The Official Lance Armstrong Panama 70.3 Time Prediction Thread

WINNER (tie breaker with other 3:54s was he called win or place too). Judge decision.

Win or place. 3:54

Not really a Lance fanboy but no one has him being the sharp end of the stick…I’d honestly be surprised if he isnt top two. In one of the events he’s going to surprise folks, probably the other two he’ll merely meet expectations. My money is on him doing something special (for him) in the run. Guy is fit, fast and a fierce competitor even in mini golf (or so I hear). I guess we will see soon enough,

I imagine 24:30-2:09:00-1:18:00 with the rest in transitions.

If he is doping again then there will be no stopping him.

If this thread takes flight, can you edit to add what the winning time will be, etc. Just to give some perspective?

I say winner goes 3:53…Lance goes right around 4 hours ± a minute

3:59:30.

Swim :24
Bike 2:05
Run: 1:25

He finished yesterday.

9

3:58, but only because he will stop for a potty break, to help a passing motorist fix a flat, and to kick the shit out of Chuck Norris.

10

4:05 & he will have the #1 bike split at 2:08

.

11

No way he goes sub-4:00 - I can see him going no faster than 4:07 and that is generous. My bet is on 4:20.

S - 25:00 (based upon 49:12 at Red Liquorice 2.4 mile swim on 4/14/11)
B- 2:14 (25 mph)
R-1:25 (based on 1:22 at Livestrong Half on 2/21/11)
T1 & T2: 3:00

12

Why do we have to do this everytime this guys name comes up?

I thought people on this board had the best interests for triathlon.

13

he will beat Chuck Norris.

14

We do. People with an association of cheating do not help a sport - whether they are innocent or not - its not good for the sport.

I dont usually participate in these threads, but you cant be serious with that bike split? Loads of people on this board can split that and run considerably faster than 1:25 and none are near the caliber of athlete.

I dont love or hate the guy but 2:14?

16

I was trying to see what the course is like, it says challenging. But yeah, if he’s going 25mph it’s a damn hard course.

17

4:02
.

18

I fully expect his split to be in the top three. Even on a challenging course, the likes of Lieto dont split 2:14. Unless I’m underestimating the challenge of that course.

19

i aint close to lances ability and i can throw a 4:20 with 10 hours per week of training.

he goes under 4:05 with ease.
