I did a 1500M Swim Race: this is what happened…

[@joesph9748]

Excellent work! Love the friendship and fun rivalry with Lionel. You know he can’t stand losing at anything and will always give it his best

[@robertnastasi8643]

Love the cross overs with Lionel. More episodes!

[@3gneufeld]

“Bet you never thought you’d make money swimming!” 😂

[@markbeuerman]

Sweet burn

[@magnusalexander2617]

Sam lost but still won with that comment

[@taylormit]

Sam, you’re a perfect example of why triathlon is the best sports community. Loved it!

[@willishuang3660]

Great fun! You and LS are great together, you guys gotta do more stuff together!

[@Triathlete64]

I'm glad to see that you and Lionel are in a good relationship; this is a positive message for the multisport community !

[@stephensmith5805]

Well done you two you’re the reason we all do triathlon keep it up a 71 year old you are fun both of you

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

Keep Pushing!

[@MrAdamCoates]

Love you, love LS… love your relationship ❤ shame you’re not racing against each other in 2024 but best to both of you this season 👊

[@ironman140.6]

Sam this is why we watch you. Guess Lionel is the King of the pool! You guys are the best. Good luck in Miami.

[@Sonic0988]

Awesomeness. We want more content. Maybe some reviews on bikes, shoes, nutrition, psychology. Thanks!

[@navadri]

So good to see you both (with LS) These kind of challenges can be really funny videos and a good way to train in a more competitive way

[@rafariveros9356]

Great ti see more videos with U and Lionel ! Great Triathlon & youtube stuff!

[@johnleclair663]

I love it when you and Lionel train and/or race together!

[@boshiken4914]

Watching you and LS train and compete always makes me happy. Competition done for the best reasons.

[@Tri4Nutrition]

Love it mate! Met you in Poland on 2022 and you were such a nice, genuine dude. Amazing to see you continue to crush it 💪🏼👌

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

That was good times!!

[@JohnDoe-sw9zq]

Great vid! Not a bad start off the blocks either.

[@henrychungfitness]

Loved seeing the battle against Lionel along with the sun rising in the background. What an epic outdoor pool, thanks for the video!

[@NMGagne]

Love it! Bring more content like this Sam.

[@lesliebattle6151]

Lionel is JACKED!!!

[@nickolaskraus]

Just did a swim meet for the first time yesterday. I would agree-excellent experience. Would recommend for all triathletes

[@deportedsouls3165]

So impressed by your swim-level!!!!😊

[@Rambleon444]

Thank you for sharing your numbers I always wonder what pace pros. do swimming. Cheers!

[@clocke_128]

The swimmer in me is horrified that you put a tech suit on before you warmed up 😂😂 great video!

[@andrelopes8153]

Great video 💪🏼🚀🚀

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

Thanks for the filming!

[@dominiclpacheco]

Lol @ "you never thought you'd be making money swimming"

[@1wiesehoefer1]

Excellent 😊absolut true your words about beeing nervios before 😅

[@2715jedi]

That was fun to watch...Why its the best sport ever!!!

[@timobrien256]

What about Ari? Maybe he can take on Trevor and the winners from both go at it for the championship

[@maximusswagius7835]

He's in the land down under

[@Naah732]

No longer​@@maximusswagius7835

[@bonn1771]

Nice work Sam.. It was good watching this

[@MrMatteo3434]

Such a great fun video ! Love that you are loving life!

[@arichison]

Good rivalry, love it!

[@nurseboogy]

Swim meets are one of the few places you can share the field with Olympians AND 104 yr olds. I truly love it! Join a competitive masters team! Like ours MEMO in Ca! Ps I’m a Boulder Baby too :) Fairview and New Vista and born Boulder Community Hospital. I wonder if we ever crossed paths. I miss Boulder nature but not lack of diversity.

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Keep it up Sam. Kick some butt in Miami.

[@shredwithrobert]

Nice race

[@jameswisniewski4741]

After watching the Ari in Australia series and how much they “race” in training I think you would benefit so much from it. Just a naturally competitive guy.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

I've been down under for the swim programm camp...Did it in 2018!!

[@michaelevans5558]

That’s almost as much as the Ironman purses

[@vnvtraining7203]

Great comradery 💪🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

[@ucfnathan]

very cool, great progress!

[@tatotherunner4388]

Banger vid!

[@rogerochoa5684]

Are you doing Oceanside? Will be cool

[@colindittmer.]

What was Lionel's time ?

[@Emiljon]

What water bottle is that on the bike? Looks like an absolute unit.

[@chanzhao3379]

Largest triathlon event in the month of march 2024.

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

Hands down!

[@lachlanclark3074]

Great vid 👌

[@mikecounsell]

Enjoyed

[@MrTurboSchnitzel]

Awesome!

[@ofelipem]

Zé graça making a guest appearance 😂

[@Andrew-h5w]

Lionel's secret weapon is the the $600 of Jersey Mike's he eats each week. If you're not mainlining cold cuts like Lionel, you're fighting a losing battle.

[@sportivitythrills183]

I have to admit I’m kind of stunned by this result.

[@solodad001]

A lot of McDonald's....I had to laugh at that.

[@CarloS-dc9zm]

Lesgoooo

[@maximb8676]

Great swim:)

[@whamcee]

i know you are here Mr. Ron Apol YOYOYO haha

[@cindybrusse8614]

Next time 1500m in a pool with wetsuit against Lional! Will you be 1 min of more faster than without wetsuit? For me in a 25m pool 500m without 6.55, with a De Boer 7.08!?! With HUUB ATANA 6.35!

[@marcelezo]

Man, amazing.

[@jhonnimencias5048]

Someone drop the numbers on Lionel and Sam for the 1500 … we want to see the final time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

It’s in there. I swam 20:00 he swam 19:38

[@Ziekeman69]

Isn't Lionel a less good swimmer usually?

[@jhonnimencias5048]

No they usually swim together every race

[@mikehammersley3489]

They are usually fairly close in the open water, sometimes even finishing the swim together.

[@juliandiazromero4101]

Sam was better last year, before that pretty even.@@Ziekeman69

[@heikkisanelma6625]

what was lionels time? They talk about 18min something, but from this video i gathered he only just beat samuel? hmm..

[@DonDublin]

Dugay2 wala ka naka post doy!!yo!yo!yo!😂

[@julienroberts128]

Hey sam, the timing of your breathing is a bit late and its making it all a bit clunky. You can see everytime you breath its not smooth.

[@AntonKomarov]

In Russian we say “meshok” 😅

[@MagirusLoopy]

....cool guys.........

[@joshdavid11]

Anyone know what is Sam's best discipline? I was thinking it was bike

[@ln5747]

What pool is this?

[@rolandhuffnagel1060]

It‘s the pain it costs……🎉

[@brandoncochran7616]

YO YO YO

[@andrecharlebois705]

need to see vertical upper arms in the aero position; anything else wastes postural muscle energy

[@romainm7147]

20min is so slowwww for a triathlete pro. It like running a 10k in 38min. Just crazy to be so slow in the water and have result. Something is wrong

[@ponderingfox]

Ah shucks, bummer about the mic.

[@wardstrona8258]

You should get married!!

[@jorgepucholgrifol4570]

Times please 😢😢😢

[@beachedbeluga]

There is so much low hanging fruit with your technique. I hope, hope, hope that with all of your time you are doing drills. There is no reason you shouldn't be swimming faster. Every stroke you are slipping in the water.

[@pcorteen]

Why does someone shout 'twenty' at the end of his swim - 20 * 50 = 1000 meters. 'Oh, it was just a typo!' Bullshit.

[@realalbertan]

28 is too big bro. Also 12 year old girl smoked you by 2 minutes at sectionals.

[@Ken_Adams80]

In Germany we call that kind of race „Not gegen Elend“😅

[@SamYoYoYoLong]

And what does that mean?

[@dsd6538]

​@@SamYoYoYoLong that means that he thinks your 1:20 pace is slow

[@alexanderasdf2742]

​@@SamYoYoYoLongIt's just mean, so I won't try to translate the meaning. On another note, I like your attitude! It's a winning attitude, even you didn't win on that day. I think you know what I mean :)

[@michaelr.8402]

​@@SamYoYoYoLongsame question here...as a german🙈😁

[@swimgood3873]

In this sense it means two people racing who are both bad to watch/need improvement. But it's kind of relative, there are levels to everything. 20:00 in the long distance triathlon world, with swimming being the weakest of the 3 disciplines, with no swim background as a kid is a very solid time. 20:00 for pro or club swimmers is poor. 20:00 for anything else is straight 🔥

[@larrylem3582]

What was Lionel's time?

[@rubendelrio6120]

What was Lionel’s time?
