A France runner die in Sahara Ultra marathon

29/03/2007 - Communiqué
Communiqué 29.03.07 at 12H30 GMT

It is with deep sadness that Race Director Patrick Bauer and all the organisation of MARATHON DES SABLES informs you of the death of Bernard Julé from France, N°53, today 29.03.07 at 06H35.

Bernard Julé was found unconscious by his tent-mates at 6H30 this morning. The organisation’s medical team was called immediately and confirmed his death.

Bernard Julé had run a good course from the beginning. He had sought no medical aid and his medical file showed no risk factor.

According to his tent-mates, Bernard had run the 70km long stage well, finishing at 18h30 yesterday. He arrived in very good spirits. At 3H30 this morning he woke up to welcome his mates back to the bivouac.

Patrick Bauer, the organisation and the competitors extend their warmest sympathy to Bernard’s family and friends.

A minute’s silence was held on the bivouac.

為台灣跑友黃金明默哀一分鐘

國道馬拉松意外 首次參賽 選手猝死　３／２５金明的最後一天

轉載自黃金明個人部落格
http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!VfzUdZ2BEQ8xKIpxrcFB

2007/03/26 15:16

第十二屆台北國道馬拉松昨日在風雨中進行，遺憾的是，二十一公里組半程馬拉松的跑者黃金明，在通過十公里處突然倒地；經現場醫護急救並送往馬偕醫院後仍宣告不治。

從事科技業的參賽者黃金明，現年卅二歲，這是他第一次參加馬拉松賽事，也是最後一次。

風雨交加 老手說難度高

昨日國道馬拉松在清晨六時風雨交加的天候下開跑，對跑者而言，強風夾雜雨勢的挑戰難度頗高，就連拿下桂冠的辛巴威高手阿爾貝都直呼：「今天最困難的 是要在風雨中比賽。」據目擊事發經過的謝姓跑友指出，黃金明是在腳部踢到路面某一物體時，包括臉部、右肩部分直接撞到國道旁水泥護欄後倒地不起。

二○○七家樂福國道馬拉松醫療總指揮陳德理表示，意外發生後，醫療小組立即依據緊急救援標準作業程序操作，對跑者進行施救，遺憾的是，黃金明在送往臨近的馬偕醫院急救後，仍然回天乏術。

血糖過高 猝死原因待查

主辦單位中華路跑協會秘書長陳華恆指出，馬偕醫院宣告黃金明是因心肺衰竭死亡，根據院方的說法，死者血液檢查發現血糖過高，目前全案已移送警方處理。

根據路協詢問黃金明的家屬與女友得知，黃金明可能感到身體有些胖，想藉由運動減重，所以最近運動得很勤快，這應是他首次挑戰長距離路跑，由於他沒有任何病史，猝死原因還待調查。黃金明的遺體已送回南投埔里老家，路協會幫忙善後。

另外，跑者在報名參賽時，中華路協已替參賽者投保公共意外險，若黃金明身亡係屬承保範圍，將獲得明台保險公司理賠三百萬元。不過陳華恆指出，若是跑 者因個人疾病導致運動傷害，或因個人體質或因自身心血管之症狀，像是休克、心臟病、糖尿病、熱衰竭、中暑、高山症、癲癇、脫水等，上述之病況則不在理賠範 圍。

這是國內馬拉松史上第二樁選手猝死案例，十一年前，民國八十五年同樣是國道馬拉松，當時參加十公里組的跑者廖信嘉在終點前一百公尺休克，經送醫後不治。

馬偕醫院急診主任張文瀚表示，該名男子約在昨天早上七點十分時在路跑現場倒下，馬偕醫院派駐現場的二名隨隊醫師立刻進行插管等急救處理，但患者當時已無呼吸、心跳。患者七點三十分左右被送抵馬偕醫院急診室，院方持續急救到九點半，沒能成功。

醫師指出，該名年輕男子原本無特殊疾病、也沒有心臟疾病病史，雖檢查顯示有血糖與鉀離子偏高現象，但鉀離子偏高可能是急救後產生現象，目前無法知道猝死原因。

臨床上常見的年輕人猝死多與心臟病、心律不整、心律不整導致的心室頻脈、電解質不平衡（鉀離子偏高）有關。

黃金明女友的感人留言

為什麼 金明 為什麼是你? 你為什麼丟下我不管

2007/03/26 16:59

3/25那天一早4點多起來，我還記得很清楚，你一起床，就說睡得很飽，因為你昨晚九點多就睡了，之後一起到現場，雖然很冷，但你卻跟我說今天狀況不錯， 我想之前參加跑步都沒有這樣說過，應該真的狀況很好吧，5:30集合，6:00起跑，未開跑前天氣雖不好，但至少沒下雨，可是一過6:00，突然下大雨， 就覺得不妙，開始祈求不要再下雨了，幸好雨勢也變小了，但溫度就下降，感覺滿冷的。

我還記得七點多有看到救護車經過，心想怎麼會有人在跑步時要送醫的，但沒想到那個人居然是我交往九年的男朋友。為什麼是你，昨天才跟我一起去看婚紗，你還 說要讓我當個漂亮的新娘，今天我再見到了卻是一副冷冷的屍體，才短短幾個小時，居然就天人永隔了....

我在現場等你，等到8點多，心想你跑得很快，為什麼還沒回來，就走到會場中間，隱約聽到有黃金明的名字，上前詢問，居然叫我要有心理準備，還叫我通知你家人，因為我什麼都不是，沒辦法做主。

到了醫院，就一群醫師圍著我，說什麼有的沒的，重點就是叫我要放棄急救，因為他們已經做了一個半小時的急救，叫我放棄急救，否則痛苦的是你，我不想放棄急 救，但他們又說其實急救半個小時若無效，就沒辦法了，現在做的這些，只是讓你的身體難過，可是我的心卻很痛，你知道嗎?你為什麼這麼沒責任，居然就這樣放 手去了，我連你最後一面都沒看到呢。你怎麼能這麼對我，我知道我對你很兇，我知道我不溫柔，可是你叫我一個人怎麼辦，我從沒想過沒有你的一天，我一直以為 我們可以一直到老，為什麼，為什麼遇到這種事的人是我，我說怎麼過下去，昨天完全睡不著，可是妹妹一直叫我睡，說不定你會來夢中找我。

可是我睡得很淺，可能是這樣，你沒辦法入我夢，是吧?失去你，我真的很痛苦，醫生卻說是心臟衰竭而死，可是你明明就沒有病，為什麼叫我接受這種死法，你親 人都說不解剖，可是我卻想，不是要讓你不好走，而是你明明就很健康，我跟你在一起，我最清楚，你比我都要注重養生，照顧自己，新聞怎麼會說你死於心血管疾 病，一派胡言，我好氣好氣，可是我不是家屬，所以沒有資格說什麼，但我跟你最親的啊，你在想什麼，我看一眼就知道了，但我卻是最沒資格說話，好恨啊！我也 沒要求什麼，我只是想知道你明確的死因，至少讓我知道你怎麼去的，不是嗎?算了，我什麼立場都沒有，金明，我對不起你，若我有阻止你，就不會發生這種事 了，對不起。

為慈善挑戰極限 醫生律師勇闖沙漠

■參加撒哈拉沙漠超級馬拉松賽的各國選手，必須以驚人的體力及耐力，完成243公里的路程。(放大)
■每天皆到湖濱公園做訓練的兩人笑言，比賽時就只會以一套衣服走天下。(放大)
■這15公斤重的裝備，可以讓倪可賢和陳大明在沙漠中活上7天。(放大)
■兩人奇怪的打扮，在做特訓時常常皆會引起公眾的側目。(放大)
撒哈拉沙漠超級馬拉松賽

參賽者：

# 陳大明（51歲） # 倪可賢（53歲） # 出發日期：3月17日傍晚6時30分，先啟程往法國登記 # 比賽開始日期：3月25日 # 全長：243公里

（吉隆坡訊）他們一個是醫生、一個是律師。兩個年齡加起來超過1個世紀的朋友，毅然做出一個大膽的決定，這個決定，讓周圍的人都罵他們“笨蛋”。

倪可賢（53歲）和陳大明（51歲），被旁人說他們是笨蛋，因為他們每人自資逾2萬令吉遠赴世界上最大的沙漠──非洲撒哈拉沙漠，參加“撒哈拉沙漠超級馬拉松賽”！

完成243公里路程

首次踏上沙漠的他們，必須在極度乾旱和缺水的沙漠裡待上7天左右，並以身上僅有的配件，完成243公里的路程。

他們這么做，除了是想挑戰自己的能力及耐力以外，更重要的是，他們希望能協助馬來西亞善終協會籌款。

賽事每年吸引約600人 大馬首次有代表出征

撒哈拉沙漠超級馬拉松賽今年已邁入第22屆。每年的賽事皆會吸引500至600人參賽，而能完成賽事者，一般只有總數的約80％。

陳大明和倪可賢的參賽，也將會是大馬首次有代表出征撒哈拉沙漠超級馬拉松賽。

“亞洲國家比較少人參賽，以往曾參賽的亞洲國家印象中也只有日本和韓國。”

擔心無法適應天氣

雖然全長是243公里，但是主辦單位有規定，參賽者每天都必須抵達大會指定的公里，否則就會被淘汰。而最讓他們擔心的，是無法適應當地的天氣。

“白天那裡的氣溫可以高達50℃，晚上又可以降至0℃，說不擔心肯定是假的。而且我們還蠻擔心會出現脫水的現象，所以一切可以準備的諸如營養濟、維他命等，我們皆有帶去。”

他們也都希望，由於大馬屬赤道國家，在適應沙漠的氣溫方面會比其它國家的選手占優勢。

另一點令他們擔憂的，就是沙漠風暴。

“我們從來都沒有面對過沙漠風暴，也不曉得該如何對此做訓練，所以到時只能見機行事了。”

每天到湖濱公園跑步 年屆50餘笑言未退休

為了應付即將來臨的比賽，他們進行了不少的特訓，除了每天定時到湖濱公園跑步以外，還包括參加鐵人比賽等。

雖然已年屆50余，但是他們兩人皆笑言自己還未退休。

週一至週五，他們皆會在湖濱公園待上2至3個小時左右；每逢週六和週日，他們則會將特訓的時間延長6至7個小時。

其實打從1995年時，陳大明的腦海中就曾經閃過要參加上述的比賽的念頭，但卻因種種因素而遲遲沒有成行。一直到去年決定成行後，他找來了倪可賢為伴，一起報名參加，並在同年的8月展開一系列的訓練。

自言本身超級喜愛戶外運動的他，更是鐵人賽的常客。“鐵人賽是最佳訓練及驗証體力的比賽。而且運動遠比工作容易很多不是嗎。”

“到時若我們無法完成每天指定的公里就會被淘汰，而即使這樣我們依然還必須留在沙漠裡。所以倒不如加把勁走完。”

家人對他的參賽，也沒有多說什么，因為反正他去意已決。

“家人說這么多年來我都沒有成功去到，家人說若阻止我去參賽的話我心裡肯定會郁郁寡歡，所以也都支持我去。”

積極進行訓練 首次參加鐵人賽

倪可賢說，他們即將在來臨的週六先啟程前往主辦國法國報到，爾后再出發前往摩洛哥。

“到時抵達法國的時候，我們也會趁機補足一些我們尚缺少的設備。”

為此他積極進行訓練，今年還首次參加鐵人賽，借此訓練體力。

由於比賽的跫音已近，他們最擔心的是在出發前不小心受傷，那么一切的付出就是前功儘棄了。
特別留意以免受傷

“尤其我們年紀較大的，關節會比較容易受傷，所以我們都會特別留意及加倍小心。”

“最重要的是，我們也希望能喚醒社會大眾運動的重要性。不分種族、年齡、職業，為了自己的健康著想，大家都應該抽出時間做運動，與大自然多接觸。”

“你看，我們兩個老人家都能去挑戰沙漠了，還有什么是做不到的呢。所以公眾更應該勤做運動，確保身心健康。”

包包至少15公斤重 夠讓在沙漠里活7天

如果單從他們身上的裝備看來，就覺得他們好像跑得很輕松似的，那么你就大錯特錯了。

他們倆人身上各自的包包，至少有15公斤重！這可不是蓋的哦。

倪可賢笑笑說，到時出征撒哈拉沙漠所需要的用具，全都在包包裡了。

聽了之後你可能會咋舌。這個看似簡單的包包，裡面所裝的用品，卻能夠讓他們在沙漠裡活上7天。

悉數一數，裡面就包括睡袋、煮食用具、盥洗用具、食物、藥物……另外，他們身上每人也都備有6支1.5公升裝的礦泉水。

“我們每人每天都會被分派6支的礦泉水，這些水就供我們所有的用途，包括飲用、煮食、盥洗、甚至是如廁等等。主辦單位會也提供帳篷。簡單的帳篷裡面什么都沒有，底層也都還是沙。”

不管是自己本身的配件還是主辦單位提供的食水、帳篷等，一切都必須自行攜帶。也因為這樣，他們都儘量尋找小巧、輕便又多用途的必須品，以方便他們行走。

“要帶多少配件在身上主辦單位都沒有限制，但問題在於攜帶的東西越多，就越是增加我們的負擔。一些較特別的裝備大馬是找不到的，所以我們都上網從國外訂回來。”

后記： 2人裝扮怪像“修行者”

采訪當天可算是一個風和日麗的早上。遠遠就把素未某面的兩人給認了出來，就因為他們特別的裝扮。

整個訪問過程是在“半跑半走”的情況下完成。爽朗的兩人就一邊進行特訓，一邊接受訪問。

在湖濱公園晨運的公眾趁他們停下來拍照之際，趕緊上前搭訕，詢問這兩人到底是幹什么來的。

原來天天在公園見到他們的公眾都很好奇，裝扮的這么奇怪的兩人到底是什么來頭，甚至有人誤會兩人是來自國外的“修行者”。

在了解這兩人的來頭後，大家也都紛紛給他們支持和鼓勵，希望他們能夠完成這項比賽。

丹麥“雪人”不畏嚴寒

新華網加德滿都３月８日電（記者章建華陳喬炎）尼泊爾《喜馬拉雅時報》８日報道，丹麥一男子將只穿著靴子、短褲，戴著手套和帽子攀登珠穆朗瑪峰。

維姆‧霍夫被稱為“雪人”，保持著９項耐力紀錄，日前剛創造了光腳在芬蘭北極圈內徒步行走２１公里的紀錄。據稱，維姆‧霍夫有著驚人的耐寒能力，他的個人網站顯示，他可以半裸盤腿坐在冰上冥思。他說，他有從體內調控體膚溫度的能力，以防凍傷。

報道稱，此次維姆‧霍夫會在攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的部分路段只穿短褲，過夜和休息時將穿上保暖服裝，但他“將創造多項世界紀錄”。

維姆‧霍夫將在４名夏爾巴人的幫助下于５月１６日嘗試登頂珠穆朗瑪峰。

去年５月，尼泊爾夏爾巴人向導拉克巴‧塔克聲稱曾在珠穆朗瑪峰頂裸體引起媒體的熱烈討論。

每年４月底和５月是從南坡攀登珠穆朗瑪峰的好季節，那時峰頂的氣溫在零下２５攝氏度至零下３０攝氏度間。２００６年，共有１０名登山者在攀登珠穆朗瑪峰時喪生

　　新華網香港３月４日體育專電（記者葛華）在４日舉行的渣打香港馬拉松賽上，有６千余人向救護站求助，其中有１名參賽者受重傷，目前昏迷不醒。

　　據醫療輔助隊透露，本屆馬拉松賽截至中午１２時半，共有６２４９名參賽者向２２個救護站求助，其中９成都是抽筋，但也有４５５名選手受傷，其中３４名被送

　　往醫院，目前有一位傷者情況嚴重，昏迷不醒，在香港律敦治醫院接受搶救。

　　香港渣打國際馬拉松賽吸引著越來越多國際好手參賽的同時，在當地也吸引著越來越多的馬拉松愛好者。報名參賽者從２００４年的２．５萬人，增至２００５年的３．１萬人；去年參賽人數達到４萬人，但也就是在去年，渣打馬拉松賽全程有４８００多名選手出現抽筋和其他傷病，並有２名選手賽後人事不省，最後１人死亡。而今年的報名參賽者創下歷史新高，達到近４.４萬人。

　　當天的比賽結束後，有許多參賽者批評比賽路線，他們認為西隧那段賽程空氣不流通，給選手帶來很多問題。但賽會籌委會主席高威林表示，賽會已提前加強了西隧的通風系統，賽會並未收到該方面的任何投訴。但他表示，他們會檢討比賽路線的設置安排。

HONG KONG, March 4, 2007 (AFP) - One runner was in critical condition on Sunday after tens of thousands braved steamy conditions and pollution warnings to take part in the annual Hong Kong marathon.

"There is one male patient whose condition is critical," a Hospital Authority spokeswoman told AFP. Five other patients were in a stable or satisfactory condition, she said.

Organising committee chairman William Ko earlier said the male runner was "considered rather serious" but did not have further details. Thirty-four people needed hospital treatment, he added.

A 53-year-old man collapsed and died and about 5,000 needed medical treatment during last year's race, which took place in high levels of pollution.

Ko hit back at one leading expert who warned athletes were risking serious heart problems by running in Hong Kong's notorious smog.

"That to me was a negative approach," he said. "Our positive approach is very simple -- we advised to have better training and better preparation for the race.

"This year the situation was miles better than last year."

Pollution levels hovered at medium to high according to Hong Kong's air pollution index, which green groups have criticised for being out of date.

Relative humidity reached 95 percent in temperatures of about 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit).

A record 43,956 runners entered the 10km, half-marathon and marathon events. Kenyan athletes finished first, second and third in both the men's and women's marathons.

Steven Loruo Kamar won the men's event in 2:17.03 sec and Rose Kembo Nyangacha was the fastest woman in 2:38.19.

Worsening air pollution has become a key political and social issue in the southern Chinese territory bordering Guangdong, one of the mainland's major industrial areas.
