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.

Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone.
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.
light limits weight
Too light is when it is out of the rules. There are weight limits in place.
call chicago competing conflict fill fit life looking quit schedule seems training void york
We were looking at the Chicago Marathon, but a conflict arose with the date, and New York seems to fit our schedule better. I've been training some, but I wouldn't call it serious. It's just something to fill a void in my life after I quit competing as a professional cyclist.
