Not the reason we all do this but
I've had all sorts this year, drinks bottles, t shirts ( all tho in some races this was extra), and a bottle of beer( still cant get my head around that one).
But if you entered a race, at a cost of 35 quid what would you think is a good stash in a goody bag.
at 35 quid i recon you should have a bottle and a t shirt plus the usual gels, powder drink etc.
Any one get anything way out there this year

the beer was defintitely the best one, although i quite liked the purple towel i got at faringdon.
most of my races were pretty budget (only one was over £30) so if i come away with very little i don't mind. i'm there to race and have fun, not stock up on spare clothes and gels, although they all help!
I have had 2 gatorade bottles standard friut ofthe loom T shirt's some flapjack andloads of leaflets for some bizaire local attractions!
I would like to get a selection of gels a forgoodnesshake or 2 maybe a discount card for thelocal tri shop.
I've had a really nice T-shirt and a drink and a T - shirt and a recovery bar, that's the best I've seen.
Worst at the ampleforth MTB tri - couple of leaflets and an inner tube which strangely was for a road bike.
for the most expensive race i've done, all off road so no road closures / police costs etc. this was very poor.
Got a bag, Technical T, Mug with the Graniteman Logo, Number belt, loads of Powerbar Gels / Bars (literally dozens) and a Graniteman badge which my daughter was over the moon with.
Not bad as entry was only £55
i did liverpool tri for £56....no goody bag...just a medal
tatton park was £58....bag had a training shirt...drinks bottle and some gels and leaflets....no medal
I'd rather have a medal
most expensive was at dorney and got a crap tee shirt , free drink and a pair of goggles
had two good ones weatherby and ripon a wetsuit bay and a tee shirt and a thermal mug and tee shirt and oil for the bike.
overall we don't do the races for the freebies but they do help
Please advise if yes.
Have done Dorney lake x 2 and got a shirt in each (220 evening series and FGS event) -
London for £72 was a Gatorade bottle.
2 shirts and a sports bottle for over £160 - quite pathetic.
Brigg last weekend had two tri magazines (old ish issues though), t shirt, banana.
