My Name is Mark Felstead, 59 Years Old and until 3 years ago I was a very fit triathlete, often taking part in competitions and thinking I was doing everything right for my body and my health.

For most of my adult life I have exercised and trained regularly, I ate what I thought was a healthy diet, I watched my weight, and I did not smoke…

Things were all to change very suddenly on a Wednesday Evening in August 2018…

I left my home with my racing bike to compete in a local duathlon. I kissed my wife and my daughter goodbye, not knowing it was very nearly the last time I would see them…

2hrs later, as I was nearing the finish line, I collapsed…. Sudden Cardiac Arrest, a so-called Widow Maker. Clinically dead on the spot. 

Luckily (oh so luckily!!) two of my fellow competitors were very quick to act and kept me alive (CPR) until the emergency services arrived (they were also Doctors who helped!!).

I woke up 10 days later out of an induced coma… but that is a story for another time.
