Lance Armstrong found a new hobby

One of my favorite sportive superhero’s is Lance Armstrong. After the last tour de france he stopped with competitive cycling, but I couldn’t believe that he wouldn’t take up any other sportive challenges. And it seems that I (we) are right.
On November 5th Lance is going to run the New York City marathon! As a former triathlete (before his proffesional cycling) he has some experience in running, but it will be good to see what he can do. He’s saying that he’s just doing it for fun, but I can’t imagine that a guy like Lance will try to get the best time possible and train like hell. You either have it or you don’t, and he has the will to go! So what could his time be? He probably wants to go below 2:30, but some others are claing that because of is high max VO2 of 83 millimeters per kilogram he is a possible sub 2:10 runner. Well, that’s left to be seen, but it will certainly be interesting to watch Lance run.
If you want to see him run, watch this video and see him win the national championship of 1989 in triathlon.
