Bradley Wiggins: My Hour - Wiggins, B.

For 60 minutes this summer, the British public stopped what they
were doing switched on their radios, their TVs, refreshed their
Twitter feeds and followed Bradley Wiggins’s attempt to break one
of sport’s most gruelling records: The Hour. The premise is simple
enough: how far can you cycle in one hour. But it is thought to be
one of the toughest events an athlete can endure, both physically
and psychologically. Eddy Merckx, cycling’s über-champ, called it
the hardest thing he ever did. Wiggins, like many before him,
discovered the unique pain of pushing yourself as hard as you can
for 60 minutes. In this revealing book, Bradley Wiggins takes you
behind the scenes of his record attempt. From planning to
preparation, to training to execution, Bradley shares his thoughts
on his sacrifices, his heroes, and the people who have supported
him along the way as well as what’s to come as he heads towards the
twilight of his stellar career. Supported by stunning photography,
My Hour is a fitting celebration of one of Britain’s best-loved
sportsmen in his finest hour.
