Not sure if you personally have an axe to grind with WTC competition but I will vouch for CAC (Half). It was a 1st class triathlon, from bib PU to the actual race to the great finish line setup. Maybe the site needs more attention but coming from the people who did the event I think it is largely positive feedback. I will be back 100% for sure. I actually earned myself a free room at Ballys for next year :)


Well, almost 600 did the full last year. 150 did it this year. Your'e right..that is GREAT positive feedback. Races that are so well run almost always see a 75 percent drop in participation.

My point, though, is that if Challenge wants people like me to try their events, they should do just that wee little bit to get me interested. I think rather than looking at it as an axe, it would be taken as constructive criticism. Since that word of mouth thing does not seem to be working for them, perhaps making the whole thing look first class would help.


Not sure how you earned that room at Ballys, but you may want to book another room just in case. Casinos are leaving AC faster than full distance registration
I did the Half, so I cant speak for the Full and why it dropped so much in participation. My wife and I had a blast and stayed until Monday afternoon. We don't gamble in general . I think she spent $20 on slots while I went to bed early pre-race. Post race though we ate some excellent food at a few stops on the Boardwalk, then as the beers kicked in we went dancing like fools at a couple different spots until 1AM. We havent had that much fun in a while without kids. So for me it adds value to be able to do all that at a race that is a 5hr drive away. I will say that MANY of the AC/Boardwalk people are a bit odd we just ignored them.

I am looking forward to Challenge Maine. This course is VERY underrated. As for the free room all it took was good credit, saw a sign for a free room if you're approved for a Visa. Applied -approved and there a free room for next year at Ballys/Ceasars. Stick that in the sock drawer.
