I agree it’s not ideal but at the end of the day I have over 100 medals I reckon scattered about the house. Other than on the way home from a race I have never worn them if looked at them.

If there is an issue with having the right number of medals, they could have the same one for both distances and have different ribbons for each distance, which would be cheaper.
