CPR: You dont know till it happens

[skiezo]

I have been CPR cert'ed for over 40 years now. I always get the most current CPR cert when it come out or expires. My union hall has classes once a year.
Never needed it since I left the service as a medic in the Army Rangers in the 80's.
I was on ride on Sunday 10/13/24 doing my fav local 20 mile loop and spotted a jogger pretty far ahead of me. Just enjoying the ride and when I looked up again no jogger. Found it odd as there was no off routes in that section.
When I got to the place I last seen the jogger I seen him on the ground just off the trail. I stopped to check and no heartbeat or breathing. Scared but knowing what to do I started CPR and called 911. Not sure of exact location I had the 911 operator ping my phone. I stayed on with 911 while doing CPR. I seemed like forever but in reality only 4 to 5 mins when another person riding came by.
She in the medical field took over for another couple mins till ambalence showed up.
He was probably around my age,60ish and in solid shape. We left our contact info with the local police. Have not heard the outcome yet but just hoping it turned out well. Traded contact info with the other person offering help.
You just never know when it happens but when it does I know I am able to offer my help..
