She must have been listening to Greg. According to Greg, he would have won every race he ever entered except for:

- bad coaches

- bad teams

- treacherous team members

- the wind and weather (the wind only blew against Greg)

- the course was too short, or too long, too flat, or too hilly

- the weather was too hot or too cold

- defective equipment

- poor health (due to poor treatment from doctor's)


According the former coaches and team members, Greg would have won a few more races if:


- he did not spend his off-season pigging out with ice cream, pizza, and tacos

-he stopped showing up in March twenty pounds overweight

- he knew how to be an effective member of a team

- he avoided "hobbies" such as golf, sking, and hunting with numbskull relatives who confused "a duck" with "a brother-in-law" --- a "brother-in-law" is the chubby guy with pizza stains on his shirt

After retiring from racing, Greg's list of excuses for the races he losts gets "more complex" with age, just as with other "fine whines".


What I admire about Jan Ullrich is that Jan wastes his talent as freely as Greg wasted his...Jan also has never walked away from an "all you can eat buffet", yet Jan never blames anyone except himself when he loses a race.
