The book's moral-spine line. The unwitnessed work — extra session in a deserted gym, extra hill rep at dawn, the second-best night out declined — is what separates a champion from someone who is merely talented.

Energy / personality

Ascetic. Devotional. Lonely. Righteous.

Visual signature

A folded jersey on hotel-room linen beside a stopwatch and a damp towel — the athlete's altar.
