Didn't realize I was going that wide on the swim, fun to get a shout out!
If LS talks about you, you've made it. Big time.
@korethoe262 guess I can retire at this point😅
You can feel the different vibes in this video from some of the last. Lionel seems to have found the joy in racing and competing again. I'm looking forward to the testing in October.
Are we in this circle again??
@@Clauds43 We? The emotions behind such a raw and unforgiving career this is professional sport is what makes it most exciting. There is a reason LS has arguably the largest fan base in the world.
Let it be a lesson for everyone. What you put in your mouth, is what comes out in your thoughts. Feed yourself drug reaction inducing processed foods, garbage junk food, and hormone and antibiotic laced animals living an anxiety ridden and depressively tortured life and that is what you become. 🙏. Until the pharma industry gets you. Then you’re truly F’d
@@joshuafoulds8107 outside of slowtwitch. most seasoned ag ers are sick of him and his cycle of ups and downs.
hes a distraction from the real pros. You dont see jan or sam throwing tantrums every 2 weeks!
cant wait till he leaves tri for good! 🙄🙄
Great to see that you‘re not talking yourself down anymore
“You know you have made it…” When the house sentiment is negative for a second!
Yo yo yo!
😂
Your run was insane. I wish it had been streamed- would have loved to watch.
Yo Yo Yo! First one here
Lol

Lionel not sure if you read the comments but that was an amazing comeback race from the world championships. Very motivating and amazing work
The remainder of Lionel's career is 100% based on his swim. If he takes a few months away during the off season and goes through a self imposed "two a day" program with a great swim coach based largely on form, he will win big stuff again and re--create himself as a force to be reckoned with. If he doesn't, it will be more of this as he drifts off into the twilight over the next few years before retirement as a "come from behind Top 5 guy." It really depends on what he wants to do. As long as he continues to put anything less than 100% focus onto his swimming and form over a dedicated, non-distracted period of time, he will always be relegated to talking about his bike watts, run times and sub-par (for him) performances. I think I speak for the entire community when I say "WE ALL WISH HE WOULD TAKE THE TIME AND DO IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!"
No one will like your comment; probably because there's so much truth in it. 🤔
I've always seen how Lionel is not consistent enough (and he himself have said this before.) Being a champion requires perfect consistency.
Who, in their right mind, would change their aero position (by dropping 10mm) before a race, without testing? It's great that Lionel says it was a mistake, but at this point in his career, he should not be making mistakes.
No mistakes or missteps with nutrition. It's endearing that he likes to eat pizza, sure.. just another way he's relatable to the common folk. That's what his fans like about him. But, does he want a big TH-cam channel with passionate fans, or does he want to be the boring athlete with major wins and championships?
No mistakes with the bike. No changing position right before a race! Professional riders and triathletes spend so much time perfecting their position; they'd never think of switching it up like he did. And what should be frustrating is that Lionel KNOWS all of this! He knows he needs more consistency. He needs to be a machine. The consistency needs to become mundane and boring.
If he wants to be the 70.3 champ, and/or become consistently successful at the full Ironman, he needs to do the things that he (apparently) doesn't like to do.
In my humble opinion, the most important part of the swim (competition and training) is consistency. Each stroke, each breath, each training session. Especially for triathletes with a weak link in the swim: they have to be boringly consistent. How can he know that the swim has always been his weak link, yet he never seems to focus on it enough in training?? 🤔
Water is 800 times more dense than air. You can't just try harder in swimming to go faster. Takes time and focus. Do 2 a days this winter with an age group swim team and the results will come. (in my humble opinion)
You must be new here 😂
“The Truth is like poetry.
And most people fucking hate poetry”.
The Big Short
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Lionel, learn how to swim. The whole triathlon community wants this for you. Your bike is amazing, your run is amazing but you swim like stiff cardboard. No reach, no glide, more like a paddle steamer unfortunately. You would be unstoppable. It honestly hurts to watch you continue to swim like this. You have no excuse to not go and get proper swim coaching. If you don’t, it will be the one thing you will look back on in your career as your biggest regret. PLEASE WE ARE BEGGING YOU!
In comparison to the video after linegate (which i know hit hard on Lionel-and most of us) this doesn't sound like an athlete at the end of a career, but the beginning. Love his attitude! Between the swim work and bike position work coming soon, I'm betting we still haven't seen the best. Really looking forward to following your '24 season, Lionel! TRANSCEND!
I hate to be critical but it’s a B level 70.3. But it is confirming for him as he very likely had a serious podium shot in Lahti and this race hints at that. Now it’s obvious to me the majority of the Europeans are juicing their blood so I’m comfortable with the clean athletes winning in NA and setting the real honest standards of this sport. Not the corrupt Europeans and their blood doping and PEDs along with their corrupt referring decisions against non-Europeans in both the 70.3 and 140.6 world champs. Lionel Sanders. Bradley Weiss, Braden Currie the list goes on, if you are racing in Europe and in the top ten of a race, the CORRUPT referees will find or make up any penalty they can to ruin your chances. Typical of that area and those countries. Annoying they are turning triathlon into the dirty sport of cycling. I hope you’re ashamed Euro Scum.
Fantastic!! I thoroughly enjoy the “UFC style” race call out with Jackson at the end!
I was one of the age groupers, now I was I could have watched the pro race! Love following your journey Lioneil, best of luck for the season
I think Lionel is visibly looking better. Possible that I see things that aren't there, but I'm glad this worked out eaaay better than last time. keep up the good work
Let’s hope he is eating better and fueling properly with the good food from nature and the plants that love us.
Amazing run. 70.3 king. Forget 140.6. 70.3 world's is your big goal.
Nice to see you looking buzzed.
I also raced 70.3 Michigan (my home town race) and it was amazing to see you run though T1 while I was waiting to get into the water, and also see you heading back into town as I was heading out on the bike! Appreciate everything you do as an incredible ambassador for the sport.
So awesome to see you and everyone else race in person. What a great performance from everyone and it made me love triathlon even more. Cheers
You look very healthy and happy. Great race!
Your run was insanely fast Lionel- you just ran out of real estate. You should be very proud avenging yourself from Finland. You are so inspirational and such a nice guy.
Not criticizing you as I know you didn’t even this line, but I really don’t like that, he ran out of real estate comment. The race distance is what it is. Learn to use the distance to your advantage and go for it.
Here's to 2024 Lionel. Well done for a great positive year. 2nd place, that's a good place!
Thank you LS, Talbot! Looking forward to the open water swim series!!
Hey Lionel, was just wondering how it works with Canyon as your sponsor, do you get the new speedmax at some point? Just seen Laidlow and co riding the newest models, can you request a new one or is it that you’re just comfortable with your current setup?
Was that Trevor in 3rd?
yup
Lionel's my favourite youtuber, but you can't help feel he needs more direction to achieve the very highest level which he is more than capable of but. I can't imagine Jan would pull a spacer out because it's more agressive or would avoid aero testing for so long and certainly wouldn't race so much, recovery is king, so many of these type of "things" over the years. Lionel... Jan needs a job, you need a coach/consultant who you believe in... you see where I'm going...
You must be new here 😂
@@khaubensak think you missed the point of the comment 🤦
While you’re in Windsor, grab the Garneau from 2017 for this weekend 💪
There’s a thought 🧐
Erin at the grocery store: Rewatching this video to make sure she got everything Lionel mentioned drinking/eating
7:23 respect for this volunteer, I feel you buddy.
9:30 so presumably you've learnt your mistake about trying a new bike position on race day and going back to the position you know currently gives you great power to comfort??
Hopefully after October testing you can be both more aero and have more power.
Lionel, you are now the Lionel of ten years ago.
man, I ♥️ this athlete....
Power to speed seems like a very valid metric for the bike, Lionel has always had great power numbers and at the speeds they are riding at aerodynamics matter A Lot. Get thee to a wind tunnel!
Awesome video. You look healthy! Love watching you go, will be rooting for you!
Wasn't he supposed to have quit from ironman races since the 70.3 champs? Did he speak eversince about changing his mind?
All of us here want you to win every race that you start but these mistakes of changing bike position just before a race are difficult to understand. Guess you know what’s best but I wouldn’t do such a change before a race without proper testing
COLD, I have vengence in my heart LFGGGG
You lowered your bars just before the race! Thats so stupid - read any triathlon 101 blog. Why do you sabotage yourslf?
Big race man
9:00 - ‘front pack swimming is mechanics’ - ok … to quote Lionel back at Lionel (from his TH-cam video of 18 months ago detailing how he came a better swimmer later in life - which i think was the last in his ‘stop sucking at swimming series’ - swimming fast isn’t just good-perfect form, ie. mechanics - its largely about the ‘feel for the water’, and frankly the water ‘feels’ different when one is swimming at 1:10/100M pace than it does at 1:25 pace. Lionel needs to swim fast in training (at least once a week) to race fast. This is different from ‘threshold’ or ‘hard’ swimming. Also, open water ‘swim craft’ plays an incredible part as well, especially for someone who is naturally a weaker swimmer in the pool. Tower26 should be able to correct both aspects by 70.3 worlds in Taupo provided Lionel sticks with the plan for once.
LOL.. Laundry better call the priest. lion gonna rip his soul
I’ve met you a couple of times years ago and have always wanted to go pro with a goal of winning Kona myself. I’ve been battling breast cancer at 29 for the last year, but your drive, determination, and confidence always inspires me Lionel. I’m incredibly proud of all you’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see what you have in store for us! Lots of love, Lindsey 🫶🏽🥰
Good luck, Lindsey!
So close. Would have been an epic one
"Disappointed" with a 109 run ? 😮
So impressive how he can just turn the page on 70.3 worlds and go back to focusing on performing. Llionel might not be the most physically gifted athlete but his mindset is amazing. I'm sure he would make an excellent coach
Somebody's got some pep back in their step!
Why are you not going on the highest-end speedmax with the thicker frame like other Canyon athletes?
Didn’t you run quicker the last 3km in Oceanside 2021?
things have changed definitly, everyone have uped their game. the top level guys now are in eu
Listening to Lionel Sanders is like going to a triathlon clinic.
How do you do 50 miles in the bike without socks, you take the time to put them on after the bike but not after the swim? Did you always do it like this? Most guys do socks in T1 so it’s interesting. Would love to hear your thoughts. Did my 5th Olympic at 3:03 last weekend, cheers
It's so crazy that a win is not even guaranteed anymore at low 3:30's in the 70.3. Yes, the game HAS changed.
Whos the person with the fastest Kilometres running these days??
Loving your vibe in this one, Lionel. There’s a different, more accepting, as well as healthy perspective you’re exuding in this. Very good.
Problem is, there’s always an excuse and “no testing” and “now I have vengeance” or next race or whatever. Time is running out. No doubt Lionel is a great athlete, just not going to be on the top step moving forward, probably 😬
chocolate milk power!!!! Lets go!!!
Lionel... watching xterra worlds and wondered how would Lionel do in this crowd? 🤔
Good Race Lionel, I'm happy for you on the effort!!!!!
Nice to see a smile and positive vibes. 👍👍👍
Always appreciate your race recaps, LS! 💪Sad there wasn't time for race week build up or peeks of you and your mama. HI Becky! Go crush Augusta...God bless, Megan 🙏
Finally met Lionel!!! He was walking back from transition area on Saturday with his helmet. Just got done kissing my wife, which I know he saw😂 Said hi to him, walked a bit then ran back to him knowing I’d regret it if we didn’t ask for a pic! He said”Sure let me get my helmet out of the way” Fist bumped us, said good luck! We giggled the rest of the day with excitement after meeting him!!! Was a dream for us!!!! Thanks for being so kind!
I know dad vibes when I see them.
So wish I could've been there! Please come back next year so I can see my favorite "Professional TH-camr!" lol Congrats on the strong finish!!
Looking at your past results I think this is a PR by maybe 2 minutes or so
Every course is a bit different but based on similar courses
All you need is 1 minute on your swim
3 seconds per 100 better
That’s it
Well done Lionel and great recap! Regarding bike position, take a look a at Blu, it doesn't appear there's much drop from seat to bars and he sits relatively upright (yet usually has fast splits)
i'm waiting for lionel to do backstroke during the swim
Amazing to meet Lionel in Frankfort! And what fun to see him chasing down Jackson like that!! Great racing Lionel!!
Man you are awesome!!! Love it. Thank you for the inspiration.
10s behind you will get it very soon
Loved this! Only wish there was more Lionel Content. You sound happy, invigorated and ready to kick some ass. Go get it!!
You're gonna spanked again at Augusta..
Fantastic!! Figures the year I didn't do michigan i miss one of my favorite Pro's. Keep on keeping on !!
Swimming is huge gains!
Chocolate milk is the answer…. Agree with the Right Direction sentiment….. do it for your kid!
Awesome video, and I love to see you relax and focus. Thanks for sharing, Champ
I'm wondering if no socks...better transition would have been the thing?
It was amazing to be able to spectate you at the event and so inspiring. Love the attitude and perspective in this video.
Well done. Many congrats. Great run as well! Might you do a full distance again in 2024?
I’m going to Augusta 70.3!! Looking forward to it
Thanks Lionel for all You do and share with us. I appreciate the raw unedited truth!
He’s back let’s go!!!!!
Great race and video. Fantastic slo-mo shot through the feed station.
the lion is back 🦁
I cannot watch a Lionel video without feeling inspired
Let's go Lionel !
was it a 70.3 PR ?
it's true - the game is super intense these days. super super elite athletes all over the place
We are waiting to cheer for you here in Augusta!
donde estabas ?
Yeh yeh yeh!!! I like what you said at the end. 💪
You think Lionel finally gets a grip on nutrition then says he’s going to have a coke for recovery 🤦🏼♂️
I thought his bike position looked fine before, no need to drop the front any further. Glad to see testing coming up in Oct.
i don't even know rookies that change their bike position right before the race - just stupid
6:45 Lionel playing with fire; that jersey is just barely zipped up enough. Don't want any Ironman officials DQing you! 🤔🤨
Nice was hoping for you
Looking forward to this weekend
Keep bringing it, Lionel!
Good luck in Augusta Lionel
Great to meet you there. Enjoy the book.
The heart of my G is burning
See you in Augusta!
GREAT TO SEE.
Let’s gooooo
newbie mistake to switch up bike setup before a race with no testing... (ENS) Eternal Newbie Syndrome....
Is this AI Talbot? hahaha
Thats what chocolate milk does to you.
Yo yo yo, second one herecafter Sam si like a w
