I hear he ran a 1:22 but he doesn't show up in the official results.
How good can he be or could he have been?
Is he still doping (allegedly)?
Should he tri instead?

maybe he missed some mats? Did he kip it?
Now I'm going completely from memory, but didn't he run a marathon in the mid 2:40s? Seems that 1:22 half would not be a stretch for an in shape pro cyclist (he raced just a couple weeks ago for the last time).
I ran the full marathon, and I ran behind him for the first 7 miles until they split. He was definitely there, running at a pretty good pace. He started off slow at 6:30 for the first few miles then picked it up it seems.
His twitter says that he ran 1:22, he's marathon PR is 2:52 I believe.
Maybe he bandited his own race---it was sponsored by Livestrong.
Lance kicked ass in 2007 in NY. And this was off minimal training...

No, he actually put in some decent training for this one. Probably minimal in comparison to what people who do not have his cardio vascular system would need. But, he was getting coaching, doing workouts and real long runs for this one and his last Boston. The first NY he ran with only a 16 miler under his belt. And he was a wreck by the time he finished.

Troll, he is not a doper. Please go away. Thank you.
He tweeted that he ran the race with Joan Benoit Samuelson and finished in 1:22. She did high 1:24. Pretty funny that he bandits his own race. I am sure someone could have splurged for a comped entry.

I thought he still couldn't get his head around a long run for the 2007 race and never cracked 20 miles prior to race day. His effort was a step up from his 2006 preparation, but still didn't sound like a "real" effort. How fast Lance could go is still a big question mark.

It's not my allegation. You're fairly sensitive though.

Hmmm, the sensitive one here is you. You are sensitive to criticism to an an extreme.
