I played in a golf tournament yesterday that benefits LIVESTRONG. Lance was there, played a few holes, and spoke at the lunch event. It was interesting to hear him talk. He had some good stories ("one ball left" in golf is now the "Lance Armstrong"). He also danced around the topic of this thread and noted his message will need to be delivered in a new way. Basically, the same quote that was noted in the Triathlete interview below. Read the last sentence. Watch out WTC, here comes a LIVESTRONG series. Thoughts?
Can you elaborate on your “attempt to be the fittest 40-year old on the planet”? Does it relate to any specific training/racing goals?
LA: Well, as I was reminded today on my trail run with Derick Williamson and Lance Parker – I am 41. Ha! Spotting these fellas a decade. Nonetheless, I have no intention of sitting still regardless [of] what anybody says. I am not banned from life. Period. I will continue to push myself and push others. There are a lot of other physical challenges out there and I plan on finding them and testing myself and continuing to spread the LIVESTRONG message worldwide. Lastly, there has been considerable interest in a separate “stand alone” series of endurance related events benefiting LIVESTRONG so this is something we are actively exploring. Stay tuned.
