Okay, I likely won't be running "with" Lance, but I'm running in NYC Marathon on Sunday "with" Lance. There's a relatively fluffy article on MSN/FoxSports...

I understand the logic--sorta. Last year the commentators stated that the TTT puts the great individual riders who are on weak teams at a big disadvantage in...
I'm with you Kevin. I think the one TTT stage is typically one of the better stages of the TdF, just like the mountain stages and the individual time trials...
It certainly takes some of the strategy out of the Tour on how to build your team. This should get climbers more support in the mountains as you no longer need...
He started out behind me. I had a good line and was able to get ahead. He had to deal with issues in the traffic and was behind me. It wasn't long though...
... Absolutely. The TdF race director has got to help the French riders as much as he can and take down the American ones... this is in his job description,...
... Hmmm. How about the sprints? They try to strike a balance. Some stages favor the climbers or the TT specialists, others the sprinters or the punchers. ...
It felt much nicer than the temps posted below for all of you who chose to stay inside (*cough* Kevin?) I rolled in around 9:32, Stacy was there and Aprille...

I woke up sunday morning for my 5k and my polar s120 heart rate monitor was dead. I'm wondering if the battery is dead or if it's toast. When the battery goes...
The "endurance sport celebrities" were crowed at the three hour mark. Willie Stewart (One-arm Willie - if you don't know who he is, ask Dave C.) was 30 seconds...
After the Tour organizers confirmed that there will be no Team Time Trial in 2007, news is now out that the Tour of Flanders Classic, or the Ronde van...
Many of you know that I am a member of: Fellowship for Christian Athletes-Endurance. Those of you that didn't know, now ya do! Anyway there is a fundraiser...
That baffles me. The Koppenberg and the Muir are the classic climbs of Flanders and they often do determine the race as the Koppenberg did this year. This...
