0:00.0	Hey guys, in the pod today, we're going to have a chat with Mark Feldstead of We Love Our Heart and
0:06.4	Steffi, his wife. And we're going to get into something people often don't talk too much about.
0:11.8	We all talk about our personal risk of heart attack, you know, our personal risk to our life or indeed
0:18.1	our death. But some of the major impacts of sudden cardiac death
0:23.6	are actually most suffered by the spouse or partner or family
0:27.3	of the person who has passed.
0:29.5	In an ironic way, the person who's past has gone
0:32.5	and they're kind of out of the equation of suffering, if you will,
0:36.7	that there are myriad people

1:42.3	I left the house about six o'clock with my bike and kissed
1:46.4	Steffie and kissed Emily goodbye. I went off to the competition. As we know, by now, I collapsed
1:53.0	two or three hundred metres in front of the finish line. And Steffi was at home. It was about
1:59.6	nine o'clock. It was getting a bit late. It was getting a bit dark. And Steffi was at home. It was about nine o'clock. It was getting a bit late.
2:01.6	It was getting a bit dark.
