2013: Tri-ing something new

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

An interesting piece here which raises some wider philosophical questions about sport.

Nice speech ... but how would we know everything she says is true?
Just a thought....

Professional sport, best watched from a distance and with a healthy dose of cynicism.

The real stuff is what we do....

Too true. Whilst Armstrong always rang alarm bells (I don't recall him *ever* saying he didn't take drugs, he only ever stated the half-truth that he'd "always tested negative") he had the slick, super-confidence and uber-success that makes us mere mortals go along with the story.

As George Sheehan used to say, the real heroes are at the back of the field, and that's where I'll always go for inspiration. Which is why I love RC so much... extraordinary superheroes without the BS.
