Lance to race an Ironman



According to Outside Magazine (Lance is featured in the February issue), Lance has confirmed that he will enter an Ironman after he is done with his cycling comeback. And when he does do it, he isn't just showing up. He wants to go as fast as he can. This should be very interesting indeed but we will have to wait for at least a couple of years.

The online article can be found here:

Here is the exact question and response to the Ironman question.

Will you ever do the Ironman? You've got a lot of triathlon fans out their desperate for an answer.

Yeah. Whenever I'm done with this [comeback]. I can unequivocally say yes to that. That's a fact. And I get asked that question every day. I don't know when it was, less than a year ago, that I got some of these Ironman DVDs. I said, Let's see what that's all about. So we've been watching them for the past year. I'm definitely motivated to do an Ironman. We'll go back and I'll be close to 40, but I've swam more in the last three years than before that. And I don't want to just do an Ironman. I don't want to approach it like I approached the marathons. I want to do it as fast as I can.
