Such an honor to be a part of this film. Thanks, Lionel and the PTO! Can't wait to produce our own one day!

[@gunaseelanm3479]

Lionel gonna crush it !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@luc6741]

I hope that’s a hint haha…would love to see it.

[@SergeyMkrtchyan]

Was that you man "YOU BETTER FUCKING GO LIONEL"? 😂😂

[@chetisbennett]

Did anyone else get chills at 13:35 with Lionel screaming and then crying on the bike? Literally moved my to tears. His intensity is like nothing I’ve ever seen

[@Hurricanehashi]

100%

[@davidkaplan5517]

I did except it seemed a bit staged lol

[@chrisgilligan4968]

@@davidkaplan5517 Everyone reacts in their own ways to pushing their bodies that far into a really dark place. Given his emotional reactions at the finish line in many of his races, I don't think that it seems out of character for him to react that way to an ultra intense workout. No way to be completely sure....but there aren't many people in the world that can suffer as long and as hard as Lionel.

[@watmonlimited6022]

Maybe he’s not crying because of the pain but more because of the dark places some people have to take themselves mentally to reach that level of intensity.

[@davidkaplan5517]

@@chrisgilligan4968 I don’t think the behavior is out of character but he was being filmed it wasn’t organic. I think the documentary in general seemed like it was trying to be a hype video and they were sorta acting the part vs. just it speaking for itself.

[@stephenmaylie5879]

Lionel dropping an “I was born ready for this” in the first 6 seconds is phenomenal….the guy means it when he says he’s willing to die on course to find his limits, cannot wait to watch, best personality in the sport, hands down.

[@amblincork]

That statement by Sanders is blatantly not true - a little hyperbole is fine in sport but silly self promoting statements like are...well silly. Lionel has a tendency to put himself up on a pedestal as somehow being tougher and braver than other athletes - he isnt.

[@fkhan98]

@@amblincork True. That's what makes him Lionel though! Jan Frodeno's comes across as totally cool; "He hasn't beaten me yet and he hasn't gone home on a stretcher"

[@amblincork]

@@fkhan98 I like watching Lionel and always hopes he does well in races and as I said a bit of hyperbole is fine - and Lionel has a sense of dignity totally lacking in Sam Long - but there comes a point when I have to say - ease up on this B'S hyperbole - this is only about sport - albeit professional sport - and Ironman is far from being the most arduous sport - 24 runners died this year in an Ultra marthon in China. And there have been Ironmans where Lionel decided he couldnt even be arsed taking in proper liquid and nutrition !! To be fair , both Lionel and Jan walked a great portion of marathons where they had difficulties and they finished which shows a great deal of respect to their sport and says a lot of good things about both of them as persons...I better stop now before I start praising them too much !!

[@loganseaburg8041]

This was such a well produced documentary and was honestly one of the best things I’ve watched

[@elenenna9836]

I'm in love with Lionel Sanders! His running style. The grit of his teeth on the run. Shirt half open. He's phenomenal!

[@matthewbenton11]

Clicked saved later to watch it on my down time tomorrow. Accidentally watched the whole thing instead.

[@2Calam]

Lionel and Kienle are my two all-time favourites for sure. That little section of their messages to each other was awesome.

[@adamd9418]

Normally I'm not a fan of explicit language, but the passion Lionel shows in his response at 22:50 is simply inspiring! That kind of passion is remarakble.

[@nowhere2hide648]

23:16 I was dying laughing at Lionel’s intensity. It’s funny and motivating at the same time how competitive and intense he is lol.

[@debtraccarella1131]

Loved this video!!! It was awesome to get more glimpses of how these amazing athletes train.

[@janatlmb2770]

2nd place, Lionel, amazing. He is such a fighter. Great inspiration, Thanks so much, man.

[@cameronmueller]

This was super motivating, amazing documentary. thank you!

That is some pretty inspirational stuff right here. Loved it!

[@jfloresdrums]

Here I am, a new father struggling to find my motivation again to get back in shape after having gained a whopping 15lbs in a year and feeling hopeless and this came across my KZbin! Damn this is motivating!

[@edderepa9685]

Go for it mate!

[@remarcableggwp]

You have no idea where this is gonna take you mate. Go for it.

[@yijuntey]

This was such an inspirational documentary and the quality was amazing. As someone who aspires to be like any one of those athletes mentioned in the video, I really enjoyed watching this and will come back to this many more times in the future. I hope one day I can be in one of those races too.

[@bryguenther]

Excellent documentary, can't wait to watch some of these pros in person at St. George 70.3 world championship in Sept.

[@Anza_34832]

Gotta say, love Sebastian! German precision engine. Incredible, how he got Lionel furious.

I am so pump up!!! Great video!

[@UGAHobnailBoot]

FABULOUS DOCUMENTARY PERIOD

[@colmsheahan6991]

Thought this was going to be another unrealistic documentary about how triathletes train all three disciplines all day long! Started off that way but thoroughly enjoyed the the back and forth between the athletes. Triathlon certainly needs it. Good watch

[@Gu7ller]

I was born ready for this, can’t imagine any better introduction

[@The-Rain-Ninja]

Wow so cool. So much dedication. I love watching people trying to reach their best. Fun. I think people need to put equal effort in any accomplishment. I once won a 3k race. First ever. Thought I would feel amazing winning. I enjoyed the race, but not the win. It was pushing myself to get better that was the badge of honor. Take away journey journey journey, that is what is the true trophy! Amazing people out there, thanks for inspiring!

A few things are for certain. The sport gets faster, new competitors will catch up with you, and regardless how strong you are the final battle usually takes place in your mind.

Lionel Sanders Need to live and training in altitude, because all the main races are sea level, he can still do heat training in Arizona but the best gains lays on altitude training.

question: has anyone think of another sport to compete with triathlon? like combine, 2 hrs of football, 3 hrs of basketball & 4 hrs of tennis. then make a documentary & call it 'beyond sanity'.
