While I was in Nashville for a walk I heard two gentleman on the other side of the street talkin' about seeing Elvis Presley singin' in a bar last night. They looked really serious - let's discuss this.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain.

aweee aint you cute.

Mr. Born to triathlon ( lame )

Reason i made the post is to see if the locals here in Kona would step up and speak on it ( true or false ).

Your real reason was obviously a personal state of boredom resulting in a lame try of trolling the forum.

Awesome i know the Klitschko brothers.

Say you were in Hamburg having coffee next to Gym of Universum Box-Promotion and you overheard the man next to you say " Hey did you hear Vitali Klitschko was making a come back ". Well you see Frank - Lava Java is where many Triathletes hang out here in Kona. So when I heard that - I wanted to see if there was any truth to it. The guy sounded like he was in the know. verstehen Sie mich

No, Lance will not be having a tilt at the Ironman. He said his reasons were two:

• 7 or 8 TDF victories are enough
• While he could go very fast at Kona, he could not win and besides it would hurt a lot.

Thats all he said, no he was not in Kona when he said it.

Yep. Talked to Lance yesterday. He's aiming for a sub-4 on the bike. Figures he can swim 55, run 3:00.... get the course record.

Yes and Nick Sabban, said he will not be the head coach at Alabama.

Oh, I overheard, Gerald R. Ford, and Sadam at a local bar talking and they said Elvis was still alive. Any Comments.

The point is so what, its all here say till he shows.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

Look, its seven days before big race, I've had no coffee for a freaken week, I hear voices, maybe its Lance, maybe its just my dog suggesting I have a coffee (bitch) - what can I do, Im just a medium for all these voices...

Give me your bikes..... Give me your bikes..... Give me your bikes..... ;^)

Ric

Guess what ? You're wrong.

I think i would trust some guy at Lava Java in Kona, Hawaii who was wearing an Ironman Polo Shirt - whom is good friends w/ the Ultra-Man Champion over some no name ST poser.

I don't trust anyone who lives in Kona and goes to Lava Java, Cruisin Coffee is much better :)

I don't know that I'd trust any rumors I heard from anyone hanging around LavaJava, no matter what he was wearing, unless maybe if it was Frankie Andreau.

Swimfan or just a wannabe?

Frankie? How 'bout Betsy? She was at the Lava Java the other day and she had lots to say...and then Lance pulled the (wireless) plug on the WI-FI.

It's funny you should mention this, even though it hasnt been officialy released yet! Not sure who leaked, but it is something that has been considered. I would expect to see a press release on this in the near future!

Oooh, a reply from the man himself!

As a test, to prove it's really you:

How many TdF's did you win?

I'll wait all night for the answer. PM me if you feel like maintaining your anonymity.

haha i told you all !!!!!

your mom ?

I bet you feel like a tool.

I dont normally respond to message boards but this one I couldnt resist. I was told that this is the biggest and fastest growing triathlon website, so I figured I better see what is new in the world of wetsuits, and tri gear (pretty sure I got the 112 mile TT covered). I dont want to post alot, all I can say is, I cant believe how much you all discuss Tubies vs. clinchers vs. tri-spoke vs. disc vs. deep rim vs. carbon frame vs. aluminum vs. steel vs. titanium vs. Macca (I like his style BTW) vs. Normann vs. runners vs. swimmers vs. M-Dot vs. Non-M-Dot vs. 1/2 IM vs. Full IM vs. cervelo vs. trek vs. QR vs. Litespeed vs. Kuoto vs. HED vs. Zipp vs. RENN vs. Mavic vs. Wheel covers vs. Aero helmets vs. racing flats vs. Jan.......I mean come one people! It's not about the bike!

Total GOLD post there whoever...

But someone said that he wouldn't do it cuase he has won TDF and has nothing to prove.

But why doeshe have to winan Ironmanrace?

Why can't he just do it like he did with the marathon in NY?

Haha this is awesome !

Lance i'm in Kona right now - is it true you're in town ?

Since i busted out the news - can i get an autograph for my 2 yr old :)

How about trusting Lance ?

Hmmmm,.. we have seen a number of other key athletes show up on the boards and forums that we might not have expected, however- LANCE?

Question: Is it true you pulled out of Leadville? Why? And what do you have to say about the latest reports and documentation regarding the doping....ah nevermind- you won't answer anyway other than what is expected.

I am glad you are cancer free, and we would all like to see race drug free and be a champ. You really have been a great speaker for the sport of endurance....if it is you.

dude get real like he needs to or will answer questions.

the fact is he is racing Ironman and the Pro's better be ready.

I agree with whoever said it first, this is the post of the year. how funny

22/M/AZ
Tucson Marathon - December 8, (BQ!)

as Lance calls them fakk all the " Trolls "

this is indeed funny. i feel for all those that made fun of me.

You have a chance in a life time to post respond to Lance Freakin Armstrong and you go and ask him stupid questions " Question: Is it true you pulled out of Leadville? Why? ".

How old are you may i ask please ?

DUDES: I am a "GIRL", I am 37 and "seasoned". I am not drooling. FYI!

i find it amusing that you think its difficult to make a screen-name as "L. Armstrong".

If its him sweet. but you're acting like its a sure thing. I think you need to do the age check question.

ok chick ! if you can't see how dumb the Q was i feel 4 ya

Feel better? Go ahead and drool all you want, but it's not MY "one in a life time moment".

   

check my age ? here let me ask some stupid questions 1st.

drool? i broke the news everyone laughed. lance confirmed.

lol @ " I'M SEASONED " i'm not sure what's funnier you needed to post that or your stupid question.

game over

True discussion of a well know athlete (and his public issues) that has a lot of controversy is appropriate on this forum, especially if he is a suspected poster on ST. Personal bashing that is really unwarranted is just not good form. Thanks for sharing.

did i call you stupid ? i'm sorry i meant to say loser.

like he freakin cares one ounce what you say or think.

go out side and get some fresh air.

i'm done w/ you. i'm in hawaii lookin out my hotel window at the freakin ocean.

retired@32

peace.

This is poor quality but should answer a few question, hopefully it will work, my assistant has been trying to post it for awhile

lol i told you all. that's him in freakin kona.

look at the lava in the background.

GO LANCE !!!!

Oh that settles it!

Listen this will be my last post, I am not trying to stir up any controversy here, and certainly dont want to cause any trouble between people. As you all know I am a very easy going, relaxed, friendly guy who just wants to see everyone get along. If IM is in the future, we will see but if it is I will say this one thing, Normans record is not going to be anywhere close after I am done, and sub 8 is a given!

Looks more like sandstone in the background particularly the top right (similar to that in Texas!). What is being alluded to is the T shirt that states in training for Ironman Hawaii!

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

Are you announcing your race in Hawaii this year? This will be your first Ironman, do you have plans to race in addition to prepare? I know I said to self: Lance seems like he'd do the IM....I am betting it's in the future.

Please understand that if it is you, we get a few real stars here, and a few fakes all the time. Who can tell?

ps.. what about Norman? I didn't know Lance cared so much about other's performances etc...

here she goes again. one post she says its not him the next she writes him a book then ends in a love letter.

are you on any meds ?

Oh GAWD... please tell me you're joking!!!!

Lance is the D.B Cooper of the bike world.

I smell a TROLL!!
This isn't Lance Armstrong.....

i think so too, i mean that's putting a lot on the line saying "normann's record will be no more and sub 8 is a given." and the photo probably one of his training for the NYC marathon. my 12 year old brother could have figured out how to out that phrase on the shirt. not that hard to forge. lance (or whoever you are): yo uare a phoney baloney!

Gee welcome to the forum. Whatever you do please don't read the "kristin armstrong" thread started yesterday as I posted a fairly lengthy piece about the state of yours and your mothers relationship. Thank you.

I'm guessing there will be a news flash out on cyclingnews.com shortly based on this breaking Ironman news here on Slowtwitch. Let me know when this happens.

...so I'm sitting here in LavaJava with my laptop and none other than the Lanceman rolls up in full Discovery kit, followed by some wierd little troll carrying a cardboard cutout of a black and white Orbea Ordu and wearing a "SWIMFAN LIVES" t-shirt. Should I get an autograph? And who's the guy over there in the Ironman polo shirt, anyway?

I would hate to be someone pretending to be Lance on a public forum if the authorities were ever to get involved.
Identity theft is a serious crime nowadays.

Lance,

If this is really you fanatastic, thanks for visiting the forum!

However, I don't think you could win at Kona. You could smash the bike record..... but Macca would catch you on the run. Just my thoughts, no need to reply.

Lance if this is really you, congrats...your email is sooooo revealing, modest and all :P

If it's not Lance do you think he'll have his crony's kill this website? I wonder if Betsy's heard about this yet.

Lance has nothing to prove to anyone.

Stop hatin' just be glad he posted.

No get off the net and go train.

retired@32 in kona.

peace.

Well you are sure in the running for the biggest troll on ST award. So now you're pretending to be LA to boost your own stupid thread.

Certainly there's an effete snob forum somewhere that wants you. Please go.

"you're pretending to be LA to boost your own stupid thread."

in point of fact, this is not JUST3IT, and it is also not lance armstrong. it is another forum poster who did not get the memo (and did not read the FAQ) regarding duplicate user accounts. i have talked to this person and i don't think this will happen again.

i have no idea what lance is training for, and i doubt neither does anyone else on this forum. there is a very good chance lance himself does not know what he is training for, but i suspect he's keeping somewhat fit just in case a particular challenge catches his whimsy.

Dan Empfield
aka Slowman

Bummer, you can only hope that Lance will compete in Ironman. This would be great for our sport.

hey captain of the short bus...now you're saying i'm not just3it and the other romo is saying i'm also lance ? you make perfect sense - 2 p's in a pod.

stop or i'll call the st police on you.

uh...no. re-read his post. he is standing up for you saying you are not trolling by pretending to be lance. he is simply confirming what you were saying, that you were not posting as lance. then slowman goes on to say it was someone else. take a step back, inhale deeply, exhale, and relax. not everyone here is out to get you or call you out.

It's not really Lance? Aw, I wanted to ask him if Cheryl Crow is a freak. Oh well.

"in point of fact. . . . it is...not lance armstrong."

Wow, how incredibly revealing! Was anyone really fooled by the posts this person made?

---

Don

Tri-ing to have fun. Anything else is just a bonus!

Apparently one poster was.
