This guts to do this on the world stage is excellent. I wouldn't want to try out a completely new sport in front of everyone. Kudos! Hope you have a great time!
Hopefully he can get some practice on the same kind of treadmill they use at the event. I remember some of the athletes last year commenting that it really threw them off the first time they used one.
Just sayin. im excited to watch on saturday. But those Super League dudes throw down 2:04 long course. which Converts to 1:48SCY. The watts and pace Lionel will have to push to close the gap in such a short race is going to be worth the price of admission
Fun video can’t wait to watch the event on Saturday! Talbot will there be lead u videos? Loving the content! What’s with the rain in Tuscan, make sure to clear that up by end of March! Good luck!
Would good flat pedals be better for this type of event? No wasted time fumbling with clipless or time swapping to running shoes? Then again i dont push 400+ watts for any appreciable amount of time so what do i know about how much clipless helps on the bike?
It's simply a more efficient way to transfer power (i.e. more watts), and at this level every marginal gain is necessary. Additionally, the stiff sole of cycling shoes (often carbon on high end shoes) is way more efficient than the soft sole of a running shoe.
@@darthjohn0 GTN did a test of both and there was literally no difference except for feeling better connected with clipless (depends on the sponsor as well). In a Superleague setting it would be worth exploring to use flats then ride and run in the same shoe especially if you have a carbon plate in the shoe or use a track shoe. Now if he could just learn to dive, without bending his knees, then coming up for air on his first stroke ......🤣
You're blessed. show some appreciation for your gift. really sad to hear such fit athletes at the top of the sport who have the privilege to enjoy sport for a living complaining so much.
A lot of work needed on the Transition, it's what stopped LCB from doing so well in SLT - I think I'm right in saying that at around the 6 minute mark you get on the bike without removing your swimming cap and goggles, which would earn you a penalty and likely see you knocked out!
Better get some practice time on the Assault Runner...I think Lionel has a flat Woodway in his training room but the curved treadmill feels really different and requires some extra balance, especially when going flat-out fast! Good luck man!
With peace and love, Lionel you need to stop breathing every stroke. You’re not fast or strong enough to be a 2 breather. You’ll literally shave at least 2 seconds a 25 if you didn’t breath as much.
Talbot is killing it
Last few videos are lit, keep at it guys
Ok, now we are SO excited for tomorrow! 🚀🔥
My eyes light up every time I see a new Lionel video. Thank you Lionel and Talbot. These videos keep getting better.
This guts to do this on the world stage is excellent. I wouldn't want to try out a completely new sport in front of everyone. Kudos! Hope you have a great time!
Nothing gets me more exited for this Season of Tri than your videos :) keep it up Talbot and LS!!!
I got to meet Lionel sanders at Ironman Florida. A true legend in the sport! He’s the best!
Loved how the music was muffled with the underwater shot toward the beginning. It’s the small details that make the video stand out.
Who would ever simulate a race before then Lionel ! Great Content as always Talbot! One reason more to get up at night for SLT …
This long form content is badass! Talbot you have come a long way brother. I guess Lionel as well haha. Great motivational content !
Burt getting into the action 👍🏻
cannot wait to watch this race live!!! Go Lionel Go!
Love that it took him a while to realise his cap and goggles were still on during the ride 😂
Legends doing this in the pouring rain. Way to go. Can't wait to watch the event.
they do be swimmin
The Feed is Great and your commercial is awesome.
Hopefully he can get some practice on the same kind of treadmill they use at the event. I remember some of the athletes last year commenting that it really threw them off the first time they used one.
Best of luck Lionel. Have fun!
"this is going to be fucking disgusting, why? why?" hahaha ,that was hilarious. You are the best, good luck
The Feed is fantastic, been using them for a year. Glad to see you are with them now!
Family support on a rainy day =
Good luck Lionel - go smash it!!!
Great video. Maybe practice running on those treadmills they use. Its curve can take some getting used to.
These videos keep getting better
You guys are the best,excited for race day 💪
Thanks for sharing, hope to have this kind of races here in Argentina soon.
Hard one 👍🏻 nice effort! Talbot, Great work!
Great video! Fun to watch you enjoying the pain!
Great video, Lionel don't get penalised for not putting your swim stuff in the transition box.
Just sayin. im excited to watch on saturday. But those Super League dudes throw down 2:04 long course. which Converts to 1:48SCY. The watts and pace Lionel will have to push to close the gap in such a short race is going to be worth the price of admission
Loving these constant uploads!!
what a vibe , Great vid ! smash it !!
Great intro.... Loving this content.
Lionel jokes about being a TH-camr, but he actually is a very good TH-camr (and so is Talbot). :)
Tha drone shot on the 3rd run is DOPPPPEEEEE
Fun video can’t wait to watch the event on Saturday! Talbot will there be lead u videos? Loving the content! What’s with the rain in Tuscan, make sure to clear that up by end of March! Good luck!
Good luck to Lionel!!
Awesome! Good luck and have fun!…if that’s possible 😅
Dunno why but my interest started fading after the first bike leg ;-)
Hopefully the race is live streamed for free. Good luck!
Good Luck from Bavaria, Germany
Europa 👍😀
Everything in this video is great!
Transitions Lionel!!!!!

Awesome content! Love it!
DQ (I think) - Finals 2 started the swim without goggles and swim cap.
Intro was bad ass. Oh yeah video was cool too TC lol
similar intensity to rowing! “lactate buffering” aka ability to use lactate as a fuel is the limiting factor
Shut up Sean
Using trainer connected to AC in pouring rain that is another level of madness 😅 But i see everyone is ok 😮💨
awesome!
I think Lionel truly took on the youtube path, great watching! Just worried that he will not be competitive on Ironman anymore..
Great video!
el oh el at the guy in the last video saying pool swimming and trainer riding were against your ethos.
Specificity matters, big time!
Bonne chance à Montréal...de guy de Brébeuf
First thoughts would be water and electricity ⚡️ 🫣🫣
Love that intro! What is it?
can we watch this live on tv usa & canada..?
why was his lactate so high in the first few reps and then it came down? lack of warm up?
Is that a 25 yard pool where they train?
You're blessed. show some appreciation for your gift. really sad to hear such fit athletes at the top of the sport who have the privilege to enjoy sport for a living complaining so much.
WHAT AN F-ING COMMERCIAL!!
Can someone explain the lactate testing for me. Is higher number better?
nice vid, great prep, best weather 😉
I love your videos 😊
Nice weather there😂
According to my calculation based on previous SLT Arena events, Lionel will lose 25s every swim+T1 leg.
A lot of work needed on the Transition, it's what stopped LCB from doing so well in SLT - I think I'm right in saying that at around the 6 minute mark you get on the bike without removing your swimming cap and goggles, which would earn you a penalty and likely see you knocked out!
Cool story bro...
the girl 💜 smoked both of you on the swim, too bad she had mechanical issues on the bike
Who is she? More content on her!
When is the race?
So glad you got away from Gatorade. That makes me ultra happy.
Surely the swim needs a lot of improvement, should be sub 2:10
Is that Barry Shepley?
Why? Why? Why?? Because you can!
Please introduce the people in the videos, not all of us know all the participants in Triathlon
Erin is such a pro
Better get some practice time on the Assault Runner...I think Lionel has a flat Woodway in his training room but the curved treadmill feels really different and requires some extra balance, especially when going flat-out fast! Good luck man!
👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏!
Will u and Jackson be in the same heat
Gather speed on the trainer, then put your feet in the shoes
6.0
Lfg🎉
The girl it is a fast swimmer!!!!!
This looks like it will hurt......
This means sanders have left forms for magic5?
Definitely prioritize finding a gym with one of those curved treadmills, to practice. That could ruin your whole day if you need to learn day of.
Shut up ben
Please practice transitions
Lost any bike gains on transition.
With peace and love, Lionel you need to stop breathing every stroke. You’re not fast or strong enough to be a 2 breather. You’ll literally shave at least 2 seconds a 25 if you didn’t breath as much.
Does lionel need a more straight arm turnover? Lack of shoulder flexibility?
