He will DNF since he will not start. This smells of more Juan Pelota is doing Kona in '09, '10 and '11 crap to me. He won't even show up at the starting line.

Under 4:00 - Whoa. Doubt it. But, last time I predicted a LA time for his 500, I was pretty far off.
It'll be interesting to see if he takes a Lieto approach on the bike, or if he leaves some legs for the run. I think he is capable of running under 1:20 but I guess it'll depend on how hard he works the bike.
That said, I think he needs to work the bike and race off the front and then suffer through the run to better his chances of a high finish. Maybe he'll get some top pros to go with him and blow up, but I doubt they will fall for that.
For what it is worth, I think he COULD take Lieto but wont in this race.

I don't think he could take Lieto... Chris is too strong on the bike and will be close to Lance's time over 90k.
I agree that he needs to blow up the bike and then hold on. It will be interesting to see what happens and his strategy!

He will be so fast that they will quit even having 70.3 races because the standard he will set will beuntouchable.
He will singlehandedly end triathlon as we know it

Chris is certainly no master tactician as has been proven time and time again. Not to sound too harsh but he sort of races like an idiot at times. He may try to hold Lance's wheel and completely cook himself... or he may not.

Just off the bike with the@BontragerLS boys. 115 tough miles. Great kids. They even took it easy on the old man - sorta.

Hold on a minute: Lets say you were training hard as a triathlete...Would you be doing KOM's with a cycling team in Austin 2 days before a 70.3 race???
There is photo's all over my facebook page of Lance riding what seems to be pretty hard and for 115 miles of sub-hilly country. I aint a pro, but it seems to me that Lance didn't go to Panama and I think it's waaaaay to late to head down now. I just a called a buddy in Austin and Lance was around town this morning. I think this whole thread was useless...

Well, FWIW, the race is Sunday, so today is 4 days before the race. 2 days before the race would be Friday.
Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

He also has his own plane... For him goin there would be like driving a couple hours to the race
Re: The Official Lance Armstrong Panama 70.3 Time Prediction Thread [Grant.Reuter]

Winner chicken dinner. I bet he is on the plane on Thursday and while he might be able to eventually beat Chris he won't until he does a couple races. Pacing a triathlon is much different than road racing.

Lame--just answer the post. If you want to flame Lance then start your own post---close to Troll-like behaviour....don't go to the darkside!

Also, Leanda Cave just retweeted some story about Lance possibly being at Panama, followed by "It's on!".
She's travelling now (according to her Twitter), so why couldn't Lance be heading there tomorrow?
Best result: Lance Armstrong, DNS.
If he shows: 3:54:31. Behind Lieto and Amey.

No way he goes sub-4:00 - I can see him going no faster than 4:07 and that is generous. My bet is on 4:20. S - 25:00 (based upon 49:12 at Red Liquorice 2.4 mile swim on 4/14/11)
B- 2:14 (25 mph)
R-1:25 (based on 1:22 at Livestrong Half on 2/21/11)
T1 & T2: 3:00
Good analysis and you'll probably be right but I could definitely see him going sub 4. To wit:
-49 min IM equates to a 23.5 min H-IM....4:05:30
-On that couse with good conditions he does a 2:09----4:00:30
-Transitions.....might be a bit generous---4:01:00
-I think if he needs to he can run 1:23:30.....3:59:30
Again, needs to be good conditions....calm and not so hot.
Of course the real question is how high will he place....
