In honor of WTC's NYC registration debacle, I figured I would start a game called "things I would rather spend $1200 on."

I'll start:
2010 new in box Zipp 404's shipped for $1200 (saw this sale recently)

I like this one but IMLP is now in the 625 range.

Granted, IMLP is more expensive....but I'll throw the Tupper Lake money in towards that and make the wine a nice Leonetti Cabernet.

OR...since I want to retire from IM anyway, I could do 12-15 sprints and travel around having fun. :)

100 six packs would be a lot more fun than swimming through NYC's toilet too!

Anything that costs $1200 that would make me not suck at swimming. probably a coach and unlimited pool time for a while.

Not that I was planning on doing the race, but $1200 would be better spent on a week long trip to Kazakhstan or Mongolia.

No shit,$1,200 would pay for a five week cycle trip across Australia...or two months in SE Asia.
