Steve Larsen vs Lance Armstrong. Two pretty good age groupers! Would that get some attention? Cash prize to go go charity of winners choice.
For 5 grand? If Lance were walking down the street and he dropped 5 thousand dollars, it would cost him more to stop and pick it up than it would for him to just keep on walking. He’s a walking advertisement.
I would love to see LA attempt Kona, though. Or any triathlon for that matter.
Lance would outswim him by about 3 minutes (25 min) - outbike him by 1-2 min in 2:05 (save himself for the run) - and then outrun him (about a 1:20). He would crush that distance (half IM) - at Vineman - he’d go about 3:53-4 I think with T’s - he might be able to run a little faster, too…

I had to laugh at the posters and some of the pre-race publicity…
Advertised as “mano-y-mano”, which means literally “hand and hand”…don’t think that is what was meant to be, or even what happened. Tim and Peter, racing hand and hand.
Mano a mano.
At least this thread got it right!

I wouldn’t care, and neither would anyone else, if it got him into the game, while he was still fit, so we could see what he was capable of. Larsen would be a good “nemesis” for this battle of the AG’s. I don’t think Lance dominates the duathlons he goes to so I am not so sure he would dominate Steve quite as you think, unless he peaked for this race, something I think would be unlikely.
