lance

lance armstrong wins the leadville 100 in record time. this is pretty impressive. he beat the old record by 20 something minutes. i wonder if he will make a stop at cross vegas. could he win. i my opinion lance is on his way to becoming an american sports hero. survived illness, check. was humbled by a loss in his sport after come back, check. played hard for his team, check. gaining respect from people not into sport, check. well i'm still not a fan but it was cool to see him win the leadville over a 6 time champ. i am watching though.

  1. dude's a beast. regardless of being a fan or not, you can't help but to be amazed by the man.

  2. yep...Armstrong is definitely one of the greatest athletes of all time. Thorpe, Ali, J.Owens and Armstrong...

    he really impressed me with his team riding. i didn't think he would be willing to play a supporting role.

    i have a feeling that taking 3rd in the tour has motivated him to come back for another and go for the win.

    i think it's kinda crazy too... i mean, he got 3rd!!! he's on the podium and people call that a disappointment..lol...give me 3rd for the TDF any day of the week...just shows what expectation this guy has to live up to.
