Say what you will about the site of the article, but the guy really is interesting. I especially enjoy the quote below from an elite age-grouper
"Carter had immediately resigned from his lifeguard job on Australia’s Gold Coast, sold off his furniture and belongings and borrowed $5,000. He arrived in Leysin with his bicycle, a small bag of clothing and the understanding that Sutton was now in charge of his life...Just outside the town of Martigny, the van abruptly stops. Sutton steps out from the driver’s seat and greets his athletes. He gives simple instructions—run the 26 miles back home. The pace is to be conversational; nobody should be dropped. When the group hits the 6-mile, 3,000-foot climb back to Leysin, it is every man for himself."
You can read the rest of the article here. I have respect for anyone like Carter that sells everything they have to work with this man, it will be interesting to see how this guy turns out.
