Seven time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has something new to keep him busy these days and it goes by the name of triathlon. Although the legendary cyclist retired from the professional cycling scene a year back, he admits that he does miss racing on the tracks and in his continued search to excel, he has taken up triathlon, although he is still not ready to call it his new career or anything like that. Armstrong is in Canada to promote his Livestrong line of sporting goods and speaking in front of an audience during the promotional event, he said that he was not looking for a new career but added that he was definitely preparing himself for a triathlon.

Although Armstrong did not comment about whether he would be participating in the Hawaii ironman event that is slated to be held in October, 2012, there were some pretty strong hints in his statements that he would be there. Lance Armstrong said that the event was appealing and interesting and he was exploring how possible it was to do well in the event.

The seven time Tour de France champion failed in his comeback attempt at the 2010 event and last year, he competed in his first triathlon in 22 years when he participated in an event in Utah, where he finished 5th. Armstrong also participated in the World EXTERRA Championships in Maui where he finished 23rd. he even jokingly added that although he did okay, he found it difficult than he had remembered it.

When asked by the audience if he wanted to return to any particular time of his life, Lance Armstrong gleefully stated that he would be glad to relive the moments during his seven winning races at the Tour de France that made him a household name.
