He is doing the Boston marathon on April 21, which is going to be shown live on versus (I think it starts at noon). Set your DVRs!
Nike has in fact asked if he would wear their shorter running shorts, but he is pretty adamant about running in the longer baggier running shorts.
his shorts are too long… Is that the running version of your seat is too high?
Something him and I agree on…long baggie running shorts all the way.
Marathons… Ugh.
That picture is almost two years old.
Wonder if I should try to stay with him at Boston.

WTC, if your listening… Pay the man what he wants to do the race. It will be worth it.
Roger that.

Bwwwaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaa…what, and grow the sport? Make it more in the public eye? Why do that? Silly…
I could stay with him maybe for the first half mile. :o(

They hired J-Lo for that position, she would be a better fit for the image WTC is seeking.
The Kona bike course record is 4:18 set by Norman Stadler in 2006.
What do you think Lance’s bike split would be?
He could put a world of hurt on the pros on the bike and with a sub 2:50 marathon - it would be very exciting to say the least.

A sub 2:50 marathon would be pretty tough for lance to do off the bike - especially after a decent bike split.
I would love to see him try though!!
He’s looking a lot like a beefy triathlete or someone beggining body building…
Wonder what he is up to?
Geez a good pec shot and the women start drooling LOL

Was he paced on this one too, or did he do it on his own? That is almost metronomic.

Not sure how much it translates, but I imagine he could tell you his pace/mph within seconds on the bike, a little bit of training on the run and he’s probably there.

he was hanging around with Matthew Mic-can-eh-hay (I don’t know the spelling) at that time…they was pumpin iron

mcconaughey. That would be about the time that all the “They’re gay” rumors ran amok?
John
Wow, I just had some naughty thoughts about me, and the non-gay Lance and Matthew!
Ok, back to work…
That was pre NY marathon, in Austin doing a 1 mile test run to see what he could do. Basically, someone who was interviewing him asked him about his run training, and LA said it was sporadic at best. The next question was something like ‘can you run a mile in less than 5 min?’, and LA says something like F*&! yes and did it then and there. That is what I remember of the day…
I believe this past year at the NYC marathon he did it with a much lower profile, no entourage or pace group or anything like that.
A pretty solid effort and I liked the “working man” approach a lot more than all of the fanfare of the year before.
