This guy inspires me every single day! Lionel because of you, I went from 320 pounds and being told my liver is on the verge of failing to now 220 pounds going into my second season of Sprint Triathlons 3 races register i hope to podium in my age group. Thank you, Lionel!

[@truthfacts57]

Dont know your age , but good effort in losing the weight and making lives little changes that add up . In the sport since 1985 , 61 yrs young now , make sure to take care of your heart , use a HRM , even when you swim . Girlfriend is a cardio othro rehab RN 25 plus old school years , so health is #1 then fitness # 2

[@knittingdoula]

Actually, I think athletes like Lionel should be inspired by YOU. Your story is amazing.

[@erikpeters4027]

Nomad Triathlete I lost 60lbs. Nice going bud!

[@joelroman774]

I knew you'll come back la true champ you are congrats my man you are my inspiration i start training again i have the hope to meet you one day once again you are a true champion i would like to see you compete in my country ironman 70.3 Puerto Rico

[@evanwetzel9128]

We stand by you because everything we see is real. Stay hungry

[@shravandevjani6131]

I am going to take back what's mine- Lionel ; fantastic

[@shaunlennox6707]

Lionel is a class act! Meeting him in person at this race just shows that he is truly respectful to all his competitors, age groupers, and fans. Yes, he is very focused and hard on himself, but he is on the right track to be the best Pro Triathlete he can be. He's is learning everyday and his transparency shows he is human like the rest of us. He was extremely encouraging to my son who is 13, and an aspiring triathlete. GO LIONEL! We wish you all the best on your journey ahead.

[@luiscarloscampos7687]

“Business as usual is pretty bad” lol things like that make you one of my favorite athletes, thanks for staying genuine Lionel! Hope that 2019 is full of better performances

[@graemeporte3105]

Honesty is Lionel's biggest endearing quality. And being a brilliant triathlete

[@ArunaabhShah]

How can we stop supporting you? You are the most honest athlete out there, you don't lie about who you are, how you train and talk so openly about everything. You will forever be the People's champ!

[@wildernessandme]

It's rare to see some HONEST athlete nowadays! This is why I love this man so as Gwen Jorgensen!

[@DanNoz]

Superb edit Talbot and congrats Lionel on the win!

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Yes another sweet edit with accompanying change in score choices...

[@ironman140.6]

Thank you for taking a pic with me after the panel. You are very humble and gracious. I wish you a very inspiring 2019. Show the world you are the greatest and cement your place in history.

[@annieeland364]

A true inspiration. What an amazing attitude!!!

[@radiantlandscapesphotograp1525]

Amazing job!!! So fun to watch you race! It takes a lot of cajones to just say "yeah I need help". It's amazing to see the change in mindset from previous videos to this one. So humble!

[@secaarco]

It s not how many times we fall, it s how many times we get back up! Well done.

[@franciscorazo7867]

Time to get on the turbo trainer and watch your new video, you motivate me so much and i will do my first triathlon this next year! You are the best

[@joelroman774]

[@markgrenier6787]

To the gates of hell I will go with you this is far more than a sport this reminds me of Hector and Achilles. Lionel I am 65 years and in great shape. I've only done a handful of Sprint. It is my dream and my goal to finish at least a half Ironman. You my friend are the inspiration.

[@mzu210]

Love the overall tone and vibe of this video. Got goosebumps more than once watching this video. Lionel you are the man. Congrats on your race performance.

[@Mike.A.]

Thanks for this Talbot and congrats Lionel! Amazing job all around, and got a chill watching the finish chute.

[@notoriousantz05]

Congrats, Lionel!?!... when can we expect some fan gear. I’m down to rock shirt....

[@jpcinema4574]

Lionel... you were always DA MAN! You still are DA MAN! And you will continue to be that! Good win. Keep rocking.

[@unknowntxt]

You've tremendously improved your running form lionel! Good job and congratulations on the win!!! To many more wins that includes #1in Kona 2019 😋

[@_t_o_t_o_r_o_m_m_e_l7971]

Other than a great athlete, Lionel is also one smart, intelligent and humble man. Gotta bring out those wisdom my man! Hats off to you sir! Proud Canadian here.

[@mij9196]

So good to see you on top again Lionel! You are one of the most giving athletes in the sport. And that new bike is mean looking!

[@ejquezad]

I can see you have been working on your running form. Great job!!

[@mlegrand]

@Talbot, best video to date. Opening sequence was really well done. Keep up the good work!

[@SuperKat1029]

Looks like it was a beautiful day plus the success. Well done, thanks for continuing your journey.

[@egildroge8988]

The way it's edited it looked like it was a one man race :D Congrats on the win and the good feeling, you're an inspiration Lionel! And thanks for the videos Talbot!

[@triathlonsteve9675]

Great race Lionel, enjoyed the video and sounds like you have your head back in the game for next year, looking good on the canyon 🚴‍♂️👍

[@snowbrdlover]

Lionel the perfect thing about you is that you are authentic! You are an inspiration and a motivation bro! Keep going beast!

[@toteemd]

this guys inspires me everyday! keep it up lionel!

[@josemaldonado8313]

Congratulations! Such an inspiration, looking forward to seeing you win many more events! It's so great to see your progress, keep it up!

[@newlifestartsnow4444]

Well done, Lionel. You deserve this one... very humble in your response. I reckon you have some good tones ahead.

[@christerzian9293]

Glad to see you on top again. Looking forward to seeing your training progress throughout the year.

[@thekeenester]

Was out there racing with you yesterday! Such an honor man, glad to see you back in top form. Good luck in 2019!

[@victory4life00]

You are an inspiration bro! Love watching you train/race, gets me pumped for all my training sessions. Love from Australia.

[@susanwiggins6309]

Congrats Lionel! Enjoy some rest. I look forward to your 2019 season!

[@rahulsunrays]

New bike n fresh spirit Lion starts to roar... way to go.. keep improving and inspiring.

[@iandonnelly727]

Congrats again Lionel! Enjoy the downtime and safe travels back home!

[@newlifestartsnow4444]

Running posture looks heaps better...or am I imagining it???

[@StefanMaikel]

No it's true! But when he gets tired it becomes worse again. Should be good after a couple months more of improvement!

[@michaelb.4362]

I'm really not a hater but damn to me it stills looks awful, but I'm prayin it will work out for him.

[@edgarbleikur1929]

Agreed! (We all know why his gate is this way yes?)

[@jimmyreddy63]

Why is that?@@edgarbleikur1929

[@towncoffeecompany]

why?

[@theflorentine5047]

Keep stretching and flexing. Love IT! Best of Luck!

[@danielawidmer7836]

One of the greatest triathlete on Earth

[@monicabernhoffer7011]

Thank you so much for sharing the journey!!! After 18 mediocre triathlon seasons, you are pushing me to greatness. Hope to see you in Mont Tremblant. Will you sign my bowl?

[@mutley0007]

Congratulations Lionel. Great win!

[@dcooper8588]

really enjoy your videos and your commentary. thanks and keep em coming.

[@nielsbrand291]

Lionel good to hear you are honing in on your bike position, you can now get standard crank length's down to 160mm maybe you would even prefer this over 165mm :) Also you can get shoe specific speedplay systems (northwave has one for example) which could grant you another 3mm of "extra" space. Any extra bit helps for an open and powerfull hip position to help you run stronger afterwards right ;) I want to see you get off that bike and destroy that run leg

[@leegmann2282]

It’s a great day when there’s a new Lionel Sanders video!

[@GriffinWoodenFitness]

His running form looks different, can someone confirm I'm not just crazy? Lionel has been such a great influence on me. The videos he posts feel much more real through wins, high times, and struggle Lionel posts videos and its great to see someone that fails sometimes like me.

[@Samuel-gs3jb]

Great to see you racing to your abilities! I'm going to train my but off to hopefully make it and see you in France, if you decide to go of course.

[@mochidomo]

Let's go Lionel!!! Always inspiring watching both online and in real life!!!

[@ianmoore3253]

Great insight. My take away is that there is no perfect fit... always a trade off between faster bike positions and run pace off the bike..

[@normanwoods8844]

Slim shady is BACK! Congrats on Indian Wells Lionel.💪

[@glenngundermann2433]

Congratulations Lionel. So awesome.

[@jorrevandeweyer5188]

Smashin it Sanders running form seems to be improving keep up that great work

[@Crojach]

Why am I more happy for his good results than my own?

[@dannyrutz3792]

Ivan Karacic that's awesome!

[@jayrichman9643]

well deserved and happy to see the result

[@Vidushaka68]

Said like a true warrior with utter conviction 🤟🏼

[@bluecollar8525]

I'm a bike courier, so I can ride all day, and can run decently, but I can't swim for shit. But watching your videos has forced me into the pool more often to aim for an olympic triathlon this summer. Win or lose, you just keep fucking going. I suck at swimming, so I'm just gonna keep putting pool time in too.

[@mickhurley7305]

What a gent, responding to the fans. Forget about the last 6 months Lionel, no one at the top is still beating themselves up about a race they did 2 or especially 4 months ago. Beating yourself up over bad races is sucking too much energy , and possibly affecting your neural muscular connections in a negative way. Wait until you retire and having beers on the porch to go over the bad races. Move on , and go to NICE, France , its a great country very supportive of ultra athletes . That was a great edit and video, it has a new edge just like Lionel we hope.

[@bushsons100]

Nice to see you back on the top step Lionel

[@sdichampion]

That’s my guy 👍 Great job Lionel! You helped inspire me to sign up for the Muncie 70.3 next year. ✌️ how can I get an autograph to go on my pain cave wall?

[@EricGlenn]

Congrats! Thanks for pushing through...it inspires.

[@foundationofbalaypasilunga9297]

Well done Lionel!

[@ryanking1460]

Nice work Lionel. Way to inspire!

[@maxgrass8134]

great stuff dude, what power are you putting out at HR 132 to 134?

[@timmykruegertv]

“Wrist band sir” 😂😂😂

[@knittingdoula]

I loved that, too. "Wristband, Mr. Fancy Pants. You ain't special." 🤣 Triathlon is so awesome that way.

[@kevingallagher4673]

Doing the London Marathon in April and this is just inspiring on training runs ......

[@pietrosbisa4585]

His cycling form looks better now on the Canyon..maybe the bike, maybe the fit.

[@bb3xhrhj]

So.. you're going back to the mustage, right? That's something you have to work on in the off-season.

[@tummyfullfigger9291]

Congrats Lionel! Enjoy the off season!

[@desmondyap5391]

great content. good job talbot

[@B1gC4st]

Although I loved the house music, the Nickelback fits the Canuckistani!

[@johnmarktamano8834]

superman returns with a coach

[@wrxzboost]

bike looks f'in legit as hell!

[@raularboleda326]

Excelente , sigue así , espero que ganes kona 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@TheGAMBOL13]

Congrats Lionel!

[@ironmantooltime]

Way to go dude, looking strong 👍😎💪

[@markuscg1]

Awesome work!

[@Yamaha_Bolt]

That’s a different bike? How does it compare to your Garneau?

[@shay9732]

Great job mate! Enjoy the rest :)

[@oiizopodifi]

Never clicked so fast

[@elgoddo]

you are the men lionel. keep it up. Mr

[@stayinverted]

The Champ is back!

[@mixanikos2]

like your video man. very inspiring.

[@gianmarcopuglisi5509]

Paint on that bike is so dope

[@SeamanGR]

You motivate me so much!

[@phxrsx]

Lionel, a pro tip for that canyon hydration straw. If you put a camelback "nipple" on it, the liquid won't splash all over your frame when you're done taking a drink.

[@200procenttetna2]

What's the title of music in background of the race? Sounds very positive :-)

[@MrMoodyman123]

Lionel looks good in Canyon gear!

[@dirkburger4326]

Whoohoo here we go!!

[@johnnyb1897]

God you are a beast dude. 🇨🇦🤘

[@jplay0426]

2019 70.3 wc is going to be so good

[@SuperOCHomes]

Love to know the bike split and watts he was pushing with only a 132-134 HR. Great day

[@terminatorxtreme]

I am very impress by those number. Everywhere we find that you need to go at 85% of you BPMmax on the bike but for the pros thats totally irrelevent ? I dont understand the worls anymore

[@SuperOCHomes]

@@terminatorxtreme I remember he has a low max HR. Does anybody recall the exact number? 85% of his max, makes his max HR 154.

[@Lummers70]

Chuck Norris would approve👍

[@ardvark9787]

I don’t understand the heart rate 130-135 that he is talking about. I know that he is a super athlete, but that seems super low. Am i misunderstanding something here?

[@dbtri95]

Great job 👊

[@sydneyzacarias2468]

2019! Let's go get it!

[@sportl1899]

Did the new world best time Blummenfelt give you sleepless nights too or is that just Frodeno

[@Alexisger]

Maybe 70.3 it is better for you. And maybe in the wetsuit races you are equal with the athletes from swimming background.

[@pandats]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@dannyrutz3792]

230 hr? Isnt like 180 red zone n e thing higher is bad?
