Could L.A. win the IronMan?

I don't know that he could, this article seems to indicate that the author
thinks he could. I personally think he should use his "celebrity" status to
further cycling in general.

From the sounds of his comments, he'd never win, IMO.

I think he should do whatever he wants to do, though.

There was a discussion on the triathlon newsgroup about this during
one recent Tour de France.

It seems that given Lance's time trialing speed, he'd only have to
stay reasonably close in the swim (where the time differences are
fairly minimal) and then run something like 7 minute miles to have won
an olympic-length tri.

Obviously there are a lot of variables to consider, but it's clear
that he'd almost certainly start the run ahead of the field if he was
in "racing shape" when he did a triathlon.

He won at age 13 against older athletes, I don't see why he would not
win now.

Aren't olympic tris still draft legal?

Lance is nothing. He could not win a tri because he has no team to
coast along with.

To quote a /real/ asshole: "Gosh, I'm crushed. I hope you realise that
you're now officially off my xmas list."

Check out his time to climb Mont Ventoux - 58 mins !! Doesn't that say
any thing ?? If he trains for it, he very well can bag it, but then I am
sure he would want to take a break from rigourous training and racing -
i guess...
