If they really hate the corporation so much, stop signing up for their races, stop inking their logo on your body and stop complaining! I'd never pay the access fee, but it might have been appealing to others. It was entertaining at least!Kristin Bradfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153520360380713154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-49241241587981047062010-10-29T15:33:03.606-04:002010-10-29T15:33:03.606-04:00I like your pumpkin!

I like the idea of volunteering, but for some, it's probably too expensive/too difficult to do two trips for the sake of one race. They need to figure out a way to even the playing field somehow.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272746327697367079.post-45044372521798140342010-10-29T09:45:27.624-04:002010-10-29T09:45:27.624-04:00nice pumpkin!

On top of giving back to the tri-community, it is like a dry run/learning experience for your actual race day. I learned so much invaluable information just by watching the race as well.<br /><br />Nice pumpkin! We still have to carve ours... maybe tonight.

To us it is, BUT if they included one race fee with it or even half, I would have been ALL OVER IT! Just saying.<br /><br />DC Rainmaker had a good post on what it cost to travel to the event, lodging, rental car blah blah blah.<br /><br />Nice pumpkin.
