Lance raced the Miles of DisComfort Mountain Bike Marathon Event at Flat Rock Ranch in Texas this past weekend and apparently the competition was a bit too much. Armstrong dropped out of the (52 mile?) race with 11 miles to go complaining of leg cramps.

The Miles of DisComfort race is just a training ride for Lance as he prepares to (hopefully/actually) compete in the Leadville 100 in Colorado this summer. Maybe some of our ultra endurance mountain bike racers here on singletracks can give Mr. Armstrong some tips 😉
