This is the first book that I read on my new Sony eBook Reader. Apart from the joy of using the new toy book itself was gripping. I read a biography after a long time. The book is all about enduring pain & not quitting. Lance Armstrong says Pain is temporary but quitting is permanent.
Armstrong talks about the fights, fight with Cancer, fight to win Tour de France races & fight to keep his marriage. He was able to win all the battles because of people around him which he calls Team. He has spelt out very basic and true ingredients of Team Work.
He also defines competition and readiness or preparation. One is ready to win / compete only when one says ‘Ok, Bring it on.’ Since cycling is a sport, he emphasized respecting competitors and acknowledging their achievements. Other interesting area of competition is improving continuously and not just only practicing which sounds a cliche’.
Book sometimes becomes a drag, especially during the race. He won it 5 times, by the end you actually know the route of the tour by heart.
A good read overall. Very motivational.
