I have to say I am a little disappointed that hats, shirts and medals look alike except for the name on them between the 2 events I ran this year (Steelhead and Augusta). The bags they gave away are exactly alike except for the tag on them. Maybe its a branding this but was hooping for something a little more unique. Usually you can see a finisher hat from a distance and tell what event it was now you have to look twice to see what event it was.

You should probably get a large tattoo with both the MDot and the name of your race. That way everyone will know what race you've done all the time.

REV 3 doesn't do this, every event is completely unique in of itself

Even more disappointing was that they had the 70.3 bags for sale in the merch tent. I also don't like that the HIM and IM hats are nearly identical.

Definitely easier/cheaper on WTCs end but it does make the swag less special.

The branded HIM I did this year did not have bags for us, and if you wanted a hat or visor you had to purchase it. Finisher shirts were also like 35$.

Lucky you got a bag
