Pi$$ed

I have been watching the website for the Grand Haven Triathlon for weeks now. I could not sign up until today. They advertised that they were offering Jersey's instead of T-shirts and that is one of the reasons I chose it. We made plans around it and got a sitter. Today I go to the site to sign up and there is a notice that the jersey's are all gone and went to only the first 200 people to sign up, something that was not there before. Now they will be offering T-shirts, for more money than the jersey's because of late fees (which I have no problem paying). I don't know if I should just skip this race. Yes I am all pissy about a jersey. I have race T-shirts, from running, coming out of my ears. I race for nice shirts! they also cancelled the kids TRi. Is this just poor planning and if this is how it is before the race is this a good place for me to go to my first tri?
