Lance Armstrong

Triathletes like to whine in general, similar to sprinters. I do some open water training with triathletes. They are great people, incredibly welcoming and supportive. That being said, they do like to whinge. They aren't quite like (shudder) sprinters, though. If I were 1st and Lance was second, I'd be disappointed if he didn't shake my hand, congratulate me, sing my praises to the world, buy me a car, and set me up with his ex-girlfriend. But was Lance in a tiff over being beat? When people finish a triathlon, sometimes they are thinking about things like breathing, stretching out muscle cramps, and whether they finally pushed the old ticker too far this time. Social niceties are farther down the list of priorities. The newspapers like stories, though.
