    Congratulations, Lionel! I'm a 60 year old man with mild cerebral palsy who's been following your journey for years. I watched your race as I was on Zwift here in Oro Valley. Just want to say thanks for the inspiration! Also - well done, Talbot! I appreciate your hard work as well. Onward!

    Lionel, you're doing more for the sport of Ironman than most people and brands out there. You're an incredible advocate for the sport. I can't think of a better ambassador for this amazing lifestyle sport. And let me explain why. I lost my passion for the sport years ago only to discover your channel and see my motivation coming back. You're articulate, humble, charismatic, and seem so grounded and approachable for us mere mortals. Of course a huge congratulations to Talbot. I think it would be great to include some clips with your wife and parents who are so supportive of you. In a way, they're the silent heroes behind your story, which you are so generous to share with us.

    @twicedone Před 2 lety +27

    Man, the moment I saw you coming up behind Braden I instantly got goose bumps and actually started crying when you overtook him. Rarely saw a moment like that in sport, that was that amazing! Keep it going, you have what it takes. We will see you in Kona hunting everybody down!

    Ideas:
    Top 5 moments
    Worst 5 moments
    More content with your sponsors. Go visit them and make cool stuff.
    Show us more about your equipment and how you set everything up. Down to how tight your laces are. 😃
    Lionel calls a pro
    Call a pro and ask chat about the good stuff.
    More food content, pre and post workout food. More in general also would be good.
    Maybe brake a Guiness world record somehow?
    Make Talbot do more workouts with you like the bike climb. That was fun watching him suffer😂
    Well thats all I’ve got for now✌️

    Another amazing effort! You continue to inspire, and are truly doing so much for the sport. Spent the first 25 years of my life doing my best to avoid the gym, and while i did start appreciating fitness in my 30s, it was primarily an attempt to balance my less then stellar diet. Then I happened to discover your channel a few years back, and really found your story to be quite compelling. Fast forward to 2022, and i just completed my first sprint triathlon at the age of 58. If i can get my swim together, i am hopeful to make it to the Texas PTO race happening in September. Hope to see you there!

Super respect for his ability to dissect his races, training, etc. to such detail but then to be able to verbalize it all to us is oh so appreciated. Great insight and really appreciated!
