Lance Armstrong
Fun wknd of racing coming up. 12 mile Lake Travis open water relay tomorrow am then @redrockaz’s Four Peaks Urban dirt tri Sunday in Tempe.
I just talked to a close source who will be swimming with LA tomorrow.
Additionally, look for Lance to be at the Maui Xterra Worlds Champs.
He’s aiming to move up from his 5th at US Nats
In!
Anyone know why Tempe?
Do you ever post that is not self promoting? …or contribute?..
Does Lake Travis have enough water left in it for open water swimming?
Is Overend going to do xterra? That would be a cool match up.
Isn’t he like 45 now?
I think mid 50s, but he was something like top 15 in the US nationals this year in mtb Pro class and won the Mt Washington hill climb outright.
Gosh that mans a legend. I think it shows how many technical skills are involved in mtn biking that somebody with his age can still compete in the top ranks.
Don’t know about Overend (who is 56 according to Wiki)
My source told me Lance was in 14 cities in 18 days going in to Ogden and was sick during and after the race.
He’s evidently swimming super strong and knows the bike course well at Maui and is aiming for a higher placing.
Hi Kenney.
Yes, but admittedly not as often as I would like and not often under our corporate account. We did not mean to offend but instead thought those on the forums that race off-road may be interested in keeping up with the happenings within the sport and the continued support of Lance Armstrong. It is very hard to self-promote an event that is a day away. Not too many are able to turn around and race on 24 hours notice.
Sorry to offend and thank you kindly for your support.
I hear he has plantar.
Red Rock, I have done many of your events and they are all extremely well run and top notch.
Thanks for the update. Keep posting and informing. Do what you think is in the best interest of your races and your company because keeping your company and races intact is in our best interest too.
Did not offend…If your putting on a race, you have more knowledge than most and probably have a lot to contribute. Never thougt one could be a corporate account nd another private…Maybe I am the on who needs to apologize. I am to old to even ever text so maybe I just came across wrong. …About Lance, well you are right, there is a segment who wants to know…I’ll pass. My apologies…Lets rack it up to a bad day…However, I like the look of your races…Kenney
Looks like he won…splits?
Here’s a video of Armstrong’s finish:

What a fun idea for a finish line.
He needs to have his kids give him some slip and slide lessons…
Great race and lots of fun for my first offroad tri. Lance looked AWESOME!!
