Tri Going Carbon

Elaine — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:20:22 +0000

We at Discover Multisport feel very passionate about the effects we are having on our environment and have decided to become the only carbon neutral event company in Scotland.

Climate change is real, we are all responsible for it and we all must be part of the solution!

This increase in CO₂ from roughly 280 parts per million (ppm) prior to the Industrial Revolution to about 392 ppm today is having a dramatic impact on our climate, both warming our climate and altering our weather with more droughts and more very extreme weather events. Our sea levels are rising and entire countries are at risk of disappearing. If the Greenland glaciers fail, global sea levels could rise by 20 feet, swamping low level areas around the world, including Florida and Manhattan, causing global catastrophe.

The cause of climate change is manmade and we must all do our part to protect our environment.

We are launching our new ” Tri Going Carbon ” triathlon event series this summer and will focus our efforts in providing recyclable and reusable items in all of our event goodie bags, recycling and composting bins during the events and will provide public transport information and car share schemes to reduce our effects on the environment.

Wild Swimming

Elaine — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:21:44 +0000

John Dyer open water swimmer

Why do I love open water swimming? I’ve often thought about that mainly because of most peoples reaction of incredulity at my exploits. I’ve realised though that wildswimming feels right and feels natural. I have swam in some of the most beautiful and scenic spots in the land. I feel part of the animal world and not an intruder in it. The uncertainty of the depths I’m swimming in along with the currents and tides I negotiate is like the daily journey I make in the other world called ‘life.’ The difference being the feeling when wildswimming of control and excitement that is always present and is occasional in my daily life. Meeting people from varied backgrounds, who when they swim together encourage and support one another is a plus. I’m very pleased to report that the past trend for open water swimming to be seen as ‘elitest’ and only to be done without a wetsuit on is eroding fast. More people than ever are taking a plunge on the wild side and I feel there isn’t a right way or a wrong way to be a wildswimmer, you do it your way! So come on dive in with or without wetsuit,few ever regret it.Daily life nowadays is more regulated than ever and wildswimming gives me the chance and the space to feel free and ‘natural’. What’s not to enjoy about that?
