- Vertical Man
- "Finish vertically not horizontally." Here are the life adventures of Vertical Man, captious triathlete. Training, racing, drumming, musing and ranting. Occasional music, literary or social criticism, product reviews, dinner menus and whatever else I feel like, all viewed from the middle of the pack. I see the world through idiosyncratic, BS-detecting glasses and suffer neither fools nor celebrities very gladly or for very long. I'm frequently opinionated and occasionally profane...or is it the other way around? Of course you know that the views expressed here are mine and mine alone. And as someone once said, I am neither eager to please nor easy to please. If this discombobulates you, feel free to act like a mature adult and click that little 'X' in your screen's upper right corner because you're on the wrong blog, bucko.

I was wondering when that would happen... Things could get interesting if he actually trains to compete in the sport.
i figured so much at some point. but that's cool - i think it will be fun to watch him compete.
a couple weeks back, me and my family had this argument about who is the best athlete ever, and I suggested lance - primarily given that my belief that it would be near impossible to take any other athlete in the world and train them to do what Lance did in his career. my fiance intensely disagreed with this statement, and actually suggested it should go to a baseball player - because they can hit speedballs. my brother in law suggested it go to a football player. then there was the argument that it should be a multi-sport athlete.
that is all to say that I think it will be interesting to see how the (arguably) world's greatest cyclist would come out against the pros in this sport at the Ironman level. Could he win? Can he be a champ here too? Would that make him the best?
and most importantly - would I win this argument?
we shall see....
