Triathlon Event Medical Cover

Event Medical Cover in the Cairngorms!

A busy time for us just now, last sunday we were providing the Medical Cover for Aviemore Triathlon and this weekend we'll be taking care of the Medical and Safety Cover for the Cairngorm section of the Starman Night Triathlon.

Aviemore Triathlon

We set up at @badaguish at 8am and went down Loch Morlich to cover the swim section. The loch was calm, and a balmy 17degrees!

After the swim, the competitors hopped on their mountain bikes and looped the Glenmore forest, with some gnarly single track at the top of badaguish.

Lastly, the run. They headed up towards the Sluggan pass and finished off back at the event hub at Badaguish.

Another awesome event by Durty Events , well done to everyone who took part!

A little bit strange for our medical and safety team of 6 to be back on Cairngorm last night providing medical cover for the Starman Night Tri. All the team members work for the Cairngorm Ski Patrol so their used to operating on these slopes during the winter with a little bit more snow, well maybe not last season...

It's always great to catch up with the guys that work with. Whilst Iain was at the event brief at the Loch, the other team members were getting treated to a very fine coffee by Ruari, not a bad way to start the night shift!

As darkness fell, we set out the markers and glow sticks to mark the run route for the Cairngorm section, and got a little rest before the event started at Loch Morlich at midnight.

Unfortunately, the summit of Cairngorm was in thick mist the entire night which reduced the visibility down to around 3 meters at the summit.

It was great to provide the safety and medical cover for the Cairngorm section of the race, to provide this cover we had a full evacuation kit, 2 defibs, resus kits, loads of insulated cas bags/bivi shelters and heat packs. It was good to give our new VW Transporter 4Motion a bit of a test coming up the hill road to the Ptarmigan as well, we're very impressed with how easily it got up.
