Press Release - Boston Marathon - 1/17/08

特訊：波士頓田徑總會今天宣佈，前美國單車手岩士唐，將會參加2008年度的波士頓馬拉松。曾七度奪得環法單車賽冠軍的他，在2007年度的紐約馬拉松中以大會時間2小時46分43秒完成，順利獲得波士頓馬拉松的入場資格。而岩士唐身處的年齡組(35-39)裡，該項馬拉松的最低入場資格是不高於3小時15分。

岩士唐曾於1993年贏得世界單車錦標賽，包括好幾次的環法單車賽冠軍，卻於1996被診斷出睪丸癌。儘管癌細胞曾一度擴散至肺部和腦部，他最終仍能克服癌魔並歷史性連奪七屆環法單車賽冠軍(1999-2005)。現已退出職業單車的他，隨後在2006、2007年參加紐約馬拉松賽事，分別以2小時59分36秒及2小時46分43秒完成。 岩士唐表示，他會在波士頓為他的基金籌募善款。以他名義成立的基金，將會集中研究預防和治療癌症，以及改善癌病患者的生活。

第112屆波士頓馬拉松將會於2008年4月21日，麻省愛國者日舉行。賽事全長26.2英哩，路程會分為幾點：Hopkinton, Mass.和Boston's Back Bay，於早上10時正式開始。 (michaelyw 譯)....

No PB for him this time in Boston but still ended up a sub 3 on a tough course.  Armstrong finished in 2:50:58 this morning. Consider that his longest LSD since New York City Marathon (November 07) was 14 miles only.  I could tell he was tired and hurting at the last few miles.  But hats off to him after fighting back from cancer.  His next marathon will be NYC again in November.

香港阿松都唔差，踩單車對跑馬拉松可能有幫助。

There had a lot of books about Lance Armstrong in Page One book store, but most of them is about Tour De France. Lance is a superman coz he continous won TDF for 7 years (1999~2005), especially after big treatment for cancer

No la CHing. I have read one of the many books about Lance Armstrong and learned that he already was a tri-athlete as young as 1X yrs old (I can't recall correctly, but should be before 15 yrs old). He was good at that and actually won quite a lot of tri-athlete competition in Texas (where he's from) despite his main competitors were adults. Talent and love for the sports aside, one of the reasons why he entered so many competitions was to win and get the money for his family, basically he and his mother who divorced more than twice. So he is really a very very completed athlete.

For interested CHings, I could try to find the name of the book which is beautifully written. You will be touched when you learned how many times he was hit by trucks in when practising in the highways........unreal

佢一路都無話識游水。所以玩唔到三項。

又或者佢游水好普通，所以咪無玩三項鐵人囉.......

佢點解唔參加 三項鐵人

Another famous Armstrong ran Boston today too and finished 3:59.  That would be Kristin (Lance's ex-wife).  Wonder who was watching the Armstrong kids?  Ashley Olsen?

多謝Ivrunner兄 ，但想問為甚麼好似以他做主角？

慢子兄,

Lance Armstrong is a celebrity in USA.  Becasue he is an American and he ran an American race (even though it is always won by African runners).  Nobody would have thought that he turned into running after retiring from his bike racing days.  And most important, he had testicular cancer and expanded to his brain, we all thought that he was going to die.  But he fought back and now he is cancer free.  If you go into any sporting goods stores in USA, you can find his Nike "Livestrong" running gears everywhere. A lot of people did not believe he could do a sub 3 marathon.  Look at him, he did three now and more to.  He is a superman!!  And of course Americans love their own hero.

If one day Arnold Schwarzenegger decides to run a marathon, he will get the same treatment.
