All you guys are amazing, and Matt would be overwhelmed at what you pulled off.
Someone that Obviously Knows Matt ;)It is a great thing what you guys are doing. My wife and I were honored to be a part of it and to try to give back a little when others have given so much. Thank you for letting us share in this event.
Husband and Wife VolunteersI had never been to a triathlon before, but it appeared to be very well thought out. The medals given to the participants were awesome!
VolunteerIt would be great if Jason Key could lead the swim in a Yellow Speedo next year.
VolunteerYes, the experience was more fun and rewarding than I had imagined. I had a great time, and thankfully the weather was nice.
VolunteerIt was awesome.
Bereft TriathleteWell done! It was a nice way to honor Matt.
TriathleteThis could become one of those epic events in the community – so many positive things have been said, and this was such a phoenominal event. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!
TriathleteThis race was very well organized! You clearly have experienced triathletes in charge! Great job!!
TriathleteThanks for the opportunity to honor a fellow soldier, and to volunteer for a cause which will help other wounded warriors. Really enjoyed getting to know and work with the team organizers. Hope to be able to serve in Matt’s honor again next year.
Chris @ Smithville American LegionGreat job for your first race. The venue was small enough that it wasn’t an overwhelming mass like the 800+ people triathlons. Very friendly for all racers and volunteers.
VolunteerI volunteered with my Mom and two daughters. We couldn’t think of a better cause.
VolunteerIt was my first. Others that have done tri’s before said this was the most organized event they had been to. GREAT JOB!!!
TriathleteIt was an awesome experience. Although I didn’t know Matt, I can tell he was a very special individual. His friendship really meant a lot to the guys who organized this event.
VolunteerGreat Triathlon. It was a great experience and is my favorite course. Thank you – everyone did an excellent job organizing this race.
