Thoughts after Ironman 70.3 Mont Tremblant

[@erwangaillard1637]

Speechless. Lionel you made it. YOU STARTED WINNING again with a child, a coach, a wife. You’re living the best life any human can live

[@1darknickguuurrrr]

No he’s not. He is incredibly racist

[@Jade-wz9nx]

I don’t know about anyone else but all it takes is to watch a Lionel video and I’m immediately motivated to exercise let alone an iron man. Congratulations mate!

[@santipoggi]

The transparency of Lionel is one of the best things of his videos...I enjoy listening about highs and lows and overcoming challenges...Let's go LIONEL!!!

[@FiguringOut50s]

as an age group finisher who survived that course, I'm so happy to hear that those conditions were hard for the pros too!

[@Fulorange]

Ditto, it was my first triathlon ever and it was so hard mentally to keep going many times!

[@ryanclose1]

That swim was total chaos when I was swimming. The hardest part of the storm hit while I was on the back end of the swim. First time I was ever legit concerned for my well being. People everywhere calling out for help. Hardest 70.3 I'd ever done. "Survived" is a good way to put it.

[@jparticle182]

Agreed! I was there too around then, some of the kayaks were tipping over that were there to aid swimmers

[@mariusoberholzer2946]

Lionel. Love your comments etc but I have to do props to Talbot. Not just in this, but the trust and the authenticity on your conversation. It takes two to make magic. Keep it real boys!

[@JohnDoe-sw9zq]

Love this content. Kudos on a tough day. Of course not one mention of Talbot for toughing it out in the same weather. lol

[@JoelMaddock]

Great video, and another inspiring race. Thanks for the continued motivation!

[@alisonsmith376]

Always wishing you well, Lionel. Happy to see you accomplish so much. 😊

[@leslie7922]

LET'S FUCKING GO LIONEL YOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 SLAM DUNK THAT FINISHING TAPE ON THE GROUND 🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍

[@felixblock1542]

It was really great to see Lionel the bike animal again. Simply great, it was great fun to watch!

[@samlunger8777]

Congrats! Great to see you on top again! I only hope you are as wise as your words. You can absolutely be the very best, if you "listen to your body". Recovery! Recovery! Recovery!

[@MasaroVerita]

Our great, inspiring and much more matured Lionel with a perfect race win!

[@leegmann2282]

Congratulations, Lionel. Can't wait to watch your Ironman build!

[@fabianthaesler1317]

Thanks for the little talk! Great race in horrible conditions. All the best for the next steps!👋

[@dirkdirkenson1941]

Congrats bro!

[@MarkusM-b3b]

He swims my running week haha

[@Slow.Smooth]

Watching the race was awesome. I’ve been home after foot surgery and haven’t been able to train but watching these pro series performances as so inspiring. Lionel is right about the bike; they all kept taking turns. Crazy to see them dropping hammers on the bike to ill effect. Super epic race. My favorite 70.3 I’ve seen yet.

[@aeroxx]

Me too

[@davypark4469]

Congratulations Lionel.. much deserved result 👏👏 keep it coming Kona here ya come!!

[@darrintouchet4063]

Congratulations, what a journey, thanks for all the insight, prayers for continued health and success!!

[@nancycarleton3064]

Great job Lionel!!! Love that you are still learning from every race...tucking away the experience to draw upon when you need it next!! And thanks Talbot for doing the vid this way - much more of a conversation between the two of you! Great job!!

[@economicguy1]

I was in the group that never made it in the water...they cancelled the swim for a bunch of us after a few people got blown off course. Then gave us the opportunity to bike-run after 2h of standing around....it was gnarly

[@joshuafoulds8107]

I really love these post-race sit down chats

[@markscott2259]

As always, the best entertainment in Triathlon. Thank you for sharing.

[@eldustino100]

Awesome result and a great insight into to it all, build up, nutrition and just the mental state for us all to learn from. Talbot, great work in these vids, entertaining and motivation for us all. Lionel, buzzing to see you back in Kona ! But steady on the strckr. Let's go

[@Will-yj9vf]

Congrats man, watching from Brazil. Great!!

[@natescott2498]

Great meeting and chatting with you this weekend Lionel! Congrats on the win

[@donaldlamarche9886]

Good luck at Lake Placid. Thanks for keeping it real. Love to listen to you speak.

[@joshpain349]

Loved the couch sit down! Nice chat.

[@mvschooten]

R E S P E C T for sticking in and pushing yourself to victory

[@davidzamudio3264]

Grande Lionel!!! You are back!!! Amazing race!!!

[@theintentionalvet5131]

Congrats brother! lol, look at them smooth legs! You did incredible, it was exciting to watch, seemed like a crazy race with those conditions.

[@musify8267]

i like your thinking strategy and the way you reason everything... well done and im feeling more to come this season...!!!

[@allenvilleendurance]

Lionel what a freaking performance! Talk about loving the new drive of just doing it. Make it hurt even more and damn the data. That’s your ticket to the W. Talbot, what a great interview. Hands down the best one to date.

[@mercerboy]

I've done two fulls in 50°F and rain all day. It really sucks when the weather doesn't cooperate but that's when you dig down mentally and get it done. I'm glad you were able to still put in a huge effort and get the win. See you in Placid!

[@EverythingIsPhotogenic]

The look on your face when you crossed the finish line was actually haunting. So happy you didn't come on here with horrible news about your injury! Those conditions sucked and you still fought from end to end, that's the grit of a champion! Levi gives you wings! 🕊️

[@Cortes19882012]

Congrats on the win.

[@benbos1925]

Its not hurting enough! I feel you. Was behind a group of peloton riders in this weekends 70.3 even mee keeping 12m distance I was doing 20watts less for the same pace. So dug in and past the whole group.

[@2906rick]

I wanted to go to see you and take pictures but didn't because of the weather!! Congrats on the win!!!

[@embosurf]

You're a legend Lionel 🔥 Congrats

[@alexgonzalezMI]

I did a half ironman back in 2009 in Tawas Michigan as the remnants of Hurricane Ike came through. The lead Moto couldn't see through his visor and actually followed me 😃. I gratefully won that race and then went straight to the local Walmart to dry off.

[@JP-fb3ju]

So weird! I’m from Michigan. I did that triathlon. The swells from Lake Huron were crazy. That was a miserable race!

[@craigcusack1751]

Whatever you're doing with your run keep it up. Best I've seen from you biomechanically.

[@lachlanclark3074]

Love it absolute legend! 🔥And another great vid team 👏

[@billaronis3645]

“It’s a privilege to do this.” Love Lionel, love triathlon! No Limits!!

[@johnleclair663]

Congratulations ! Of course Outside+ cut to a commercial a minute before you crossed the finish line so for those of us watching from our dry, warm sofa - we missed you winning.

[@ZeroCarbIronman]

Brilliant content, congratulations Lionel on a fantastic victory. As an offer, I’d say in order to win the 70.3 World Championships you would be better to run without socks. Talk to Sam maybe to see how he managed that change. Best wishes for Lake Placid 🤞

[@Runmaerun]

Can’t wait to see you at IMLP!!!

[@carflores13]

I’m just happy for you brother @lionel!!! keep going, you’re fucking killing it!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Barhighendurance]

Epic freaking day! a day to remember that is for sure! I enjoyed the rain haha

[@LouiseAmyx-xw4cd]

Really appreciate the no fake real deal conversation “I don’t care about the fastest anything”. That’s so much the spirit of triathlon.

[@danielgassmann4915]

You come to my hometown Frankfurt?!?!?! Ok, challenge accepted - I will cheer you to the Kona spot - no worries.

[@geoff6195]

Congrats mate 💪

[@megmikerodriguez6011]

WOOHOOOO LS!! And yes, I checked my phone a couple of times during church for updates...but I did promise to pray, so it was legit. 😁🙏 So looking forward to your IMLP build and hope to see you there--We're volunteering! God bless your fam & this journey, Megan 💪🙏 ps. nice to see you in the vid, Talbot!

[@nathanwoods1927]

No limits Lionel, rest up big man.

[@Irontrucker]

I'll be racing in Lake placid. I hope I get to see you kick ass 💪💪💪.

[@juanseaforth5111]

Congrats 👏🏾👊🏾🦁 outstanding race!!!

[@bikerdude221]

Talbot & Lionel, lets make #BattleOfOntario2025 a reality in IMO. Cody, Jackson, Jessey & Lionel!!!

[@barneyreed2315]

Remember these special moments in the future brother

[@ldproc0]

Congrats!

[@andyashton3605]

I'm saying it now - Lionel Sanders Ironman World Champion and Series winner

[@JeatBunkie]

I’m a grown man and this is probably really sad… But that would bring a tear to my eye for sure

[@andygendron]

Love this. I feel the same. If it happens, I'll be coming back here to deliver your due kudos! 🎉

[@emf6621]

I'll give it 1% probability, but I'd be stoked if he were to win the World champs (or Pro series for that matter)

[@derkong7114]

Outstanding!!!!

[@shawnmuise8818]

2016 full it Tremblant the conditions were almost the same. I froze and the bike crashes down Duplessis were terrible.

[@guyguruta778]

Bravo Lionel...je suis un superman de 66 ans...je te suis depuis longtemps

[@tomyspostcards8295]

We were there at the event. Our son also finished the 70.3

[@henrychungfitness]

Solid race digging in especially with those conditions! It's too bad the wind tunnel testing didn't get fully realized in the rain though 😂

[@jameseaves71]

Such an awesome performance 👏🙌😎

[@runbikerun8189]

"If it doesn't hurt, make it hurt more. There's nothing more to think about.'

[@ronramos9]

Loved in the medal ceremony you all were like "Do we douse each other in beer? F$@k that, we've been soaking we all day, so hard pass."

[@yellowhammer126]

LIONEL FTWWWWWW

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

13 hours ago?!!

[@ronanristord-drums8629]

Talbot saying "MEEH" @22'38 absolutely destroyed me

[@resiakanam8502]

the peoples champ no doubt!

[@user-ph9cc7fw7c]

Transcending!! You are! 😊

[@mrmookieburg]

“If it hurts..good. Make it hurt more.”

[@troutfarmer420]

You're an absolute ANIMAL. Love it

[@maxidlab]

@Talbot: it would be cool if the fans could send you questions before these breakdowns!

[@JonathanRintala]

The king is back, smoothest legs in the game - is Kona ready though?!

[@agua-gratis-044]

congrats!

[@rjjone2]

So epic! What a stud!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!

[@ryanclose1]

I actually had the same thought about maybe hoping for a flat lol. Knowing people flat more in the rain, I had an extra tube and CO2 in transition. I didn't take it on the bike, thinking, "If I flat, then I'll just be done" lol That was a tough, tough day.

[@advex4428]

"The rain gives the plants the nutrition that they need to grow." Legendary 😂

[@alicereed5368]

The Lion is as honest as a mug😂 he's so fing awesome

[@pjbeattie1]

Yes, yes, yes!!!!!!

[@alxb.5467]

What software are you using for running and cycling training? Apps like Zwift for example. Thanks!

[@jshea335]

See you in Lake Placid!!

[@TheLiberatedMonkey]

Give this man a raise.

[@kevinmcgaire8684]

YESSS but where are calf sleeves

[@usmclongrangebrainsurgeon]

There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary 🎸🚲

[@airguillo31]

That BTA mount seems very neat. Did Canyon custom made it for you?

[@ryancollins7658]

Heeeeeellll yeah Lionel !!!!!

[@advex4428]

Have you done Frankfurt before? Anyway, I just throw some Frodo-is-the-new-secret-coach gossip into the mix.

[@shihuachin1990]

It's not secret. It's been announced on many podcasts

[@1bojanbojan]

Awesome 👏

[@johnrmakalu]

Well done mate!

[@adammacfarland6415]

The rain gives me superpowers.

[@chuckbunting9731]

anyone see the worst transition of the year at 18:50?

[@giospyren]

Super Sanders!!!

[@Dmcsquared68]

Why is Talbot in front of the camera?😂

[@nancycarleton3064]

Liked having Talbot in front of the camera. Better discussion!

[@maikelbouricius8094]

inspiration

[@Titoautiz]

IMHO everyone hates the poor weather meaning it provides an opportunity to get an edge over your competitors. Accept that which you don’t control. I think that would of been Ben K’s attitude.

[@brandonnielsen694]

But did he shave?

[@aquicktake]

Congrats. Would have been nice if Outside actually showed the finish!! FFS

[@Sklyfix]

First erver Ironman were you had to swim the whole time
