• Comments: Course was awesome! Swimming in the springs was fantastic and the run course kept my interest. Bike would have been better if I hadn't crashed early. Organization could have been better. Very few people knew what side of bouys they had to swim to. After my bike crash I remarked to the student volunteers (that were all chatting together at the turn) that someone should come up before the turn to let people know it was coming. All I got was a smart remark. Transition area was unsecure, which was a little disoncerting and post race was pretty tame. Can't complain about the price although I would pay much more for better organization.

• Comments: i really enjoy this race, especially with the course change. the swim is awesome b/c of the clear spring water and fish swimming around you. i like out and back bikes on shorter races and the run has a big hill that really challenges you.

• Comments: Overall a great race. Impressive given that the race director is a university student and organized by the school triathlon club. It's a fundraiser for the club. I like that they changed the run course to include that big hill, though that might not be a plus for everyone. Lots of friendly volunteers, mostly college students. This is a definite "must" triathlon due to the uniqueness of the swim venue.
