Thanks to you all for coming out to the meet - it was great to have such a large turnout this year! A special thanks to whoever brought the great weather with them.

If you have any comments for us on anything we can do to improve the meet (or anything you particularly liked) - from organizational aspects all the way to the courses - please post it up here. Your comments play a big role in helping us to evaluate the meet and begin to make decisions and changes for next year, as well as how we train up the guys who will be taking over these jobs in the next few years.

Thanks!

although the weather certainly played a big part in making this a terrific meet, the organization and course setting made everything very enjoyable. The courses were well-set...thanks Keith! I especially like the spectator friendly sprint.

Just a fantastic meet. The courses were great the whole weekend, but I thought today's blue course was simply excellent--one of the best I can remember at West Point.

I didn't think the sprint venue was necessarily the best, but again, good courses, and a masterful job of adapting to constraints--both in advance, and as I understand, very, very late in the game.

Also, the convenience of having a nice event center for both Saturday events is worth some compromises.

And, of course, all the other aspects, especially the professionalism and enthusiasm of the event staff, is much appreciated.

It's hard to come up with constructive criticisms for this event - there just doesn't seem to be much to criticize at all. The only thing I can think of, and this is just really trivial and has nothing to do with the quality of the event, is to provide recycling containers somewhere.

My courses (Brown middle and long) were very good. The walk to start was long, but advertised well in advance so not a problem. There was plenty of water everywhere it needed to be. Maps were a tad sketchy in a few places, but nowhere critical, and as noted elsewhere there are plans for remapping things.

So can't really offer any suggestions. The one time I mentioned a lack of tp in one of the port-a-potties, someone was there pronto to take care of it. Having event staff so easily identifiable is a real bonus.

Thanks for a super event!
