I was looking for a spot to watch my brother go by in his first Ironman while he was dieing at the hospital.
Omg what happened to him? If you want to share.
They say he didn't fall off of his bike,because he didn't have any scrapes or scratches. So at some point he didn't feel well and got off of his bike and sat down. Someone saw him fall over and a off duty officer, that was helping with traffic, started CPR. He died at the hospital. I was trying to find him with the Ironman app,and looking at Google maps. It got to a point where I thought that the Ironman app wasn't working because his marker wasn't moving,and I was getting frustrated. Had a spot picked out and just as we got there a nurse called me and told me what happened as far as they could explain. Still not sure what exactly happened because I wasn't able to go to that meeting. And now I'm too afraid of bringing it up to those who were. It was just this past year in Madison. He was my older brother and he is the latest. My father, step-dad, one of my best friends, and now my brother. I have lost almost all of my father figures in 5 years. Having a large family is a blessing and a curse.
I send you my compassion...
