Headlines for Lance's marathon run

Posted by steve outing on 11/7/2006 on steve outing's blog

Being a once newspaper copy editor, I was interested in seeing how headline writers treated Lance's NY Marathon performance. Here are a few headlines. Enjoy...

  • Lance Armstrong calls race "more than I could chew ..."
  • Armstrong hammered by marathon
  • Achy Armstrong meets goal in marathon debut
  • Lance: I thought it would be easier
  • Lance meets his match
  • Lance takes Manhattan
  • Armstrong pushed to the limit in NYC Marathon
  • For Armstrong, only test is one of endurance
  • Lance Armstrong struggles in NYC Marathon
  • Armstrong's hardest day
  • If marathon is hard for Lance, what's it like for us?
  • Tough day for Lance
  • Armstrong's hardest day
  • Exhausted and Nearly Walking, Armstrong Reaches His Goal
  • New York 'tour' Lance's toughest
  • Lance Armstrong impresses at marathon
  • Armstrong breaks marathon barrier
  • Lance struggles, but makes goal
  • Armstrong pays price for first marathon
  • Armstrong puts pedal to metal
  • Armstrong tours NY in under 3 hours
  • In under three hours, Armstrong learns anew about pain and racing
  • Who needs a bike? Lance Armstrong finishes NYC Marathon in under 3 hours

OK, let's see if I still remember how to write a decent headline. ... My headline would have been:

NYC 26.2: Lance's hardest 3 hours were off the bike

Eh. I'm a bit rusty. :)
