Lindsey f-ing rules and it made me wanna train like a madman and eat hard boiled eggs. In fact, I boiled up a dozen while I was watching.<br /><br />Also, something tells me she doesn't drink a whole lot of Red Bull (ie. poison).bob bankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864094410106514440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-9599274837937008972012-04-26T05:34:09.513-06:002012-04-26T05:34:09.513-06:00I just found it absolutely inspiring.

And I'm not even training for anything specific beyond some long mountain bike races.<br /><br />I guess, in the end, I'm actually jealous of her. She gets to train all day, everyday. What could be better than that?<br /><br />here's another thought: does anyone else realize that Redbull sponsors some of the most bitchin' athletes in the world?<br /><br />JJoshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-31550936349473960782012-04-25T10:06:41.405-06:002012-04-25T10:06:41.405-06:00She also says "you can't will yourself to...She also says "you can't will yourself to win", which goes against the horseshit TV announcers spew all the time. She might also cast doubt that you can exceed effort beyond 100% as well.

Either way, they're only hurting themselves by not watching it.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-15472908524395563372012-04-22T08:15:42.395-06:002012-04-22T08:15:42.395-06:00Watching it now.
