Why is this not the pinnacle event it should be?
Agree. I was at the worlds last year.. obviously funded myself and a lot of logistical hurdles to overcome , time off work etc .
To get to sign on and have to queue for over 2 hours while ‘elites’ were ushered through first
The entire weekend, I was made to feel like we were all there to fund the race but celebrations and focus was all on the elites
We didn’t even get a bottle of water at the finish!
I would not go back to one of these races
