Life to me is a series of false limits and my challenge as an athlete is to explore those limits

We each cope differently with the specter of our deaths. Some people deny it. Some pray. Some numb themselves with tequila. I was tempted to do a little of each of those things. But I think we are supposed to try to face it straightforwardly, armed with nothing but courage.

Hey. Pain can last a moment, it can last a day, it can last a week, it can last a long..long time, but it can't last forever and the only thing that can last forever is if you quit.

I figure the faster I pedal, the faster I can retire.

I don't think anybody else from my generation had federal agents standing at their door with a badge and a gun, saying: 'You are going to answer my questions'.

What ever your 100% looks like, give it.

We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.
