Lance Armstrong Foundation, Ironman Announce Partnership

Today, the Lance Armstrong Foundation announces a new partnership with Ironman to help raise more than $1 million for people affected by cancer. Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, champion cyclist and the Foundation’s founder and chairman, will compete as a professional athlete in several Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races including Ironman 70.3 Panama, Memorial Hermann Ironman 70.3 Texas, Ironman 70.3 Florida, Ironman 70.3 Hawaii and Ironman France. Armstrong is racing with the goal of qualifying for the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawai’i, on Oct. 13, 2012, and will be competing as a member of Team LIVESTRONG, which is adding these Ironman and Ironman 70.3 races to its endurance events series designed to raise funds for people affected by cancer.

Awesome news…I can’t wait to see how he does.  Definitely a big LA fan.

It's never too late to become an Ironman

Lew Hollander vs. Hiromu Inada next year…FTW!!

“I like to say we train 24/7. Triathlon requires me to use my whole body, so I can’t neglect any area. But besides my mind, I like my legs best. They come from my mom, and they’ve carried me to three Ironman world championships.” - Chrissie Wellington

Chrissie Wellington to take a break from Ironman

13-0 in Ironman competitions.

I forget that she’s only been a professional for five years…

I sat in front of my computer watching the entire live stream of this event.

The 2011 Ford Ironman World Championship will be broadcast on NBC Sports on December 10, 2011 from 4:30pm to 6:00pm EST. Don’t miss the most epic test of endurance known to man.

It’s always cool to find out when former professional athletes in other sports get into triathlon after their playing days are over.

I just found out that Eric Byrnes is one those those former pro athletes.  He just completed IM Arizona in 10:45 - helping to raise money for the Pat Tillman foundation

He talks about his motivation here

Great example of comradery on a very tough day.
These two chicks are bad ass (and ripped to shreds!).
