    great info related to the physiology and mechanics of the onset of heart failure in our athletic pursuits. does someone on the board recall the most recent death in an open water swim event only? These accidents are only avoidable in a perfect world. The demographics of triathletes and open water swimmers includes a large proportion of 40 - to 60-year olds including me. We typically have good fitness but can be unaware of particular medical issues.
