I said.’ ‘I don’t understand the question.’ I didn’t do it for the pleasure I did it for the pain.

Nineteen hundred meters up there is completely different from1,900 any place else. There's no air, there's no oxygen. There's no vegetation, there's no life. There's no life. Rocks. Any other climb there's vegetation, grass and trees. Not there on the Ventoux. It's more like the moon than a mountain.
Lance Armstrong
If there is a defining characteristic of a man as opposed to a boy, maybe it's patience.
