As for ignoring his daughter, I'm sure he didn't even see her. After a very hard 5-hour effort, I'm sure a bit of tunnel vision ensued, and all Lance was thinking about was getting to the aid tent for some fluids and a message. Betcha shortly after the video stopped, he gave her a big, sweaty hug.

After one particularly ugly marathon finish, my wife asked if I had seen her leaning out of the grandstand yelling as I approached the finish line, to which I replied, "What grandstand?" At that point there is nothing in the world but crossing the finish line. Honestly, I wonder if some of the posters here have actually ever run a race.[/quote]

Lance looks ok and gives a stranger in the crowd a high five right before he gets passed at the finish. When he sees that he got nipped at the finish, his demeanor totally changes. You can tell he is totally pissed and wants to get out of there. Even with all the crowd noise, you can actually hear his daughter yelling for him after he blows past her.

A decent guy would have been gracious with the guy who past him at the finish and congratulated him. A decent guy would also stop for his daughter and not walk off like a little kid who just found out that he won't get to go out for pizza after the little league game.
