Nearly every year some marathon runners have heart attacks, a few
footballers die on the pitch every year.
What is your point?

His family has a history of heart problems so this dick decides to do a 133
mile cycle race without being checked out.

We are constantly told that cycling is the only form of exercise and
that regular cyclists are very fit. Evidently that does not include the
heart, hardly surprising when you look at the riding position: hunched
shoulders, bent forward, shest compressed. All a very unnatural
position for a moving human.

No we are not. At least I am not.

Er, that's only cyclists on racing bikes. I use a mountain bike with
full suspension, a much more natural position. I would never have a
racing bike, most uncomfortable to me.

I'm curious how does one get checked out? Do I go to my GP. I've always
found them very reluctant to just check people out.

The wife's family have a history of heart problems. They have all been
examined, dunno where though.
I should not have used the words "checked out" - yank term.
