And he won this one with as much authority as any. No doubt he'll be the favorite if he chooses to race again next year.
I'd like to see him continue. There is something to be said for going out on top. Still, as an athlete, I'd always question how long I could have kept it up. And I guess that would bug me to the point that I couldn't drop out until I lost one. I'm sure the training is grueling, so perhaps he'll opt to get on with his life and leave this chapter behind. What an excellent achievement.
