A way to get by the confusion and avoid poaching, Let racers from this year sign up at the 2010 event for the 2011 race. Many Tri's have sign up the day after the event. We show up with our number from the 2010 race, and pay for the 2011 race. Or, to accomodate those not spending the evening, When we get our race packet the day before, make arrangements so we can register for the 2011 at that time. Any spots left open can go to the online registration when you open that up. Seems to work nicely for the Lake Placid Triathalon Hello PCP2P- I raced last year and was obvously very happy to see that finishers got first shot.

That seems fair. LT100 main problem, in my opinion, is that the race director isn't consistent and lets people group "packets" of people together with prior finishers which really causes problem and seems unfair. I say this with full disclosure that I did LT 100 last year and got in on a "packet", but I honestly felt guilty about it after others didn't get in. Question: Is there a chance that the 300 limit will someday be raised to accommodate more racers? Who is setting this as the cap on the entrants?

I was so appreciative of the early email notifying open reg for 2009 racers. I plan on doing this race every year untill i die of old age climbing spiro and they have to carry me down the mountain, stuff me, dip me in wax and prop me up at the finish line for finishers to pose next to. I know you guys will do the right thing for future registration. I really like the idea of the top riders in each cat getting a special invite for the next year. I did this race last year.

I missed last year due to schedule and have and will continue to focus training around this event. I would hate to not make it in due the errors like this. Honestly 300 slots is really not that much, why can't you increase the amount of available slots to 400 or even 500. Either way see ya at 9am. This is also planning on being my HUGE race for 2010.

Throw some kind of bone to those that have supported you in the past. I like the age group idea too. I appreciate you looking out for those of us that raced last year by opening up early. A lottery just opens it up to No Shows and that hurts everyone. You're doing a great job and you have a fantastic race. See you in September.

This is the biggest race I've been planning on this year. Too bad there isn't a locals preference. Here's to hoping. This makes me sick. This is the biggest race I’ve been planning on this year.

I got a text from two of my teammates saying registration was open and sign up. I did not see anything when I went to sign up that said for last years riders? As far as next year, first come first serve is about as fair as it gets. I also agree the Leadville way is a complete joke which I why I will never race Leadville again. See you all in the fall in Park City! BW My apologies to all as I was not aware the sign up was for last years riders. I got a text from two of my teammates saying registration was open and sign up.

Ive been watching and waiting for this race to open for 4 months! I think your gonna need to open more than 300 slots for this race. Very frustrated, almost half the slots are already gone!
