since Lance's foray into mountain bike racing was pretty successful (ok, lets be honest, very successful - since he probably did not train too much for the race) at the Leadville 100 mountain bike race (he should not feel bad - Floyd Landis lost to the same dude last year) maybe this article means he is training for IM now
Lance Armstrong is back in the non-cycling news again, this time for being the No. 1 residential water
user in Austin, Texas (pop. 710,000). The local paper broke the story and the New York Times made it
national. According to the city records, Armstrong's 1.1-acre Mediterranean-style villa consumed 222,900
gallons in June to generate a water bill of $1,630. The numbers rose with the temperature in July to
330,000 gallons and $2,460. Apparently, property bills are paid by a management company and Lance wasn't
in Austin during those months. When told about the water usage -- it's enough to supply 3 dozen normal
homes for a month -- he said, "I'm a little shocked. There's no justification for using that much water. I need
to fix this." An official for the Austin City Water Authority called this response "very encouraging." To see what
