Game changing medical support
70 mile check point on 100 mile run/walk event. Entrants coming in in good condition in extreme heat. Medics kind, cheery and proactive in treating entrants in sensible proactive way. All to often the medical team provided at such events are a hindrance rather than a help as they lack experience in dealing with the common problems and psychology/ endurance of entrants on ultra events. As a retired doctor myself I usually spent the second half of the shift managing medical issues at the checkpoint on this event (on top of running the catering and the managing the check point). Challange dealt with everything making my day really enjoyable
The last person in collapsed unable to move a mile or so away. Medic went out with transport. I resigned to a long wait to close check point for an ambulance (as per previous experience) but the medic had them fit for transport back to HQ within the hour. What a star.
