It's another busy race weekend (though, I guess from now until like, December, that's probably going to be the case) and most attention will likely be directed toward St. Croix. Why? Because that's where Lance Armstrong is, racing in the Ironman 70.3 on Sunday.
There's visual proof of Armstrong training! That's him on "The Beast," a 25-percent grade climb on the bike course in St. Croix.
Just rode the bike course here in St. Croix.Dang, that $hit is for real. Hardly a flat section in it. Relentlessly undulating.
