Lance Armstrong to Race at Rev3 Half Full, MACTC Championship I confirmed with the race director a few minutes ago. Ulman Cancer Fun was founded by Doug Ulman now Livestrong CEO. The race will not be USAT sanctioned, but have private insurer. I'm fairly confident after a quick call to USAT that the collegiate championship will be invalidated because the race isnt sanctioned.
Im racing still, because Ive already committed a year to fundraising, and paid for travel and lodging. Were that not the case I wouldnt be.
Hahahahahahah, pick6 lined up at the start shoulder to shoulder with Lance. Get us some pics!!!!
He's racing in the cancer survivor wave, which at least has one other fast person in it, the Wassner twin who is a survivor (who Im guessing didnt develop her cancer due to doping.)
It was hard not to call and cancel everything, as I spent the morning thinking about it. It was hinted at weeks ago, and I almost got enough info ahead of time to cancel before committing to hotel. Yes, I do think financially it will benefit UCF in the short term, and from the financials I see no way Lance gets anything out of this unless UCF is paying him an appearance fee (which Ive asked and havent heard back about). Their pro field wasnt full, but since he's not racing that wave im not sure it will make a difference. A couple of pros who have committed have been outspoken about Lance, so this whole thing will be interesting to say the least.
Ok, way to stick with factual info. As outspoken as you are about this subject if you had any credibility at all you'd be skipping this race and standing up for your convictions.
