I saw a stat once that midfielders run about 5 miles in a game.

That’s why I played defense.

Exactly, I played right half. Run up to score and run back for defense. That's why it was natural to start doing long distance sports like cycling.

Now, cycling is probably the most demanding sport I ever participated in. 120 miles on the road can be brutal.

I dare not even think about the Iron Man. 110 Miles bike, 26.2 miles run and 3 mile swim? Something like that I don't know for sure.

I used to love it when some of the meat heads on the football team wanted to race me in the mile. They would get smoked. Even the running backs.
