My 2 friends and I were on our cool down and had stopped at the 1km marker to wait for another friend. 2 people up the road called for medical help and were holding you up as your legs were giving out. My friends and I ran over and took you from the 2 other people who continued on their way. <br /><br />We tried to hold you up with hopes you would gain your legs back, but instead you appeared to be passing out so we sat you down on the ground and had you lay down. Unfortunately right in the middle of the course as you were pretty dead weight. <br /><br />You were breathing really rapidly and you actually passed out cold after you were already sitting/lying down. For a bit you were in and out. Some other person came by and tried to raise your legs, but you did cramp badly yelling out in pain so one of my friends and I tried to massage your calves. I asked you if you knew where you were, no. If you knew what city you were in, no. Then you passed out again. I tried to wake up up, tapping your face, pinching your arm slightly, nothing. We knew you were breathing so that was good. We wanted to get your gel into you but you were out cold and we didn't know why. <br /><br />A volunteer called for assistance on his phone. Trudy I guess also came over to help once you had passed out to put a jacket under your head as we didn't have anything. <br /><br />Eventually you came to, but were still mighty confused. Medical arrived and took over, we sat you up and you said "oh I am racing" to which I stated that well you were racing and I proceeded to stop your watch. We basically carried you to the truck and lifted you into the front seat as you still didn't have your legs. <br /><br />At that point, medical took over, so my friends and I explained what happened and then left the scene. <br /><br />I am so glad you are okay and it broke our hearts to see you hit 20km and not be able to finish that final km.

Now that I read your story I remember seeing you there, I slowed down but there were already so many people helping you and they were happy because you were just starting to talk to them. I am so glad to hear you are okay. Despite the finish it sounds like you can be certain that all of your hard work paid off, those splits are amazing. I hope you're feeling rested and better as each day goes by. Take care.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775254688394259213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621028330110499689.post-6883790128151045472012-10-09T21:21:24.254-07:002012-10-09T21:21:24.254-07:00Holy crap!
