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.

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.
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.

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.

There is that...but 'Juan' also sounds like 'One'. So, Juan Pelota is like saying "One Pelota" or One Ball.

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

Don't get all butt hurt dude. You didn't say that in so many words, you implied it. 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?
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.
EPO and HGH are amazing drugs.
