The day of the New York City Marathon, Daniel Gottesmann felt hot and thirsty. He had no idea that these were warning signs of something more serious.
During the NYC marathon, New York City firefighter and spectator Ryan Dillon helped a runner who collapsed. After Daniel Gottesmann left the hospital, sought out the man who saved his life.It was an unseasonably warm day for the NYC Marathon this past November, but Daniel Gottesmann had been training 26.2-mile run for three months and he felt confident the heat wouldn't be a problem. As he ran, he began to feel “extremely thirsty.” At mile 11, he collapsed.
“I felt well,” he tells TODAY.com. “I never felt anything like I was feeling during the marathon itself.”“I felt like I’m not getting into my rhythm that I usually get after three or four miles,” he explains. “I felt like I was putting in more effort to keep the pace that I wanted to keep during the run.”
By mile 10, Gottesmann couldn’t remember anything. He just remembers entering Williamsburg, where Dillon and his wife were watching the race outside a bar. They were looking for one of Dillion’s coworkers to run by when someone told Dillon that a runner had collapsed. “He started turning blue and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute, I think he’s choking on something,’” Dillon recalls. “I turn him over to his side and gave him a pat on the back. He throws up and he opened his eyes.”“When I saw him close his eyes and go out, I just started pumping,” Dillon says. “I didn’t have any medical equipment.”
Gottesmann remembers none of this. He does recall waking in an ambulance and wondering what happened. He didn’t have his phone with him so he couldn’t call his wife or anyone to let them know what happened. While she was running, they were at difference paces and she was unaware he collapsed.
