortment of freebies that are certainly superior to the banking conference circuit where the stress/squish balls are somehow still thought to be a good use of swag funds. They are not, regardless of shape, size, or color - seriously. On the topic of overplayed swag, on the race scene, let's find something to replace t-shirts and water bottles - seriously.
