From Dwight comes news that endurance athlete Jure Robic has died.

He was the completely insane insanely dedicated guy I mentioned earlier this year. Sad, but I can’t really say I’m surprised…

    I’m a little surprised, in the sense that his death doesn’t seem to have anything to do with performance enhancing substances or insane dedication causing himself to push beyond his limits.

    Unless you want to argue that insane dedication covers flying down a narrow unpaved mountain road where you can’t see around the next bend at 50 miles an hour on a bicycle and hitting a car. Which I suppose you could do…
