You got to love Twitter.

Why?

Because the social network site is great for digging up fun, exiting and breaking news like...a potential TT (time trial) race between 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and Chris Lieto, the second place finisher at last year's Ironman World Championships in Kona.

As you may (or may not) be aware both Armstrong and Lieto are on the big island of Hawaii training.

A few hours ago Armstrong twittered this to Lieto:

"Just passed @chrislieto going the other way. He was hammerin. Hey Chris, a little TT showdown on the Queen K tomorrow?"

And Lieto replied:

"see u on the Queen-K! Will have to be after 8am cause I have to swim first. Flying out mid day. Give me a call."

And Armstrong just replied:

"Queen K Hwy TT Challenge. Tomorrow 9:30am. Start - Waikeloa Beach Dr to Kukio Nui Dr. 14 miles. Full gas. Take it easy on me"

and

"This won't be a twitter ride. First ever "twitter time trial". Love it".

So it looks like we might have a epic Kona Ironman smack down brewing  on the Queen-K tomorrow between two potential Ironman rivals.

Armstrong says he'll race the Ironman World Championships as soon as next year.

Check out Armstrong's TT bike HERE.

Stay tuned tomorrow.

We'll keep you posted if and when this epic race of TT champions goes down.
