Every Second Counts
By Lance Armstrong
Book Description
The five- time Tour de France winner and Number 1 New York Times bestselling author returns with an inspirational account of his recent personal and professional victories - and some failures - and an intimate glimpse into how almost dying taught him to really live.
In the opening of Lance Armstrong's memoir, Every Seconds Counts (co-authored by Sally Jenkins), he reflects: "Generally, one of the hardest things in the world to do is something twice . " while he is talking here about his preparation for what would prove to be his second consecutive Tour de France victory in 2000, the sentiments could equally be applied to the book itself. And just as Armstrong managed to repeat his incredible 1999 tour victory, Every Seconds Counts repeats -- and, in some ways exceeds - the success of his bestselling first memoir, It's Not About the Bike.
