Lance post-op: a turn of the screw

Based on post-op x-rays, Lance's collarbone issue seems way more serious than previously thought. I really hope he can do both Giro and Tour, or else I won't have an excuse to watch TV next summer! If this keeps up, I'll have to start training seriously.

New Swedish women's 100 mile run record

Elisabeth Karlsson (28) finished second overall and set a new Swedish record 23:13:55 for women's 100 mile (161 km) run.

She participated in TEC (Täby Extreme Challenge) 100/75/50/25 mile race last weekend in Täby, a suburb in northern Stockholm.

Due to icy conditions the original complex course plan was replaced with a simple flat 10 km loop. The weather was not too bad considering it was still winter. Temperatures ranged from moderate (day) to cold (night).

Kent Sjölund won the 100 mile competition with 20:17:49.

Lance's first collarbone fracture ever

The crash in Spain caused the first collarbone fracture ever for Lance Armstrong. It's a miracle that it hasn't happened before in his 17 years of pro cycling.

Yes this misfortune will definitely slow Lance down for a while, but I bet he'll be able to start Giro d'Italia in Venice on May 9th. After all he's an expert on comebacks, and I think he really would like to participate in the 100th Giro.

Scott Jurek's alive and running!

Finally we know what Scott Jurek did last winter, after taking a break from blogging.
