The cost of registration

Do you have an upper limit for the price of race registration? Even though I have the means to pay fees in the neighborhood +/- $175.00 to register for an Oly distance race (slightly less for the shorter races)…I’m just having a hard time justifying that much to race. Especially when I’m just an aged, decrepit weekend warrior racing for nothing more than the challengers in my mind. Call me a cheapskate. I began racing triathlon in the sport’s infancy. I understand everything that goes into that…insurance, fees for course safety, etc. Those necessities haven’t changed over the decades. But, the price for registration in a tri has increased significantly compared to a road (foot) race. It’s really disappointing to me. — Dan
