4 Priorities Parking Lots of contestants ( ) in a very small area makes parking a real challenge, and one of our primary missions. Dangerous Intersections Focus on assigned intersections, help direct the participants in the proper direction. Traffic All stations will watch for and report dangerous traffic situations, so that the proper support can be deployed.

5 Checklist Mobile Radio (Dual Band with Gain Ant Preferred) Handheld Radio (Dual Band Preferred) ANSI II Vest ($14 at Walmart) Lawn chair & Shade (Umbrella) Snack: in case you miss lunch Bug Spray & Sunscreen This Guide & Route Map Spare batteries Water Something to read during the quiet times Programming instructions for your radios Full Fuel Tank

6 Assignment Types Checkpoints: monitor intersections where cyclists could miss a turn or encounter dangerous high-speed motor traffic. These operators are the ones the cyclists are most aware of, because they're plainly visible with their event window flags. They are greatly appreciated because they provide reassurance that help is near if needed. They're even more appreciated if they carry some drinking water for thirsty riders. (see later note). Please try to count the cyclists as they go by, and provide that info to NC when asked. Medics: If you see a medical problem call it in to Net Control and assist if you feel able. Most common: skinned legs from a fall (treat with water & antiseptic) or bonking out from the heat (treat with shade and air temperature water until they begin to sweat again.) Rover : move up and down the line of cycles, keeping tabs on where the front cyclists are and where the laggards are. They watch for cyclists in trouble -- those with cramping muscles, disabled bikes or other mishaps, including unfriendly dogs or crashed bikes with injured riders. Shadow : Will tail various Ride coordinators, ambulances and other non-ham support vehicles and pass information between them, and net control. Safety : The liaison station to EMS, Sheriff, PD & Fire. Any non-critical calls for medical assistance can be directed through this station. Critical calls for medical assistance should be made by saying BREAK BREAK BREAK, and then notifying net control of the location, rider condition and description. 911 should only be called as a last resort.

15 Final Thoughts Thank you on behalf of the Triathlon and ARES The hard work we all put forth for this event not only benefits the riders, but also is great emergency communication training for us. This event is as close to how a real emergency operation is run as we could ever devise. Having worked several of these as well as several real events I can tell you that no two are ever the same and there is no such thing as "too much training". Most of all, have FUN! This is just drudgery if we don t enjoy ourselves. Again... THANK YOU!!!! Brian Short, KC0BS JO CO ARES EC
