Video of the day: Lance Armstrong rides a very windy Ironman Kona bike course

In this video Lance Armstrong Training partner Jimmy Riccitello, videos Lance as he rides a very windy Kona Ironman World Championship bike course.

Could this be a sign of things to come this October in Kona, Hawaii? We're say...we'll see.

Chrissie Wellington really lets down her hair for a 5K run in Köln, Germany

We know that Chrissie Wellington isn't racing this year but so she's really letting down her hair for much more relaxed look. Do you agree?

Check out this video as the 4X Ironman Champ goes for a 5K run in Köln, Germany.

Not only does she let down her hair, but she also hanging out with a very strange version of Big Bird from Sesame Street.

The German athletes in the video below show that you don't have to be in Kona at the annual underwear run to take running a bit less seriously.

Photo of the day: This is how Lance Armstrong gets his bike to Panama

We're betting that Lance Armstrong doesn't have to worry about the airlines losing his bike on those tricky international flights.

Is this why Lance decided to race Ironman this year?

Just under a year ago Lance Armstrong announced that he would not be racing Kona in 2011 on twitter.

In hopes of changing his mind Ben Greenfield came up with the Top Ten Reasons why the 7-time TdF champ should consider the race. Perhaps, just perhaps, Lance read Ben's list and took it to heart. Or it could be that his first sport was triathlon, and he wants to raise cancer awareness.

But we're going with the Ben's list...which BTW...is below:

 #10: The Chamois Is Thinner. Let's face it, Lance - that thick, bulky chamois lining the underside of your bike shorts may make the daily Tour de France long haul a bit more comfortable, but it ultimately looks like a chunky diaper when you're not on the bike, and us triathletes are all about sexiness over function. So we have a nice, thin, quick-drying chamois you can wear - and as a bonus, it won't leave hemorrhoid-sized cheek chafing after the marathon.

Is Lance Armstrong racing Ironman Panama 70.3 this weekend?

Lance Armstrong just tweeted a link to the Van Halen video above. The video is of course for the classic rock song "Panama"

And speaking of Panama...the Ironman 70.3 race in Panama also happens to be this Sunday. So we can't help but wonder out loud if seven time TdF champ is finally making the jump from off-road (XTERRA) triathlons to the Ironman races.

Time will certainly tell.

Thanks to Brian LePoidevin for this fun news tip.

Feds close 2.5 year doping investigation into Lance Armstrong without filing charges

Lance Armstrong is possibly breathing a sigh of relief today as Federal prosecutors have closed their 2.5 year criminal doping investigation into the seven-time Tour de France champion without filing any charges.

United States Attorney André Birotte Jr. announced in a press release that his office “is closing an investigation into allegations of federal criminal conduct by members and associates of a professional bicycle racing team owned in part by Lance Armstrong.”

The Associated Press is reporting that:

Video: IM World Champion Craig Alexander takes a spill on a Mechanical Bull at CES

This video is a bit of a funny commercial for one of Ironman Champions Craig Alexander's sponsors (Jabra), but on the other hand watching Crowie try to ride a mechanical bull is certainly entertaining.

However, he should probably stick with his day job, and the camera guy (or gal) shooting this video should stick will shooting the main subject of the video...or they might just miss the best part.

Check it out below to see what we mean.

Chrissie Wellington's top tips on how to find your swim, bike & run motivation muse

It can be challenging to get motivated to swim, bike, and run in middle of winter. 

But Chrissie Wellington has some interesting tips in THIS recent story in Britain's Guardian Newspaper.

Of course the one tip that we found especially useful was, "I also have a dog-eared copy of Rudyard Kipling's poem If – and I write lines from it on my water bottles when I race."

In case you are having a hard time finding your triathlon training and racing muse, below is the poem that Chrissie keeps close to her heart. Feel free to write some of the lines on your morning mirror, fridge door, or even your water bottle.

Chrissie Wellington is definitely NOT pregnant

In what must be one of the funniest tweets of the day, Chrissie Wellington recently tweeted that she's not pregnant.

The temporarily retired 4X World Ironman Champion tweeted after she announced her break from Ironman racing HERE, "And no, for those who have asked, or were wondering, i am not pregnant!"

So she's definitely NOT pregnant, but we suspect the real question is with all this new time of her hands, and at least a full year of not racing...will she still be NOT...well you know...at the end of this year?

Just saying Chrissie.....

Lance Armstrong teases racing Kona in 2012

At an appearance at a Canadian Tire outlet today to promote a line of fitness equipment, Lance Armstrong strongly suggested that he has his sights set on the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii this year.

When asked if he would be racing in Hawaii in October Armstrong said, "It’s interesting, it’s appealing," he said. “How possible is it to do well? I don’t know. That’s what I’m exploring."

The seven time Tour de France Champion added when asked if he's preparing for a new triathlon career, "I don’t know if I would say I’m preparing for another career, but I’m definitely preparing for a triathlon."

He went on to point people to his twitter feed when asked about his training and racing goals.

Photo of the Day: Doc Andy Baldwin in Kenya training to be a Masai Warrior

Our friend, doctor, original bachelor, and of course triathlete Andy Baldwin just tweeted this photo with the caption "In Kenya training to be a Masai Warrior."

Doc Andy is in Africa with Team World Vision to help provide clean water for the kids of Africa.

He also makes a pretty damn good Masai Warrior. Don't you agree?
