Lance Returns...

To tris of course.  While I don't think anyone would be surprised he's come back to triathlons,  I was surprised he picked a sprint.  With his super-drive-competitive nature, I expected him to bust out at least a half.  Do you think he'll go long course eventually, or stay short?

His buddy Juan Pelota has been teasing us a bit about this over on Twitter.

Following "his buddy" Juan Pelota has been entertaining. If half of what Lance is posting to that account is true, I'm pretty sure he is coming back to triathlon in a big way and has some big goals.

The rumors are 70.3 Puerto Rico and IM France. Something about a challenging bike course in France over the summer seems pretty appropriate.

I'd be great if he does San Juan 70.3

I thought he was in, for Kona in 2011.

I forget which press conference (it's on youtube) where he talks about racing sprints and olympics in the past as 'fun events' and recall a few xterra races he did with team Discovery.  During that same interview he discusses a return to triathlon and specifically mentioning a few half IM's and finally shooting for Kona in 2011.

If I recall he had won a local Austin tri a few years ago while running 18:xx off the bike for his 5k.  Still a decent runner apparently.

Man, I could see him tearing up IM France. If only to just show...yeah I've ridden around here before.

Agreed. Today Lance tweets "I wonder if that wheel sucker @juanpelota will be taggin along this am. Been windy here and that trigeek never takes a pull. Lame"

Cracked me up! Good cheep entertainment if nothing else!

It is nice to see that LA has a sense of humor.
