In a video posted on EveryManTri.com, Lance Armstrong's longtime coach Chris Carmichael indicated that the Texan would compete at the 2011 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
Carmichael, speaking in Hawaii before the 2010 World Championships begin on October 10, dropped hints that the 38-year-old seven-time Tour de France winner wouldn't just be entering as an age grouper.
"2011, [Lance Armstrong] will be here. He's super psyched and I think he wants to do more than win his age group," Carmichael said.
