Subject: RE: Armstrong to do triathlons in 2010mattajw - 2009-07-23 2:42 PM Just think....if Armstrong just does one Iron or half Iron what it will do to the sport!!!!!
If Lance does a triathlon it will draw people to the sport; however, how much harm will it do when the couch patatoes of last week decide to try and swim 600m+ across a lake? But if he wants to do them, even a sprint, then that'd be real cool. Hell, I think one of Lance's strong points of his rides is his various backrounds. I didn't know about his tri backround but I remember hearing he had a cyclocross backround which paid off when he "decided" to go offroading in a race. Who knows, maybe triathlons will get up there in popularity with 10ks and 13.1s, and encourage people to get healthy. |
