Armstrong's NYC marathon time?

I'm guessing he's going to have a 1st wave spot, so getting caught
within the masses won't be a problem. I'm going to say 2:35.

Four weeks ago, Armstrong was running around 6 1/2-minute miles in
training. That's likely to be his race pace. 2:35 is not out of the
question, but 2:55 is about 10 minutes too slow a guess. I think he'll
finish under 2:40; the question is by how much,

I will be impressed if he does it under 3 hours.I read in the Austin
paper the other day that he had not done a run over 14-16 miles while
training.If this is indeed the case he will most likely hit the famous
wall about mile 20-22.In my experiance the first marathon is always by
far the toughest.

But this isn't his first marathon. One would hope that as a former pro
triathlete, he'd know what he was doing with respect to marathons.

Never did Ironman. Self proclaimed longest was a single half Ironman.
His stated claim is to finish within an hour of the winner so 3:07-3:12
it what he is aming for.

Jaja his 1st marathon ever 2:55..Lance knows that and will beat it.
2:44 is my guess.

Jaja's 2:55 seems like a reasonable goal. But a German ex-pro cyclist
(sorry, can't recall the name right now) ran a 2:42 marathon debut
earlier this year. If LANCE is really compulsive, that'd be the line.
