Every
Second Counts
by Lance Armstrong
In the opening of Lance Armstrong's memoir, Every Second Counts (co-authored
by Sally Jenkins), he reflects: "Generally, one of the hardest things in
the world to do is something twice." While he is talking here about his
preparation for what would prove to be his second consecutive Tour de France
victory in 2000, the sentiment could equally be applied to the book itself.
And just as Armstrong managed to repeat his incredible 1999 tour victory,
Every Second Counts repeats--and, in some ways exceeds—the success of
his bestselling first memoir, It's Not About the Bike.
Every Second Counts confronts the challenge of moving beyond his cancer
experience, his first Tour victory, and his celebrity status. Few of Armstrong's
readers will ever compete in the Tour de France (though cyclists will relish
Armstrong's detailed recounting of his 2000-2003 tour victories), but all
will relate to his discussions of loss and disappointment in his personal
and professional life since 1999. They will relate to his battles with
petty bureaucracies, like the French court system during the doping scandal
that almost halted his career. And they will especially relate to constant
struggles with work/life balance.
In the face of September 11--which arrives halfway through the narrative
(just before the fifth anniversary of his diagnosis)--Armstrong draws from
his experiences to show that suffering, fear, and death are the essential
human condition. In so openly using his own life to illustrate how to face
this reality, he proves that he truly is a hero--and not just because of
the bike. In Every Second Counts he is to be admired as a human being,
a man who sees every day as a challenge to live richly and well, no matter
what hardships may come. --Patrick O'Kelley - Amazon.com

De France/Tour De Force : A Visual History of the World's Greatest Bicycle
Race
by James Startt, et al
When the Tour de France was first held, it was only six stages long.
Each of those stages, however, was a grueling ultramarathon averaging 400
kilometers for a total Tour length of 2,400 kilometers. The largest margin
of victory in the history of the Tour--2 hours, 48 minutes--comes from
this race. From 1903 to 1999, Tour de France/Tour de Force covers the history
of the world's greatest cycling race in words and pictures. All the great
riders are profiled: Lucien Petit-Breton, "King" Rene Vietto (who never
won), Eddy "the Cannibal" Merckx, Bernard "the Badger" Hinault, Greg LeMond,
Miguel Indurain, and of course, Lance Armstrong. Tour de Force also traces
the event's evolution; for example, Pyrenees climbs were added in 1910,
ensuring that versatile riders would come to dominate. Author James Startt
shares stories of ingenuity (when Francois Faber's chain broke in the last
kilometer of the 1909 Tour, he simply ran his bike across the finish line),
tragedy (Tom Simpson collapsing and dying on the climb up Mont Ventoux
in 1967), and triumph (Lance Armstrong's 1999 Tour victory). Lavishly illustrated,
Tour de France/Tour de Force is essential reading for cyclists and cycling
fans alike. --M. Stein - Amazon.com
