Sunday brought mixed results from the marathon. My runner ran and finished and pushed thru the last 10k and I'm proud of her. She was undertrained and I helped her get ready in the last 6 weeks.
The news that 3 runners had a heart attack and died is sad and sobering. The marathon is not at fault, underlying heart disease is the problem. One was 26 years old. We don't have a way to screen people with no symptoms, short of invasive and expensive tests. A doctor on TV said quite often the first sign of heart disease is sudden death. Hopefully, medical science will discover a better way to screen everyone.
