A Look at Triathlon Finisher Medals from 2012 (from TriJuice.com)

Again our year-end look takes a peak at some of the triathlon finisher medals of 2012 from races around the world. From generic to highly custom designs, they offer those triathletes that like them a post race memory of the challenge they conquered whether short or long.

Yeah, yeah, some people like finisher medals, some don't. Some wear it proudly, some don't care. Without a doubt, the two most sought after triathlon medals of 2012 where the two gold medals at the London Olympic Games in the triathlon event, won by Nicola Spirig and Alistair Brownlee.

Again we have some real cool looking ones Revolution3 Triathlon from their Half-Full, Maine and Florida events. We can't forget to mention the unique ones athletes received in Cebu at the Ironman 70.3 Philippines race designed by local artist Kenneth Cobonpue. Honorable mention would go to the Roman numeral design for the Lifetime Tri - Chicago event, using the 3 X's to represent 30-years in their medal. Speaking of 30-years, we have two others medals in our collection from events being around for that long, the Gulf Coast Triathlon and the now gone Ironman Canada triathlon.
