There was a woman that started with the elite women group and they started about 16-20 minutes ahead of the men. Anyway, this particular woman looked more like a hammer-thrower than a runner, so I guess build isn't everything. The male winner passed Petrova close to the end and Petrova actually looked like she might pass back.ejnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000438610784981330.post-29371202712309967382009-05-26T06:21:41.384-07:002009-05-26T06:21:41.384-07:00I have some vivid memories of this event, a great ...I have some vivid memories of this event, a great race, spectacle and accomplishment for all. The thing that I REALLY like about it is that despite the fact the the Kenyan men have now won 11 years in a row, they are not scorned, jeered and followed by drug testers like some American athletes (cyclists) are in a few European countries. Nome sane? <br /><br />I need to ramp it back up and run another Mary, they hurt SOOOOOOO much. For the record my 95, 96 & 97 times in LA were over an hour slower than this years winning time. <br /><br />I gotta, then, ask this question, what is it that we (white) do better than any other race? ANYTHING positive? <br /><br />And NASCAR doesn't count.KML5https://www.blogger.com/profile/03730481351872493160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000438610784981330.post-17890584091050957352009-05-25T20:31:09.576-07:002009-05-25T20:31:09.576-07:00Maybe.

I did not see that lizard. The rock looks like the jaw bone of a dinosaur. I think the Apache got so pissed at whitey that they'd tie down the soldiers on their back on an ant hill and cut their eye lids off. Or at least that is the propaganda I watched growing up.<br /><br />This Giro leg I'm watching is 15,000 vertical feet at 88 plus degree temps.ejnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000438610784981330.post-58171871468307294082009-05-25T19:17:31.975-07:002009-05-25T19:17:31.975-07:00Is there any wonder that the native tribes had suc...Is there any wonder that the native tribes had such a powerful and deep respect for the spirit of the land?

Really beautiful. I taped Stage 16 of the Giro Italia, The commentators say 3 Category 1 climbs on the route. 12 percent grade at stretches. A guy named Denis Menchov of Rabobank is leading and they keep calling him DENNN NIS. Gee, have these guys ever been to France or Europe in general. Reminds me of the US calling Lyon LYONS. Whats up with that..it would be like Europe coming here and calling it NEW YORKS.ejnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000438610784981330.post-49662903469206753392009-05-25T15:34:07.022-07:002009-05-25T15:34:07.022-07:00Dude, you need both.

I'm thinking of trading my road bike for one of those modified rock-hoppers where you have to hop from one moon rock to another on your back tire. very cool and less dangerous than road biking. also you can listen to tunes while you bike. <br />http://www.livestrong.com/lance-armstrong/video/lance-levi-and-jens/b473e042-e008-49ef-8bff-2602d9d33a92/ejnoreply@blogger.com
