I think we have fielded our strongest team ever with this formation,
achieve arrive believe cake came difficult good helped hope hopefully huge icing mentor next plan push taught team top year
So it was a good field, but the most important thing was that the team came up with a very difficult plan for me. Lance helped me a lot and having an idol, a mentor like that to come up with a plan and for me to put the icing on the cake was a huge accomplishment. It taught me that if I believe in myself, I can push my own limits. I hope to achieve that here, next year even more, and hopefully arrive at the top eventually.

I joined the swim team when I was 12, and I was the worst kid in the pool - I was put with a group of 7-year-olds.

team men doctors
The team wasn't just riders. It was the mechanics, masseurs, chefs, soigneurs, and doctors. But the most important man on the team may have been the chiropractor.
basically city parties saying thank
We've always had parties or celebrations on that day. It was just a way to do something for a city that has done a lot of things for me. We're basically saying thank you for all the support.
good ready regroup rest
We were better, ... That's good going into the rest day: regroup and get ready for the big climbs.
age college ride setting
We started out at a very young age setting goals, ... Lance wasn't a follower, he was a leader. All his friends went off to college and Lance said all he wanted to do was ride his bike.
relationship
Where to start? ... This has been a long, love-hate relationship between myself and the French.
