Pasadena Triathlon.

This first race of the tour was the small, beginner friendly, Whole Foods Pasadena Triathlon. The expo was the day of the race. This made it difficult to sell a lot of products, but gave all of the companies great exposure as many of the first time trathletes were interested in our gear. They also wanted to knowwho USA Triathlon was and why they should be members.

And they are off.

The most popular item at our booth was the free goodie bags. Handing out samples, flyers, and catalogs kept us busy whenever people were around. People showed up mostly after the race. Before the race everybody was prepping for the day. Some people spent time browsing the booths before heading home after racing. Next stop Lake Havasu!
