With the tumult of his U.S. Anti Doping Agency proceedings in his rear view mirror, Lance Armstrong returned to the sport that bore him, and did it in classic Lance fashion. Walking to his racked bike at the 34th annual SuperFrog Triathlon Sunday, Armstrong prepped for the race wearing a requested athlete number on his arm: seven.
