Lance Armstrong's Endurance Tested By Sheryl Crow Concert
September 29, 2005 | Issue 41•39
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
