The Wall Street Journal agrees...

...who is the world's greatest athlete?



Here's one of my favorite vids of the stud in action winning olympic gold in Athens. He has every gold medal available to the sport (including the world record) and has been among the best in the world for 12 years straight. At 33 years old, he is only just beginning to show signs of fading.

(p.s.: Track and Field took 3 of the top ten spots for the greatest athletes in the world ;)

In other news, I just finished building my new ride for the summer. I took my old, wrecked cyclocross racing bike (crazy sport) and my nice, carbon road bike and blended the two together. I decided to simplify the ride and make it a single-speed, which should be interesting. I took it for a test ride last night and the thing is smokin'.
This will make for some great crosstraining this summer. I just hope I can keep myself away from the races... always tempting.

It was awesome getting to read what you guys have been up too. You guys are on an amazing journey and the Lord will continue to use you guys for his glory.
Just wanted to post here and say hello. Oh, and it seems like alot of the ol St Paul crew is in town for good now, so you guys should stop by sometime for a get together.
Ok enough blogging on my side. Take it easy!
