I posted this in the Austin 70.3 thread, but I think it deserves general scrutiny. I got an email about AWA benefits at Austin that included this obnoxious paragraph:
"We've set up a fast pass check in line in the Athlete Check-in area located at the Travis County Expo center. If there is a line, simply look for the AWA flags, jump to the front of the line or to the appropriate table and watch all the other athletes - who are not AWA - wish they were AWA! We hope the fast pass line will help speed you through the check in process and give you more time to prepare for the big event on Sunday."
So the primary benefit of being AWA is getting to be a dick and have everyone hate you. At check in today there was no AWA flag. No separate AWA line. Apparently I was just supposed to cut to the front. No way am I going to do that. How absurd!
