Lance predictions for the NYC Marathon??
To disable ads, please log-in.
My boy Lance is running his first mary this weekend. Yeah! More Lance news!
Ok, so how do you think he'll do this weekend at the NYC Marathon? In the article in Runner's World he was talking about how fast a runner he is (and I'd kill for half his speed knowing how fast a stud he was in his triathlete days). He's predicting somehere around 2:45. He had admitted to not training very much, although I suspect he's trained a lot more than he's let on. You can't make your marathon debut as Lance Armstrong and not have trained your tail off. What do you think? It will be interesting to see how he does as an endurance runner. Hmmmm..... do you think Vegas is taking wagers???
No pressure, Lance, only the whole world is watching you. No pressure!
Oh yes, my prediction? I think he'll start hurting about mile 20-21 like most people (but pain is not new to him and he has such a high tolerance) but I think he'll run a sub 3 for sure. I'm guessing 2:44.Last edited by Tri Girl; 11-03-2006 at 02:17 PM.

i hear he's been getting really bad shin splins when he's been running 16 miles.
my guess 2:56"Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

He was dead last in his first pro bike race; then he learned and got the hang of it. I'll guess 3:03 for his first marathon.

Boy was I off.
But still under 3 hours. Now here's hoping he does an Ironman. (yeah, right.)
Anyhow, is that time the chip time? I was thinking it probably takes quite a while to get to the start line, right?
