LANCE ARMSTRONG HAS moved on to more extreme feats of strength since retiring from the cycling.

Yesterday, the Tour de France legend competed in a half Ironman in Texas. The race involved a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride, and 13.1-mile run.

Armstrong was in sixth until the final few feet of the race, when fellow competitor Jordan James sprinted past him in hilarious fashion.

Seventh isn’t too shabby though.
