Was going out for a short run to clear my mind and see if I could push through some congestion.
Parked at the Gunstock lot and thought I'd check out the Bronco Off-Roadeo impact on the trails. Hadn't gone more than a few hundred meters when I knew I was really off. No oomph, congestion getting worse. Then broke out in a full-body cold sweat and what felt like minor indigestion. Had been heading out Maple and could see the cut over to Birch, right ahead and walked back that way.
Moving slow and feeling a bit off, but not too bad. Drove home, checked in with Beth and took a shower, cause I felt really gross.
Still a bit off, so decided to head to the ER to check things out. Got walked down to an exam room straight away, quick history and blood draw and folks popped out of the woodwork. Hitched up to an EKG, then a minute later the docs in there "Heart attack - you're headed to Concord."
Got there, met in the ER by the cardiologist with consent form for cardiac catheterization before the gurney stopped moving. About 60 (unpleasant) minutes later headed down to the ICU with a stent in in my right coronary artery. 80% blockage.
Sleepless first night, between BP check every few minutes, alarm going off when my breathing rate dropped below what the machine wanted, various pains, etc.
Doing OK now (Tuesday mid-day) - probably going home tomorrow.

Heart attack run GPS log - mostly walking back in.

RV Farm rails - mostly on the mtn bike twisty stuff - found some up and down.
A few mosquitos, not bad if I kept moving.

Chemung trails - did some off trail up top of the ridge heading to the Chocorua overlook - some nice mix of woods.
