I was having coffee w/ a training partner here in Kona today. We busted open the news Inside Triathlon Mag where it stated Lance Armstrong was gearing up to do Ironman. My buddy broke the rumor here last year and got laughed at. He stated he heard the rumor at Lava Java and everyone here called him an idiot - even the board mod.
Then he got banned for sticking up for himself.
Then it comes out in IT - that he is indeed looking to do IM.
I heard Lance was taking up professional cycling again, signed by Astana, and now that they have been banned from the Tour, they will all gear towards Ironman Hawaii this year. Chicken may also be hired by the team depending on his result in Nice.
