<span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size:medium;">Here's my quarterly rant about Triathlon Life magazine (came in the mail yesterday). I just don't like that magazine and wish USAT would save the money. As just an average, run-of-the-mill triathlete I’ve expressed my lack of appreciation for it before. It never contains anything that I find useful or interesting. Now it’s making me feel sub-par as it morphs into a sale flier and an extensive multisport travel brochure. It’s says to me that if I don’t have a six-thousand dollar bike, a top of the line wetsuit for every day of the week, and regularly jet off to exotic venues for races that I’m not worthy to participate in the sport. I know there are other mags out there that cater more to the average multisport participant, but this one comes with the USAT membership…which I’m strong-armed into having. If everyone is required to be a USAT member, then their mag ought to cater to everyone.</span></span><br><br><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size:medium;">Dan</span></span>

You should move to the NW. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"><br><br>
The majority of the tris up here are under TriNW and they're not affiliated with USAT. I don't do enough USAT races/year to warrant an annual membership.
