Lance Armstrong Triathlon Bike to Run Transition

Watch Lance Armstrong's triathlon transition from bike to run at Ironman 70.3 Texas

[@gomitch2]

Were his running shoes similar to a "tennis" shoe? They looked kind of flat soled? Curious? Am I mistaken?

[@pedalman]

Wow you are very knowledgeable its good to see that it has reduced from 5% to 3.6% looks like the Armstrong effect is having some results.

[@pedalman]

Ok its down to 3.6% in pro cycling , what does that figure mean ? Is it 3.6% of the pelaton or is it 3.6% of all drugs tests ? It is still a small percentage because many people are saying that every pro cyclist is doping, so with that percentage that is patently not true.

[@steelhitch]

I want to know where he is getting the rims and tyres to withstand this

[@neilcamposo30]

nice transition great lance!

[@quangisgod]

the ending scared the living shit out of me.

[@straatman12345]

so are you to the huma race!

[@Daniac]

RemixBrian is right. There are specialized shoes that you are supposed to wear that don't require you to wear socks. Every second is precious in these races and if that could save him 20-30 seconds he should have done it. Maybe in a Half-Iron race its less important, but in a sprint or olympic its crucial.

[@Mcrisara]

Haha when lance grabbed for his shoes he's like where's the blood transfusion?

[@quemadrespongoaqui]

Todo mundo corre dopado: Ulrich, Beloki, Vinokourov, Contador... LANCE es el mejor, pues los demás también corrían dopados y nunca fueron capaces de emboscarlo...

[@tillman40]

I recall a good video by Greg Lemond who said he saw guys climb the Tour de France mountain stage and not even look winded...EPO...no achievement surprises me with PEDs..

[@kellyfuchs5831]

Soooo....back to the point....was there an official transition time?

[@DiegoTelmo]

its not just doping, he initimates people because he has so much power he can manipulate anyone

[@Hereiam7575]

How do you know for sure Lance doped, or doped for all his triathalons, and similarly, how do we know that you didn't dope?

[@Gingersnap27239]

lance knows what he is doing and you only need it clipped if you are riding

[@pedalman]

How many riders were caught doping in 2012 and 2013 ? The Festina scandal was caught immediately and the whole team was disqualified. Pre Indurain it was mostly a few team individuals, not full teams. Post Indurain EPO was rife ( Armstrong era) They started testing for EPO at the 2000 Olyimpics but it took time to perfect the testing . 2012 and 2013 was probably the cleanest tours since 1998.

[@marcbehm4747]

:57 - "oops! knocked over ma ko-kayyne!"

[@grebrim]

You mean baskets instead of click pedals? That would mean that you'd cycle with your running shoes, which would be disastrous as the sole is too thick and would absorb too much energy.

[@dsdfsdable]

I ran 29:56 for 10Km without doping. I wonder what Lance wounld have done without doping?

[@pedalman]

I did not say doping didnt exsist before Armstrong, if you understood properly I SAID PRE INDURAIN, it was just less prevalent back to 1886 and drugs were a lot less effective. The reason I mentioned recent tours was that the winners won clean in 2012 and 2013 history will prove this even if you cant bring yourself to believe it now. The post Armstrong era has got doping at the front of everyones mind and it might just make riders realise that you will get stripped of victories when caught .

[@epiplp6]

Even with the doping scandal I still have to the give the man (and anyone who competes in full or half Ironman) props. Who in their right mind would say yes, lets do a couple miles OPEN WATER swim, then hop on a bike and do another 112 miles and end with a marathon. For everyone who gives him grief because he was doping, go do that and then tell me you don't see the possible benefit. Seriously, go now. I do triathlons and I still think the Ironman group have to be a little insane.

[@RemixBrian]

dude, y u put socks on in a triathlon transition?

[@gavtris]

Helmet unclipped before racking his bike - not a penalty in WTC?

[@spadam0]

You make it sound as if he is not competing against other people on PED's with all day open to train.. Lance Armstrong doesn't do "pretty well" he is the man.

[@cicirunner]

I meant his transition times are similar

[@Wanjiku82]

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzbin.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

[@FormulaDStock]

Ok trying to stay on topic here, but did anyone notice how he starts off running with his hips flexed?

[@FXDUBOIS]

World Champion in 1992...

[@tribri93]

cos you would run a bare foot half marathon?

[@Areyouduckingserious]

I Capitalize Ever First Letter Of Each Word I Type.

[@mrtrik]

Nope. Once you are off the bike you can unclip and remove it. Racked or not.

[@alanthepartridge]

0:55 Did he knock over some drugs (container with white powder)?

[@wolfesquire]

For all the haters of Lance...please name the last winner of the Tour de France that won without drugs. Thanks...........

[@TrackForField]

hows that? Do you even know what you are talking about.

[@ADuckOnQuack97]

thats itu rules

[@Fevarent]

Just a side note: no drugs are necessary to transit this fast:)

[@00goop27]

Fevarent lol

[@911sareforever]

ok if everyone was doping and he won dont that make him the champion?

[@lefenec]

The champion of doped "athletes"

[@hatspencer]

I'm not an expert on this, but if I remember correctly a racer only gets penalised if he\she rides the bike without helmet. I acted according to this on my last race with no problems.

[@danatkins1827]

shouldnt he have been Dqed for undoing his helmet before racking his bike???

[@TheYumyum414]

your right! its far to dangerous to walk 10 feet without a helmet cliped on!

[@kenshiro882002]

messy! aren't baskets allowed?

[@sockless67]

Everyone in cycling dopes, it's just that most don't get caught.

[@TableTennis-Man]

0:51...took a needle pre-load with drugs and ..hmmm...fast finger indeed....

[@vidfather]

He was off his bike so I presume it was OK.

[@nanitexz]

haha Do you even TRI?

[@julian70uk]

He unclipped his helmet (00:32) before racking his bike. Should have been penalised

[@gavtris]

Ah ok - must be different rules then. Under ITU regs you can't even unclip your helmet until your bike is racked. It's a penalty if you do.

[@cicirunner]

His triathlon times are good compared to the top guys though.

[@TruckerJenkins82]

I am, I don't cheat

[@trilete]

Lance did what he did to win. Despite that, no one can deny he's still a hellava athlete! He betrayed a public trust (and trashed a few people along the way) but the doping and drugging of pro sports has been happening long before Lance came on the scene. And will continue as well.

[@magicmackerel476]

*Every

[@suelee8484]

Lance Armstrong u @re koooooool dude

[@HatredPrime]

don't throw Liestrong and people who compete full or half ironman to one basket

[@tr1freak1]

This should have been a disqualification as he unclipped his helmet before he racked his bike

[@baroh2413]

Actually he isn't. He is in shape. Look up "ötztaler radmarathon" and "Ullrich". watch?v=Q9Nf11zgJ9k

[@benjilaws]

That needs ALOT of work. His transition area is a cluster

[@flynner1997]

that's a oretty bad transition (sitting down like)

[@HaasGrotesk]

What does it matter if the winner dopes or not! I said "The whole sport of cycling is infested with cheaters!" Wether they win or not doesn't matter, but every year someone is caught cheating/doping. Compare that to other sports. Cycling is by far the most doped sport there is! That is proven! You're argument are faulty "This was not the view of cycling before Lance Armstrong" is completely wrong. I gave you plenty of examples, and I can give you more.

[@celsdl]

shoes: check haha understood the joke??

[@TheComeback2life]

LOL

[@VaSpark]

epo cera gh go go go go go go go

[@landondrewes1715]

penalised? whats that? oh penalized? oh okay smart A

[@boobsnexplosions]

Go doping!

[@dudelivestrong]

people do it tho.

[@WhiteShark125]

Proclaiming yourself the bigger man...indeed... like it's even your choice to "let it slip" or not. You're just an economy passenger on the 'hate lance armstrong' bandwagon.

[@GShock112]

Pharmstrong!

[@HaasGrotesk]

It has decreased over the years, and the Armstrong scandal has made the numbers plummet but it's still the most doped sport and that's pretty sad cause I really like cycling. I just don't like it professionally. But as the science moves forward it won't be as easy to dope. I kind of understand why they do it. I mean, if so many in the sport are doping, to even have a chance you have to dope yourself. I believe that's the mentality of people. "if he can then I can".

[@HaasGrotesk]

Testicals

[@netfischer]

blisters are overrated :P

[@awall930]

damn dopers, winning all the events while passing 500 drug tests and all

[@gavtris]

(Rule G.1.a just in case you really care!) ;-)

[@lomparti]

Every single athlete whos on top uses a combination of legal and illegal drugs, they have to, because if they dont somebody else will and they'll be on top.

[@johnnyboy4711]

amazed how people cheer a cheater

[@pedalman]

Yes cycling has had its share of doping over the decades but they were mostly "give it a try" individuals who got caught . Armstrong damaged cycling in a way that all the others put together could not do. That is evident in your last sentence, you are now convinced that there isn't a sport in the world with so many cheaters. This was not the view of cycling before Lance Armstrong.

[@HaasGrotesk]

I'm sorry that your beloved sport isn't what you thought it was but again. You are completely wrong! I don't know where you get your facts from, but it's seem like it might be your ass. What you said is far from the truth! Every sport has doping tests on a professional level, and cycling has 3.6% positive test results following weightlifting at 3%, boxing at 2,9%, triathlon at 2,7% and baseball at 2,5%. This is from a 2013 study! It's 3.6% right now but 2004 it used to be at 5%. Sorry.

[@imuscko]

u wish

[@muffo05]

So if we are talking pieces of shit why dont we way up how much he has raised for cancer research and how much you have. who has done better for the world lance armstrong or you?

[@TruckerJenkins82]

I am stronger than him.

[@chrisjg1]

Gay narration

[@charlesroberts2166]

Will someone please delete this video? Triathlon doesn't need any association with this disgrace of a human being. At one time, I held him up as my hero, & inspiration, & if it had been a one-off doping incident then I would have forgiven that ... but it wasn't!! It was planned, systematic & long-term. THAT I cannot forgive!!

[@gavtris]
