Speaking in Australia before the start of the Tour Down Under, Lance Armstrong confirmed what he told Everymantri.com a few months ago in this video...that he plans on racing the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii in 2011 or 2012...at the latest.
"I will be in Kona (the Ironman start and finish town) 15 months after the final Tour (de France) ... if it's 2010, then it will be Kona 2011," Armstrong told AAP.
"If it's 2011, it will be Kona 2012.
"I'm not saying that with any expectation, it will require months and months of getting back into swimming and running.
"But I want to just do it, just for fun - I started in tri's and I've always looked up to those guys."
As you may recall the seven time Tour de France Champion started out his professional sports career as a triathlete.
Armstrong has run a number of sub 3-hour marathons including the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon. In his youth he was also an accomplished swimmer and followed the top Ironman athletes of the day.
"I grew up following and admiring the Big Four, I was here in 1989 when Dave Scott and Mark Allen duked it out until mile 25 and a half (of the marathon)," Armstrong said.
"I was in the follow car, I watched the whole thing - it was unbelievable.
"I come at it from just the perspective of a fan.
"I don't know I could be top three, top five or top 10, but anyway, I want to come and finish."
