There you have it. Just do 26 of those back to back,
that’s 2:11:00. How hard can it be.
That should shut anybody up who thinks he could run 2:10. He’s hoping to run one mile in under 5:00. To run 2:10, he’d have to average sub 5.
I still have faith in him 
Does anyone have his phone #? Maybe we can call him and ask/beg him to do Hawaii later this year.
Last fall, after a quick warm-up, I paced him for 10 miles at a 4:50 pace.
Spelling the word ridiculous “rediculous” is ridiculous.

exactly.

you could package up a whole bunch of doping agent and mail it to his hotel room, “Lance’s EPO” written on the front. then he’d have to retire from cycling for sure.
I feel that I’d better wade in here and muddy the waters even more.
here is a quote from runnertriathletenews.com after Mr. Armstrong won the Dirty Du in 2003.(If you live in Texas or New Mexico it’s the best magazine for race schedules by far.)
“I think that it is important to me to contribute to the local scene. This is stuff that I’ll do for the rest of my life. I will only do the Tour for another couple years and then after that I’ll never do it, but these kinds of things I suspect I’ll do hopefully until I’m an old man,” said Armstrong after a come- from-behind win in a time of one hour, 36 minutes and 5 secondsd over the 3 mile run / 12 mile mountain bike / 3 mile run course."
I would love to get my ass handed to me by any of the top pro’s (Mary Uhl passed me like I was standing still last weekend).
My question is why wouldn’t he take over operations of a cycling team. He obviously knows what it takes to win a race and must have a good grasp of the strategy behind it.
Last fall, after a quick warm-up, I paced him for 10 miles at a 4:50 pace.
yeah right…
(i had a watch like that once, too ;-))

Agreed, that Clayton and a few others( Salazar) marathon standouts were bigger men. However, I have had the opportunity to stand in a room with a number of the top marathon runners in the world at a industry receptions at both the Boston and New York City Marathons and almsot all of the top( 2:10 or under guys) are quite small.
In S.Africa, way back when I was running semi-fast, 2:40 or so, I’d start marathons and find myself sticking up like a flagpole, surrounded by guys who came just up to my shoulder… I’m the same build as Clayton, pity about the speed though…
