Breaking records - Lara Haume and the final climb
Lance Armstrong does Alpe d’Huez in 37 minutes. I was more interested in breaking Sheryl Crowe’s record of 1hr 37mins. Sure, she is an aging rocker, but she looks a hell of a lot fitter than I do, and she had to have been coached by Lance. To beat that, and in a triathlon no less, would be an amazing achievement. I had a record to set. Story
