I don’t know any other sport other than the Iron Man where an athlete has to be better conditioned.

As the Tour de France starts this weekend, check out those guys. Amazing to watch them pedal for hours on end, day in and day out, for 3 weeks...I heard yesterday that some ride as many as 20,000 miles a year...

How could I forget the Tour de France?
I think you got me there. I, your humble servant, concede my point. But I did make exception with the Iron Man, and the Tour de France is that and more.
