The Biggest Losers Are Those Who Care

Cancer Taught Me A Plan For More Purposeful Living, And That In Turn Taught Me How To Train And To Win More Purposefully. It Taught Me That Pain Has A Reason, And That Sometimes The Experience Of Losing Things-whether Health Or A Car Or An Old Sense Of Self-has Its Own Value In The Scheme Of Life. Pain And Loss Are Great Enhancers.

I Wanted To Win The Tour De France. And When I Won It Once, I Wanted To Do It Again, And Again, And Again, It Just Kept Going. So There Wasn't Another Competitive Environment.

I Would Love To Be In A Place, And I May Never Get There, Where I Can Help People. It's Something That I Never Really Cared To Advertise. It Got Advertised. I Still Do It On One-on-one Level Almost Daily.

Me And Running Don’t Always See Eye To Eye. Some Days It Hurts More Than Others. But It Doesn’t Mean I Don’t Do It. I Deal With It And I Keep Running Because Not Everything That Is Good For You, Always Feels Good For You.

The Tour (de France) Is Essentially A Math Problem, A 2,000-mile Race Over Three Weeks That's Sometimes Won By A Margin Of A Minute Or Less. How Do You Propel Yourself Through Space On A Bicycle, Sometimes Steeply Uphill, At A Speed Sustainable For Three Weeks? Every Second Counts.
