  • Comments: I've been pretty happy with the events at Blue Lake, but this time I wasn't so impressed. About 1.5 weeks before the event I wanted to change my entry from AG to Athena so that Dave and I could start in the same wave. I emailed and received a confirmation. At packet pickup it still wasn't changed so I changed it again. The next day it still wasn't changed so I emailed again. Then they still managed to mess up my finish time. I fixed it onsite and it was STILL messed up later on. I also noticed that numerous other people were given the wrong color swim caps, so there was mass confusion at the start trying to get people into the correct waves. To top it all off, they are "going green" and no longer give out finishers medals, yet for $80 they only give you a crappy $5 tshirt. Overall, they still put on a decent show, but I'm not feeling that you really get your money's worth anymore on this one...
