Legendary Weekend

So I'm not quite sure who really initiated this, but I suspect it's part of Lance's come back to triathlon. A 3 day training weekend for 50 lucky (read very rich) people who can afford spending $25000 to swim, bike and run along (or far behind) Lance Armstrong, Craig Alexander, Chrissie Wellington, Greg Welch, Dave Scott and Jimmy Riccitello. This sounds like a journey in Olympus among Greek Gods.

Want to be part of it? Break the bank here. But you'll also have to submit a "brief expression of interest form" which may or may not qualify you, despite your $$$. Sounds like a dream vacation? Yeah, well, in another life, for me anyway. Have fun!

Ironman pro and not so much

I learned today that Lance Armstrong is going to compete in an Ironman triathlon this year. He didn't say whether it's in a half or a full, but my guess is a full. Here are the news, from the horse's mouth.

In other news, I found out thanks to Steve that there is more than one Ironman organized yearly in Kona and this one, happening just this coming weekend, promises to be a blast. I wish I were there, at least to take pictures. Since the rules are so relaxed, maybe I'll make this one my Ironman goal, haha. I could have a relaxing holiday at the same time, wouldn't that be great?

Here's the link to Steve's post about this "Just for fun" Ironman. Seriously, I'd love to do this one day.
