SILVERMAN TRIATHLON AID STATION #10 Successful

Silverman Aid Station #10 November 9th, 2008 – We staffed the station from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.Â Our theme was patriotic with red, white and blue in colors. We played patriotic music and had bells, horns, whistles for noise makers. We had a food station for our volunteers with extra snacks, hot dogs, and chili. We were very popular with the HPD ATV & motorcycle patrols through out the day.Â Even though the weather was horrible, everyone had a good time and enjoyed the athletes through out the day.Â

Silverman Aid Station #10

Saw our first rider around 11:00 a.m. and our last rider about 4:30 p.m.Â

Our peak period was steady from 12:30 p.m. to around 3:00 p.m.

Our later riders had more needs upon arrival at the aid station ( rest room, food, salt, first aid etc).Â

Had one rider late in day cash in and call for pick up…had chills and was cold, Henderson para-medics cared for his needs as they were on station.

Had 25-volunteers sign up for aid station; and had 20 volunteers show up; plus a few drop-ins from area who didn’t sign in.

Overall the event gets better each year. The number of athletes who told us thanks and that we were appreciated certainly made our day.Â

You can count on the River Mountains Trail Partnership for next years event and aid station support.
