Thanks for another great race- I completed Saturday's sprint triathlon. I'll look forward to next month's race at Moss Park!
Respectfully,

It was great! Everyone seemed to have a good time. Well run. I already commented positively on Facebook. Nice of you to have the times posted so quickly. I drove back to Gainesville and they were available when I arrived.
Thanks again

You know I have been racing in your triathlons for about 3 and half years. I have had many great meories, and some really tough challenges. Today's race, though on the same course, proved to one of the best races I have been in for a long time... Today was fast and exciting, and I saw triathletes whom I have competed at other triathlons for the first time at your race. The level is going up, and people are hearing about Buttar. Congratulations on providing a good, safe, and challenging venue!
Keep training and keep racing,
Bill Floyd

Thanks so much to the tall volunteer guy at the end of the bike portion. He actually ran along side me with some encouraging words to get me to the flags.... Totally gave me a boost going into the run!

This was my first Olympic Tri. & enjoyed it very much. You did a great job in putting the event together, the location was great as well. I did not know this park existed...You guys did a great job, keep up the good work.

Thank you for putting on an incredible event today at Moss Park. I set the goal to complete the Olympic Triathlon this year and just took up the competition with a couple of Sprints these past two years at Baldwin Park.
The speech you delivered to the My First Tri athletes just prior to the swim was highly motivational and relevant. Getting out of the water today was an incredible experience, but I never would have imagined how difficult the run would be.
I look forward to competing in future sprints and using your races as training milestones.
Thank you,
Scott Skidelsky

Me and two of my friends participated in the Sprint Duathlon this past weekend. (This was all of our 1st Duathlon.) Overall We all had a great time and would DEF. Sign up for more events!!
Thanks!

First, I would like to offer some feedback on the Buttar Triathlon Festival that was held last weekend at Moss Park. In the many years that I have had the pleasure of participating in Buttar.com events, this was one of the best ever. I believe that what made it so special was the quality of the staff and volunteers. Although all the staff and volunteers were wonderful, a few deserve special mention. In particular, there was a woman at packet pick-up from France who was extremely nice and very helpful. At the race, there was a young lady walking up and down the transition area encouraging everyone, offering to answer any questions, and making everyone feel valued and important. The person who answers support emails was extremely kind to my daughter who participated in the Olympic Triathlon in assisting her with some last minute registration details. Finally, Z, Kim, and Jeff did their usual fabulous jobs. Thanks to all. Thank you once again for a wonderful experience!

I just wanted to thank you. I really enjoyed meeting both of you on Friday. Kim, the swim clinic was awesome and it really helped me on Sunday’s swim. I was the last one out of the water (you warned me that us Total Immersion swimmers are slow) but thanks to you, I avoided the panic that I normally have (despite leaking goggles and being swam over several times) … that was HUGE !
Z, I don’t know what to say, man. You were there to high five me coming out of the water and then again at the finish line. That’s awesome. Thanks for making the slow guy feel welcome.
You guys have blown me away. I’ll be back.

Take care,
