Just hijacking Dusty's thread, as it turns out two of us were in St George's last week - I had a blackout 300 yards into a run last sunday and spent the last week there for various tests, including a milder version of the 'tube in the artery and into the heart' that Dusty had. The cause isn't nailed down yet but I'm having a monitor implanted and 'de-training' (their words) for a while to try and rule out one of the worst case scenarios. If we can rule that out then I'll be back, if not then there might be some tri kit going begging. First come first served!
I wouldn't suggest everyone rush out and have ECGs and MRIs, but if you get a chance to get checked over it's well worth doing.
I have a RoadID but for whatever reason didn't have it with me, so I had no ID on me at all. Fortunately I came round just as some lovely people were pulling off the road to help, but I could easily have been carted off to A&E and my wife at home wouldn't have known for hours. Take some ID with you, folks.
