Another death happened in the swimming portion of triathlon yesterday.
The day before, Ironman Will Proceed After Hudson River Is Declared Safe
Now Hudson River swimmer dies during Ironman race
I think the temperature was too high for triathlon.
Undiagnosed heart issues can manifest themselves with fatal consequences during periods of extreme exertion. Athletes are not immune. Please read my article about one very experienced, 40-year old Masters swimmer whose life was restored after suffering cardiac arrest immediately after a swim workout, in the upcoming September/October issue of SWIMMER. More deaths can be avoided if we all take responsibility by getting regular medical check ups, listening to our body, preventing and treating heart conditions and learning CPR.
