I've been following him on Strava and saw this run from Saturday... 14 miles at sub 6 pace. Not bad for a 40 year old chubster. Think he can get to 2:4x at the end of an Ironman? That is what he will need to win. http://app.strava.com/runs/7502127 |

Lol that is Juan Pelota and not Lance Armstrong. 1/10 |

I do think he'll win an Ironman, but not in Kona. |

Juan Pelota is LA. |
| Ha |
| ||
|
Pelota means "ball" in Spanish. Get it? |

Also the run is measured in km. Last time I checked LA was American. Highly unlikely that this is him. |

Shouldn't it be "Uno Pelota" then...and what is he doing in Buffalo? |

and what's the BS with one km slow two km fast? That's the way HS girls train... |

Guys, it is well known that this is him. He's Lance Armstrong - he travels all over the place. He even posts his races. Here is the last tri in Texas where he got 7th. http://app.strava.com/runs/6064512 |

It is called "a play on words." Juan Pelota is also the name of the coffee shop in his bike shop in Austin. |

I don't know where you are seeing km. It shows up in miles on mine. I'm not sure what he was doing on the run... maybe 5 min on 5 off? |

Thanks for the link. I was wondering about the details of his "14 mile fartlek workout" he was boasting about on Twitter. |

That's what I said... geez you guys are dense. |

I wasn't trying to correct YOU as much as attempting to clarify the obvious. You couldn't seem to say it in a way that other posters got the meaning. I fixed it for you. also, I wasn't paying attention to the all the posters names since, frankly, I don't care enough to do that with people who don't post with real names or identifiers anyway. Get It? |

Pretty impressive. I know some 2:40ish marathoners that would struggle with that workout. |

What was his leg speed velocity? |
| Damn |

|
I feel like I should quit if one ball runs a faster marathon than me. |

I see his participation as only a good thing for our sport. He's an endurance machine, why would you feel like quitting if a guy who is likely already better than you, and most of this board myself included, beats you? That's like being a high school quarterback and quitting after Junior year because Andrew Luck threw more touchdowns in his Junior year of college than your entire high school campaign. |
