My fault for waiting this long, but the link I have goes to a page saying it's currently not available. Is it sold out? What about races this weekend, do they hold a small # of slots for those?

According to the email I got from USAT yesterday, there are still spots left for the Sprint race on Sunday

I'm already signed up for that. Was waffling on the olympic. Not really in shape to do well in the Olympic distance race and let alone do well in the sprint after it. Finally decided no matter how the Olympic went I could gut out a decent performance in the sprint.
I'm racing this weekend will there be slots available for those who qualify this weekend. I though the qualification window was until August 1.

Thanks. But not really helpful. 😋

One thing to keep in mind; if there are still spots left, it seems to usually take USAT about a week to email you your entry link you need to sign up for the race
I know that doesnt completely answer your question, but might be good info to have. I would email USAT though if you can't find out if it is sold out from their site.

Would not be surprised. Thought it would have filled a long time ago, but the field size is now so much larger, ....

The Olympic is now on a waiting list.

How do you get on the waiting list?
Re: Is USAT nationals sold out [SpicedRum]
[ In reply to ]
when you go to sign up, it should say it is full. it then directs you to sign up, pay and you are on the wait list. if you don't get in, they refund you.
Re: Is USAT nationals sold out [SpicedRum]

It may have changed, but usually they let the entire wait list race.

I won my age group at a May 30 sanctioned event - qualifying for Nationals. The event director was late sending in the results. Then there were timing discrepancies to be resolved. Then the computer crashed and he's rebuilding the results database. Now he says he'll have them in by the end of this week. Sounds like the window has closed. Disappointing....

Thanks. I had to request a new link. Even though my email said it
Was the link to use until Aug 1st and they just sent it last week.
I emailed them and they sent me a new link. I'm now on the waitlist. Not sure if my fingers are crossed or not. I'm already signed up for the sprint & have airfare & hotel booked.

With in 24 hours of signing up on the waitlist I got an email saying I was transferred from waitlist to the race. Crap. It's gonna hurt.

Just got the email from USA Triathlon offering me a 50% rebate to cancel my Olympic entry. I'm sure that will open up some spots. Get on the wait list and you'll probably get in.

Is someone really does not want to do the race, with folks who do, why not get a better field, and they make a few more bucks.

They are getting my spot. I crashed on my bike, so I'm out of both the Olympic and Sprint races. I would have cancelled sooner, but in the past they have offerred this half refund program and I was waiting for them to make the offer. At least I'll get back half of my Olympic fees.

Heal quickly.

Here is the official answer to your question, which will be posted shortly on the USAT website:
"We are highly confident that every member who has qualified for, and wishes to compete, in the 2014 USA Triathlon Olympic-Distance National Championships will have that opportunity. Athletes who have not yet registered should sign-up for the wait list, which we anticipate will continue to be cleared in its entirety within one or two days. No qualified athletes should be turned away."
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Milwaukee for this huge and competitive weekend!

Great job USAT on trying to get everyone in who wants to race, and letting the folks go who cannot.
