Remove All Doubt
Friday, August 1
 
An interesting take on Lance Armstrong:
"'Why do you do it?' I asked him once. 'What's the pleasure in riding a bike up a mountain for six hours?'
'I don't understand the question,' he said.
'Well, there has to be some pleasure in it,' I said. 'I mean, your back hurts, your neck hurts, your butt hurts. What's the payoff?'
'I still don't understand the question.'
I went away baffled -- and convinced that unless I could get him to talk to me on the subject, I'd never understand him. After a couple of days of thought, I realized I'd been asking the entirely wrong question.
'You don't do it for the pleasure,' I said. 'You do it for the pain.'
'That's exactly right,' he said."
