    Scent of unwashed running gear, you mean!

    A decent spray deodorant will take care of "scent of accomplishment (if used judiciously).

    I didn’t know that coming last in swimming is an accomplishment?

    Definitely better than the smell of someone else’s accomplishment!

    Everything comes out of my gear bags after working out and gets washed. No smelly bags here.

    If you have a death-wish, look into your typical 8th grader’s backpack. You’ll find months-old class/work, remnants of various high-sugar junk food, a can or three of AXE deodorant, six pairs of earbuds, and the ever popular well-sweat-stained gym clothes.

    Sorry, Frazz,but no – your songwriting success is an accomplishment; your maintaining your humility and groundedness in the face of said success is an accomplishment. Your triathling, etc., is just a hobby.

    Nice but you can also find black holes in the back of any dog trainer’s car, or the garb crate of any LARPer or Rennie actor.

    Jef Mallett Blog Posts Frazz 17 hrs · I swear, people have thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail with less gear on their back than what people carry from their car to the transition zone of a sprint-distance triathlon. Present company very much included, with the clarification that I have never thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail.

    Maybe even funnier is swim bags. They’re not QUITE as bit and not QUITE as full of stuff, but given that we’re talking about a sport that can be executed with gear that could just about fit into a No. 10 envelope (or a manila envelope if you’re a woman, don’t prefer Swedish goggles or if you’re a male with a shred of modesty), it’s amazing what swimmers will bring to practice. Again, present company included, and I’ve got about as much shame as I have thru-hiking experience.

    I really need to go on a multi-week hike sometime, just out of curiosity for how undisciplined I would be with the packing. I fear I’d look like the human equivalent of a container ship. At least until the breakdown and temper tantrum and festival of flinging gear, sometime before noon of the first day.
