Lance has never done the Clermont 70.3

It's called "The Intimidator" for a good reason. ITS HARD!!  So hard that you do not hear Lance signing up for this 70.3.  Last years temperatures were in the feels like of 100 - 100F.  Darn hot and humid.  It's bike route is nearly the same route as the "Horrible Hundred" race.  It tore me up last year.  It was the hardest of the 4 races I did last year.  And I have to do to it again in 7 days.

I'm a little scared.  Although you should be a little scared before a 70.3.  You have to "respect the distance."  It's not a full Ironman but at this distance a lot can go horribly wrong if you do not plan right and have a little luck.

My back is hurting really bad and my biking is no where near I want it to be.  My run should be great.  My swimming should be just okay but the bike I am worried about.  It has been hard finding time to get onto the bike. 

I have a few named hills out to get me this weekend.  Lets see if I can handle the old "SugarLoaf", "Buckhill" and "The Wall". 

The temperatures are suppose to be in the low 90s and I hope the wind is non-existent.

One thing is for sure.  I will see no Lance.  Wuss..

Oh, by the way, have you see this.  Show boating cost Lance 6th place by 1 hundredth of a second.  I like how the guy slaps Lance as he passes him.  Then, he completely IGNORES his daughter trying to give them a medal.  DAD!! DAD!! USA Today
