That has happened to me as a para-athlete. I competed at the NY triathlon as a PC Open candidate. I won beating out 4 other athletes. All the classified athletes got monetary prizes and awards. Nothing for us in the open category. Where did this happen? I have gone to USAT when I have gotten poor treatment from race directors. They took it up with the race director. I also send an email to the race director before the race to let them know I will be competing. USAT has been great about having a PC Open category at all National Events. We are now also eligible to have our times assessed against the AG athletes for slots for Team USA. It has come a long way in the 12 years I have been competing.
Is this a joke? This entire sport has become a joke to me. I’m a paratrathlete. I won and didn’t even get an award. Support that.
