O'Grady one-ups PC wristbands

Cobbles_tiny by Koppenberg on Comment 10 comments

I got a good chuckle out of the PC's "I support the Chinese Wristband Industry" marketing bracelets.

But Stuart O'Grady and CSC came up with a better one.

http://velonews.com/tour2007/details/articles/12785.0.html

He had black wristbands made with the inscription "Harden the Fuck Up." I'd buy one of those, even if I am a big Yank softie.

That is a wristband that I can support.
Jens should have them from wrist to elbow. On both arms.

Jens! don't need no stinking wristband
he is the walking, talking, cycling embodiment of that logo.

It amuses me
in a very respectful way, of course, to think of this wristband next to his current hospital ID.

I want one of those!
Should we order up a batch, and send the proceeds to some charity that team CSC supports?

I'm wondering
If O'Grady has any ribs left that haven't been broken?

This video is an attempt to show the ambience at the final hour of the Nice Ironman competition. A lame attempt i'll admit, but wth? If you're ever going to finish towards the end of an ironman, i suggest Nice as the place to do it. The applause and support and general ambience at the end is really remarkable. Dj's, pom-pom girls, people dancing, shouting, dance music blasting ... Some finishers just go on through, others raise their arms or just have a huge smile, one guy did some pushups while the dj counted for him, another did a cartwheel, some ran through with their little kids holding their hands. And this all 8 hours after the winners have finished. When i went out my door to walk over to see the last hour or so of the Ironman, the first thing i saw was a guy across the street, pushing his triathlon bike, head hanging down to his chest, walking with a pronounced. Painful. Slow. Trudge. Medal around his neck. He'd done well. Hope he felt better the next day. Then i got to the promenade and started seeing more of the people who'd finished: one guy asleep on the pavement with his wife by his side in all the raucous noise and confusion and crowds everywhere. Then the medical tent - massages, those heat blanket thingies, oxygen, people limping aorund, Oy! Then every now and then you see a finisher with a medal around their neck who look fresh as a daisy, like they've just had a nice walk in the park. Then finally you get to the finish line ... and that's the video. At the end there's a fireworks display (no one timed their finish to coincide with it this year) and then apparently a few hundred people stayed all night to party on the prom next to the beach until daybreak. I could not do an ironman even if i wanted to, but i'll be there again next year to help welcome the last finishers in.
