Lance training in Hawaii

It must be nice having the ability to go biking in a warmer climate all year round, and not having to deal with Mother Nature’s winter blend. This is a very timeless picture with the word “Aloha” written in the background and I think it sums up Lance Armstrong as an individual and his career.

It plays on a bit of irony being the meaning from Wikipedia states, “The word aloha derives from the Proto-Polynesian root *alofa. It has descendants in other Polynesian languages, such as the Māori word aroha, also meaning “love.” A folk etymology claims that it derives from a compound of the Hawaiian words alo meaning “presence”, “front”, “face”, or “share”; and ha, meaning “breath of life” or “essence of life.” Although alo does indeed mean “presence” etc., the word for breath is spelled with a macron or kāhako over the a (hā) whereas the word aloha does not have a long a.”

Love for the sport is what has truly driven Lance to become the mythological figure that he has molded into, while holding record after record in the cycling world. Lance Armstrong is indeed the face of this sport and has ultimately changed it for the better. A couple months ago he brought himself back into this world of cycling out of desire, love, passion to ultimately express his fight with cancer have that one last “breath of life”

ALOHA!!!
