See you Chatty boss! I’ll miss you at St. G.

[@DamienFinn]

Yo, the fact that you freaking did the ethical thing... Fan for life man. Fan for life.

[@RudyBeltrame]

Lion's post-race talks have become my 4th triathlon discipline for triathlon training, let's call it sport-soul training and it's not really about performance. thanks Lion, for sharing and motivating people

[@theWdog12]

I’ll be running my first Ironman in Chattanooga. Super happy Lionel will be there. Can’t wait for him to zoom past me on the second loop of the bike course

[@shihuachin1990]

One of my best memories was getting passed by Jan in Roth on his way to the WR. Now I get to get passed by Lionel in Chattanooga!

[@apwr]

I like how you said “I had all these excuses” A real champ like yourself strips that away and addresses the real challenges faced during competition. Transparency is key and I’m glad you opened up about it 💯

[@mjtriathloncoaching]

Nice one Lionel - looking forward to doing Copenhagen myself in 2022 🤩

[@darkwanderer1504]

Lionel, you are doing fantastic. You are doing everything right. The mental game is important too. It's not about others. It's abt yourself. Never give up. Rooting for you.

[@Brian-zb1mv]

Stay tuned for Lionel’s new feature challenge ’Stop sucking at cycling’

[@slimpickens8589]

Yes, IM Chattanooga!! Another match up with Sam Long, can't wait to watch this one! Humidity is going to be the biggest challenge in this one.

I just love this videos!!! ... you really understand tactics, feelings and you re live the race in the best way posible!. The footage is amazing, well done Talbot!!

Outstanding performances,Lionel! So inspiring to see you improve. Keep it up, #nolimits

Lionel, you are THE MAN! Very good video. Thank you. Keep going. Keep posting videos. Fingers crossed for Kona Feb 22

[@reviewworthy2365]

Happy to hear you pulled 70.3! LS so smart that you have your own answer to this decision. 3 more Ironman by February 👊👊👊

18:10 When Lionel was where Kienle is in this shot, Talbot smacked Lionel's behind... Talbot, we saw that on the official feed haha You're getting dexterous with your one-handed camera gimbal skills. hahaha :p

[@sebastianaustein6522]

And yet another entertaining video. Thanks for the insights from the collins cup. The official video coverage for the Collins Cup was a bit lacklustre so thanks for sharing the experience from a participant's point of view.

[@frankenscience3553]

if you really want to be the best. You have to keep yourself inspired, and your spirits very high all the time. That will mean, a lot of socializing, training always with at least 2 others, meeting Olympians and the greatest athletes training with them all over the world. And anything else your soul needs to keep inspired.

[@lekcindr]

Enjoy your content man. Good for you and all that swam the proper course. Your videos have reignited my interest in your sport. I do want to say though bro, if you want to improve your run performance, the most bang you'll EVER get for your buck will be moving away from heal striking. Up to you if you choose to believe a recreational athlete or not but I used to be a heal striker and am now on my forefoot and can tell you that you'll hardly be able to believe the difference. It's amazing to me how many elite level athletes are still heal striking. All the best bro. -A new fan

[@webcrawler9782]

I appreciate, you didn't take the shortcut! 💪👍

Hi Lionel, love watching your videos, you are very inspiring.

Saludos desde COSTA RICA. Adoro Lionel Sanders, adoro el Triatlon 🤩😍😍🤘🤘🤘

Sam left the water ~2min behind and finished 2nd. That is the beauty of sport! It is not as predictable as Lionel made it to be in this video.

[@bodhizafa6323]

[@paulsmith1552]

When Eric Langerstom’s dog Flynn broke his camera, Talbot was the first one to step up and get some donations going to help replace the equipment. I don’t know much about cameras but I’m guessing the are quite pricey. Wish we could help talbot. Already bought mech from him. Kona pictures hanging on my walls at home.

[@tasdrouille]

You finally put an aero bottle on your down tube. Getting there :) watts/cda ftw!

Hoping to see Lionel on the course while I race IM Chattanooga!

[@charlesbotensten]

Not gonna lie, after seeing Talbot’s story of swimmers cutting course and no DQ, you really gotta question IM’s standards and livings up to the rules - very disappointing

[@chanzhao3379]

Are pros gonna get paid? Is the race fair? Is the race safe for age groupers? I figured ironman doesn't care. all they care is the sweet sweet entry fee from age groupers.

[@jmw2224]

@@rogerc23 IM Copenhagen. Try to keep up.

[@swimgood3873]

Yup IM don't care. Awful organisation and always has been, re payment, coverage and all round production. Wouldn't surprise me if there was a breakaway for long distance tri in the future.. unless they up their game. Colins Cup was awesome for the sport. Super League triathlon are doing good things. IM needs to wake up.

[@ricecrash5225]

350 watts for 80k. Seriously impressive numbers, especially for a lightweight like Lionel.

[@KetzalSterling]

Lionel, 100% get out on your road bike more often. Ride with the top guys, you'll have some fast group rides right where you live. The intensity will help, as will the riding skills. It's also heaps of fun :)

[@frankenscience3553]

how is the non twitching on the bike going?

[@kayeman001]

don't you think there are some learnings from the loss of your nutrition at the start of the bike at Collins Cup, as well as reduced avail of nutrition in CPH? Perhaps worthy of analysis - about getting enough nutrition, rather than too much, trying to replace all "sweat" nutrients? Can the gut/GI cope with the physical effort you are going through at your intensity and then the quantity of nutrition in your gut and your bodies ability to utilise it all?

[@neon-3467]

I love you Lionel but you got to get your mind right. Confidence is self belief. Confirmation is doing something that you thought you couldn't do. You don't need to screw yourself up by doing 4-5 Ironmans, just remember that you already got what it takes and your day will come. You just got to trust in the process. Stop rushing

What's the Stolen Camera Story?

[@TalbotCoxMedia]

I left my camera in the team Europe lounge at the Collins cup and it went missing. The hotel blames one of the team you’re a bad place but I think it was the hotel staff. Anyways it’s gone :/

[@dedo_rudo]

@@TalbotCoxMedia You can't leave anything unprotected in Slovakia. There are just so many poor people stealing everything they can. I'm from Slovakia and I can tell You it wasn't anyone from any team, it was definitely someone from staff. I could see what kind of people worked for "security" part of staff...

[@mysho6317]

@@TalbotCoxMedia SO sorry to hear because You create GREAT content & present it SO well........and of course, the cost of the camera & all the efforts to work at a foreign venue. Hopefully the Universe will return equal value & opportunities in the near future

[@christoflorenz9059]

looks like it scared the shit out of you biking with gustav... :-))

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

This is why nobody should care too much aout Swim/Bike/Run times in triathlon, and just focus on rankings and how athletes fares with their competition. Triathlon courses are like WMM/Diamond League races.

[@Daveyboyroy]

Hey Lionel just wondering if you've ever tried running on your mid foot?

[@sobrnola]

How does a videographer lose their camera ? Seems sus

[@TalbotCoxMedia]

I did not lose it it was stolen out of the team European lobby at the Collins cup. Filed a police report and everything. :/

[@Kittendoc]

We need another diet video! Day in the life!

[@pitti2602]

Hi Lionel! Create video! Create of you to share your thoughts. One recommendation: get a little bit more in touch with other triathletes or get a mentor. There are some things like the current speed in a river or nutrition at the end of the marathon (coke&water), that one expects someone with your performance to know. And I bet there are a lot more things an amateur like me isn't even aware of. All the best for the season finals!

[@wrxzboost]

collins cup was overrated, their coverage was mediocre at best and just fell flat. didn't care for the 3 person format, 12 small races where some of those races got little attention. personally, i think your YT content does more for the sport that this overhyped event does.

[@mbaker1159]

Follow him long enough to know he just talks shit depending on how he performs… one minute he is a gun on the bike, next minute its the run, then now we hear he has bad legs for 70.3 with no speed but now he is confident on a 70.3 start line but not ironman

[@mochidomo]

Eh, still more motivating than someone miles slower complaining about how pro athletes have off days. Get outta here
