Retired racer Steve Larsen dies after collapsing during running
workout

Steve Larsen, probably the only professional who competed and won
major races as a mountain biker, road biker and triathlete, died
Tuesday evening after collapsing during a running workout.

Larsen was 39 and he and his wife Carrie Larsen have five children.

"He was doing a track workout and he collapsed. They did CPR
immediately and an ambulance arrived quickly, but they weren't able to
save him," his friend Michael Nyberg told VeloNews

Another friend of the family confirmed Larsen's death, saying that an
autopsy is pending, but that he apparently suffered a heart attack.

Larsen began racing in the 1980s and was on the Motorola team for
three years in the early 1990s, racing the Giro d'Italia and other
major European events. He then moved into mountain biking, winning the
NORBA National Cross-Country title in 1997 and 2000.

In 2001, he switched to triathlon, qualifying for the Ironman in his
first year in the sport, and finishing ninth at the Hawaii event. He
also competed in XTerra offroad triathlons. He was reportedly the only
American to compete in the world championships for road, mountain
bike, track, cyclocross and triathlon. He was a member of the 1993
U.S. world road championship team that helped Lance Armstrong win his
first world title.

Larsen grew up near Davis, California. For several years he operated a
bike and triathlon shop there, called Steve Larsen's Wheelworks. He
retired from professional racing in 2003 and opened a real estate
agency in Bend, Oregon.

He still competed in triathlons for fun, finishing 70th at the 2008
Ironman World Championships with a time of 9:19:25.

If anyone needed proof that pseudo-environmentalist Michael J.
Vandeman is out of touch with reality, this post is it.

The sick ones are those like you who want to sweep this under the rug,
so that mountain biking can continue killing more people.

Shall we take up a collection?

I'll bet with a nickel each and the number who would contribute we
could buy a whole train!
