Lance to do Hawaii

I don’t know if this is a late April fools joke but…a friend called from Austria and it’s in a newspaper over there.

A German tri site is also reporting it -

www.3athlon.de/news/2005/04/0104_interview_lace_armstrong.php

www.kleine.at for the newspaper article (also in German)

The interview basically says -

He will retire after the TDF take a three week break and then train for Kona. In Sept he will do a trip to Kona with Tim De Boom. He has been swimming and doing some water running. Aim is for top 10 and to see if he likes the event. At a press conference this month he will announce something “big” ie the IM thing. The WTC has apparently confirmed that he has been given a wild card entry, racer number 25.

He’ll be riding a Trek w/ the new Syntace Blackbird aerobar!

Note the name of the author on the 3athlon article. Mary April, posted on April 1st?

Aim is for top 10 and to see if he likes the event? If he enters he will go for 1st place not 2 to10th place.
