"I've done everything there is to do at the shorter distances" said Lessing. "Its time to move up and from this point forward it will be about trying to win Ironman Hawaii."

Who does that sound like? Should be interesting...

Lessing arguably has a lot of credibility over the long distance. Hasn't he won Nice a couple of times? I haven't read the article, but is he not going for Athens next year?
