ARMSTRONG, ARMSTRONG, ARMSTRONG!

GRAHAM WATSON PIC
ONE ARMSTRONG WAS VICTORIOUS THIS WEEK AND IT AINT LANCE. I SAY GIVE IT UP FOR KRISTIN ARMSTRONG, WHO WENT OFF AT THE OLYMPICS TODAY AND WON GOLD FOR THE USA. WATCHING THE KIND OF LAME TV COVERAGE OF THE RACE (AT LEAST THEY HAD SOME COVERAGE) I COULD NOT HELP BUT WONDER HOW SWEET IT WOULD BE TO STAND ON THE PODGE AS AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND TO HAVE WON THE RACE OF TRUTH AGAINST THE CLOCK AND ALL THE OTHER BEST WOMEN RIDERS IN THE WORLD, AND TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH THE SATISFACTION OF KNOWING YOU WERE THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD ON THE DAY IT MATTERED MOST. I GUESS IT WOULD BE ALOT LIKE FINISHING 8TH IN A TOWN SERIES RACE AND THEN CLUTCHING A BAG OF COFFEE OUT OF MID AIR THAT WAS TOSSED AS A RANDOM PRIZE AT THE END OF THE AWARDS CEREMONY...YEAH, IT'S GOT TO BE JUST LIKE THAT, I AM A CHAMPION, WITH NO GOLD, JUST A BAG OF COFFEE.
ON A SIDE NOTE, SOME GUY NAMED CANCELLERA WON THE MEN'S GOLD.
