I follow the world of competitive triathlon pretty closely, it's a sport that I'm getting more and more involved in. I plan on getting some races in this summer, so in my list of websites that I perv daily is insidetri.com, the website brother to Inside Triathlon magazine. On the front page the other day was an interview with Chris McCormack, an elite iron-distance triathlete (McCormack won the world championship last year in Kona, Hawaii). In the interview the topic turns to Lance Armstrong, and the possibility of him competing in Ironman, and his chances of winning. McCormack says: "I don't see Lance winning Kona. I'd put money on him having a solid war with someone like Chrissie Wellington."
Finally someone with the balls to put Mr. Armstrong in his place.
Don't get my wrong, I have the utmost respect for Armstrong as an athlete, he is incredible, he has done what no other human has, and I admire his cutthroat competitiveness, and I appreciate the attention that he has brought to the sport of cycling in the U.S. But I've had it with people being so enamored by him that they insist he can dominate any sport he puts his mind to, basically kissing his ass.
McCormack keeps it real, Lance might have a shot against a pretty good woman!
(I mean this in the most non-sexist way possible, I don't mean to offend my female readers, all one of you)
Hahaha. That will piss off Lance, which is what fuels him. That comment will fire him up so much. Plus, remember, he used to be triathlete before being a cyclist. Now that he's enraged, I can see him training his ass off and beating everybody.
