What were the chances that there was someone right there with a catheter. Almost as incredible as having 3 runners in the 80-84 age group.<br /><br />I was just going to write a post about the fatalities at the marathons lately. There were even two deaths at the San Jose Half. At Firetrails there was a runner who collapsed shortly after leaving an aid station. This guy was a veteran runner who suffered a heart attack. The next runner behind him was an EMT who started CPR, there was a paramedic who was pacing and another runner who was an EMT. They saved his life. A trail run has got to be one of the worst places to have a medical emergency. You know how it is, sometimes you are out in hard to access areas, even areas where there is no place for a helicopter to land and everything takes much longer.Rick Gastonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05136335498532576460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17988908.post-79525330865426894002009-10-23T06:42:07.631-07:002009-10-23T06:42:07.631-07:00I am glad the race directors came to their senses....<br /><br />Go Mr. Johncock!
