Imagine a world class triathlon held in the front yard of one of the most active and outgoing cities in the US. Imagine racing in Lance’s hometown.

Imagine being a part of the first LIVESTRONG Triathlon Team!

I’d love to be on the Livestrong Triteam with the small exception that I live in Maryland. I called the foundation earlier this year looking for Tri gear as I am training for my first Ironman and multiple other tri’s and wanted to support (and flaunt) the foundation while doing so. My father died from lung cancer and two of my closest friends just survived Hodgkins and I am a big supporter. Is there a sattelite team I can join?
would the livestrong team be willing to contribute some reviews of the AVIA Austin Triathlon?

we recently launched a new site to support the endurance race community to help people find, review and share their race experiences.
I’m in and ready to kick cancer in the butt! Let’s go team! LiveSTRONG!
