Lance Armstrong's Endurance Tested By Sheryl Crow Concert
September 29, 2005

DALLAS-Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong found his
endurance stretched "almost to the breaking point" last Friday by a
three-hour, 30-song concert presented by his fiancée, pop-folk singer
Sheryl Crow. "It was a pretty tough slog," Armstrong told reporters
after the event, which he was obligated to attend as part of his new
role as Crow's future husband. "I was really straining around 'The
First Cut Is The Deepest'-I don't mind telling you, I just couldn't
catch my breath. When we reached 'All I Wanna Do (Is Have Some Fun),' I
felt like I'd been through that territory about a million times, and I
seriously considered just giving up and collapsing for the first time
in my career." Armstrong, who is revered by millions for fighting
through cancer, antagonism from abusive fans, and steroid-abuse
allegations, would not comment on whether this latest obstacle would
prove too much for him to overcome.
