It looked like any other summer day. A race in the park on a nice and sunny morning, runners smiling and waiving as they pass the cameras… and then suddenly I see a couple of runners running towards me, waiving and shouting something. They ask to call the ambulance as a runner collapsed just a couple of hundred meters away from here. We call the ambulance but have no idea where we are. It’s the middle of Richmond Park, just by the road somewhere. We’re stopping cars, asking for the name of the road but no one knows it… then a race marshal runs by, calling the ambulance herself – it’s coming. We can hear the ambulance siren and although it probably takes just a couple of minutes to get here it feels like eternity. The ambulance comes and we go home, leaving them to do their job and hoping the runner is alright.
