Can buy way into USAT national championship Can't Post
Wow, I just got this in the mail.



) USA Triathlon is offering an exclusive Timbuk2 messenger bag as one of the benefits of purchasing a Silver or Gold membership this year. In addition, Gold members receive automatic entry into our USAT Age Group National Championship, not to mention a $15 discount on the entry fee.



Is this true that one does not even have to qualify anymore, just buy a slot?

It was bad enough when you had to qualify with the percentage in question, but, this seems to say no matter what your time is, or even having a time, if you give the USAT money it does not matter, you are in the "national champtionships". Boy, this really takes the air out of my invitation. Now I really am asking is going worth the cost since it seems it is just another race now if the above is true.

Any thoughts?

One of several reasons I have not had a yearly usat membership in 2 years.

it'll die on it's own, you can delete your original post if you want, but the thread will remain.
