Is Lance Armstrong gearing up for Ironman???

Posted July 6th, 2007 by Trithesport

I have heard rumors that he has been spotted in the pool!!  And there is no secret about him running a marathon and taking it more serious this time.  Would it be awesome to see him hit Ironman with a surprise visit!  Of course I think he would get destroyed.  But it would be a lot cooler to watch than some fat lady who lost 150 pounds!!

Lance is still young, and there is no way that the competitive fire goes out.  I bet he is using the marathon's as training for an Ironman event.  He probably will not turn into an elite/pro, but I suspect that he will enter some Ironman's soon (possibly for charity) and will try to put in some blistering times - if he is capable.

I heard that Chris

I heard that Chris Carmicheal said something about Lance trying an Ironman, but I think if he runs another sub 3 hour marathon Ironman would have to be the next step... How could he live with himself without doing an Ironman with that kind of talent.

Wow, thanks for the comment Bobby

Have you personally heard of any rumors?  I think it would be awesome for the sport.  I wonder with his confidence in himself, ie arrogance, if he would be surprised at the level of competition at Ironman.  In one way it would be great to see him there and do well and in another way it would be cool to see him lose to such great talent on the Ironman circuit

LA in Ironman?

This guy can swim like a fish, run like a deer, and cycle like, well... HIMSELF so I think that if he did the Ironman he would turn some heads.
