Summary: The Sufferfest - Everybody Hurts EP 8: "Every Victory Counts" w/ Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter-Phinney Davis Phinney and Connie Carpenter-Phinney defined American cycling during the 80's and 90's: he as a dominant sprinter for the breakout American 7-11 squad where he became the second American ever to win a stage of the Tour de France, and she as the first Olympic gold medalist in the women's road race (among other notable wins). In 1999 Davis was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a degenerative disorder of the nervous system. In 2004 Davis and Connie founded the Davis Phinney Foundation to help improve the lives of those affected by Parkinson's. We talk to Davis and Connie about Suffering on the bike, re-defining victory, and living in the moment.
