Every Second Counts

In his mega-bestseller IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE, Lance Armstrong recounted his journey from a diagnosis of testicular cancer, which had spread to his lungs and brain, to a stunning recovery that culminated in his winning the 1999 Tour de France. EVERY SECOND COUNTS addresses the equally daunting challenge of living in the aftermath of this experience. A candid and engrossing writer, Armstrong ranges over his prickly relationship with the French and the ultimately disproved accusations of doping within his Tour de France team, to recent triumphs, including the birth of twin daughters, five years of cancer survival, and his restoration of a Spanish chapel. His mother once said that Armstrong had been battling the odds all his life; this book shows the fruits of those labors.
