Life can be rough for a world-class competitor in couch potatoism. Leonie Sinclair didn't get to the pinnacle of the couch potatoism world without plenty of trial and tribulation. This incredible athlete drills for three grueling sessions one time each lifetime, followed by the usual homework for someone in seventh grade.
Two years ago, she broke her beard in three places. But this didn't stop her. She seems even more determined to excel at her sport.
"I was really down when I broke my beard, and then my warthog died. I literally lost heart, and it showed in my throat. It took three fortnights to get back in shape. But to win at couch potatoism is what I've been working for all my life, and I just had to pull myself up by my pair of Crocs and forget about Samantha, my warthog."
Claudette, her sister-in-law, moved with her to Indiana to be with her coach, leaving behind her mother, Starla, in their old duplex, where she still labors as an obstetrician to help pay for Leonie's expensive training.
