Hi all
Gloucestershire 4x4 Response provided 4 marshals, 3 static and one roaming providing incident cover and basic radio comms to the roaming unit. The 4 members afterwards received basic first aid and water safety training, including CPR.
Triathlon was held by the Cheltenham Lido where the competitors had to swim, cycle and then run. We covered the cycle race. Only 3 incidents presented themselves, two chains falling off where traffic protection was provided and one puncture. The two chain incidents allowed the competitiors to carry on, with the puncture incident resulted in the competitor and bike taken back to the Lido. It was a great day out by all, good bit of exposure for 4x4 response.
Arrangements will be made to get all our members to at least basic first aid level.
