@TheTrailRabbit was saying that so more people can come into the sport and see how difficult it is to train and actually win a race. It's nice to see what happens behind the scenes.
@@TheTrailRabbit they're just asking for behind the scene stuff for these professional athletes, you're making it seem like any video that santara tech posts is the norwegians 'acting' . get a grip
We are so lucky to have this series. I've never felt so a part of the build up to a Kona world championship as I have with this run of the series. Thanks Talbot and Lionel for bringing us along!
Of course go all in. You have been there for a month to prepare, tomorrow is never guaranteed. You won't regret trying to achieve your dream of winning. Ride the razor's edge and do what you do best, race. Good luck.
Lionel you are an inspiration to all of us. You deserve to be there. Represent Canada well my brother. Win or lose you are making a huge difference in many peoples lives.
I love this guy!! Lionel, get out of your own way. You aren't "the UA-cam handout." Run *YOUR* race! Don't let other people dictate your terms. A lion is aggression under control. You've put work in the deposits, now it's time to make the withdrawal. We're rooting for you!
this is my favorite series on youtube. Talbot, you've really taken it up a notch. From the incredible editing to the perfectly timed Norwegian Method ad reads... beautiful.
Lionel. You HAVE to go all in. You are not getting any younger and these young guys are flying. If you have good legs early in the bike take advantage and take some chances!! Man I'm rooting for you harder then I ever have a person/team in my life . I'm gonna cry if you win!! Let's go, Lionel!! Put it on the line!!
I’m nervous and excited for Lionel! Rooting for the aggressive approach! Whatever the outcome is he will not be happy and that’s what we love about him!
Good Luck Lionel, just go out there and race your race and hope you have a great day out there. You have made this sport so enjoyable and interesting, more than any other triathlete for years. Its been a privilege for us all to watch you train and race all these years! Thank you for all of it and im sure it's fair I say We All Wish You Luck in Kicking Today's @$$ !! 😀 Good Luck!
Von Berg - that was Florida. No shot. Don’t hold back LS. This may be your last big race. Don’t sleep on T Foley! Should be a fun race. Love the behind the scenes. Killer videos!
The whole series is Brilliant! I love the infomercials haha....did you get a pro voice actor for that?😂 it's perfect mix of beautiful shots and stories, bts mood.....really really good
Very good self evaluation from Lionel. From what I have seen from him since 2017, I would use the opportunity to go all in at least trying to catch front pack before Hawi. Even if it would result in a walking day, Lionel tried it and showed up with the best of the world when it mattered. He belongs to this small group of „difference makers“. Be aggressive, trust your abilities 🙏🏼
Well...we all know by now. Not doubt about he is a hard working athlete and all my admiration and respect. But ironman ( Kona ) takes all what you worked for and more.
My triathlon coach always said race the race in front of you. Catch the person in front of you, and then try catch the next person. Eventually you finish in the best spot you can. Good luck.
Undisputed greatest triathlete of all time. Frodo. He showed the way and now I only hope everyone else does the same and peak @ 41 years old or perhaps even later.. supercool evolution in endurance racing!
All in!! Lion’s go all in every time they eat! 100% in and walk if you have to but that mind and body will not let you walk this time around!! No Limits! Race Lionel just race
I'll like to say goodluck to lional. For me, I tend to not like talking about my race plan because its internaly in my mind and talking about it makes me nervous so I respect lional for talking about whats in his mind.
Hey @Talbot, any chance you can include the TRAVEL VLOG… Want to see how you guys travel to and from races… all the cargo, packing, airports etc… would be awesome to see that side of the sport also. I did for some race car drivers and got really good results… this vlog is already a success, just an idea! Keep pushing “PAL” we can’t wait to see L.S have the race of his career…
the moment when Blu's ad switches to the old and Wurf appears lmao
Best Kona Series EVER. Do these for every top race that LS, KB, and Gustav compete in
buddy they are athletes not actors for your personal entertainment

Amen, this has been extremely entertaining and insightful to watch.

I do want him to do that but also dont want him to walk and his confidence moving forward will be questionable 😢
Those KB plugs 👌🏻😂
Lionel you are an inspiration to all of us. You deserve to be there. Represent Canada well my brother. Win or lose you are making a huge difference in many peoples lives.
Amazing story about Ryf catching Lionel on the swim lol
Lionel’s making good money either way those KB ads
Feck whoop, such arbitrary metrics 😂 can get the same using the free garmin app directly from the device recording the data 😂
The ads were A+
I love this guy!!
Lionel, get out of your own way. You aren't "the UA-cam handout." Run *YOUR* race! Don't let other people dictate your terms. A lion is aggression under control. You've put work in the deposits, now it's time to make the withdrawal. We're rooting for you!
Go for the agressive plan Lionel!!! IF NOT NOW, WHEN?
I wish this series would never end.
For us AGs who'll probably never get to see Kona kudos Talbot for showing us around!
These vlogs are so good. You’re creating more hype for Kona than anyone else. Loving it.
KB on the stretcher sends me every time
Exellent work Talbot. All the behind the scene stuff
this is my favorite series on youtube. Talbot, you've really taken it up a notch. From the incredible editing to the perfectly timed Norwegian Method ad reads... beautiful.
He’s an athlete, once that cannon goes he’s in race mode which means all in. This dudes the best and this series has been amazing
Lionel is just a great guy! How can you not like him 👌 all the best for the race. 🍀
Best of luck Lionel. A lot of people rooting for you. An inspirational athlete and human being
Have the BEST day Lionel!!! We are all rooting so hard for you!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Grip it and rip it. Of course he’s going all in. It’s going to be fun to watch.
Lionel. You HAVE to go all in. You are not getting any younger and these young guys are flying. If you have good legs early in the bike take advantage and take some chances!! Man I'm rooting for you harder then I ever have a person/team in my life . I'm gonna cry if you win!! Let's go, Lionel!! Put it on the line!!
Love the honesty & authenticity of this series 👌 ❤
Due to this series I can save my money for going to Kona. This is so good and all in wow! Great piece of work Talbot and the always honest Lionel.
Excellent work on all these vids Talbot, not just on Lionel but a great insight into Kona in general
Really enjoying these LS KONA VLOGS. thanks guys! Good luck in the race. You’re a legend & 1 of the best careers there.
He will know himself on the day . Best of luck Lionel . Luck of the Irish with you ☘️☘️☘️
Some sombre truth from Lionel there at the end. Hope to see the man on top of the podium tomorrow.
Remind Lionel that he came 2nd in 2022 & of his wins in 2024 when he talks about getting you tube slots at press conference!!!
hell yeah
Great to to see Gustav back…you love to see it
This series is such a treat!!
Sky is the limit Lionel. Dream big and go for Gold. Austria ist cheering for you!
Love the series so much and enjoyed following your season the complete year. Thanks for taking us with you. All the best for the race!
Hey this is real cool of you showing all the logistic going behind the scene by the the organization... amazing job
The Blu adverts popping up everywhere are comedy gold right now!! Especially since you've made them context sensitive. Don't overdo it though.
I’m nervous and excited for Lionel! Rooting for the aggressive approach! Whatever the outcome is he will not be happy and that’s what we love about him!
Seeing that pier brings back some awesome memories from the late 90’s for this old guy.
Let’s GO 🎉 - rooting for you big time
Great vids this year - I’m loving the series. And those KB ads kill me every time! Good luck Lionel - time to transcend your training!!!
No Limits on race day. Good luck champ we’ll all be pulling for you
Going to miss these vids, so entertaining.
wishing a good race, as good as this vlog is !!!!
Good statement about the press conference. I wish you the best in sports, you will have a great career
Lionel, thank you and please give your best, we will watching you from SINGAPORE. Greetings
Such brutal honesty is a rare thing in pro sport! Lionel deserves a win...and anything can happen out there, so why the F not???💯
I've really enjoyed this series. Just getting back into triathlon after a hiatus. This is just what I've needed.
Kb Feed is great. Love seeing them and Pat
Good Luck Lionel, just go out there and race your race and hope you have a great day out there. You have made this sport so enjoyable and interesting, more than any other triathlete for years. Its been a privilege for us all to watch you train and race all these years! Thank you for all of it and im sure it's fair I say We All Wish You Luck in Kicking Today's @$$ !! 😀 Good Luck!
Ready for race day. This series is great. The athletes are great. Gonna live and die with every awesome performance and tragic blowup.
Von Berg - that was Florida. No shot.
Don’t hold back LS. This may be your last big race.
Don’t sleep on T Foley!
Should be a fun race. Love the behind the scenes. Killer videos!
The whole series is Brilliant! I love the infomercials haha....did you get a pro voice actor for that?😂 it's perfect mix of beautiful shots and stories, bts mood.....really really good
Love this series, love the content. Smash it Lionel
I would just like to see Lionel compete with the top guys for him to win would be a stretch but hoping he's in the mix at least
Very good self evaluation from Lionel. From what I have seen from him since 2017, I would use the opportunity to go all in at least trying to catch front pack before Hawi.

All the best Sanders. Have a great day out there.
Let's go Lionel!!! All in baby
Great job volunteers!!!
All the very best! Leave it all in the course!
Thanks a lot for all this content and insides you give us.
Well...we all know by now. Not doubt about he is a hard working athlete and all my admiration and respect. But ironman ( Kona ) takes all what you worked for and more.
My triathlon coach always said race the race in front of you. Catch the person in front of you, and then try catch the next person. Eventually you finish in the best spot you can. Good luck.
Lets go Lionel!
Get some sleep Brugh. I’m all in for ya! Check into your own hurt locker and stay there. Enjoy the struggle and pain. You’re a hero
Wait 10:49, sorry, why is Ironman not paying people for their labour? Why does Ironman need volunteers?
Ya Ironman always relies heavily on volunteers then charges $500 for an entry
Else they would charge you double.🤣🤣
Go All In!
I can't wait🎉❤🎉❤ you are the best Lionel..
Go for it champ 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Best of luck Lionel !
Had a cigarette in the penalty tent 😂
Undisputed greatest triathlete of all time. Frodo. He showed the way and now I only hope everyone else does the same and peak @ 41 years old or perhaps even later.. supercool evolution in endurance racing!
Thanks for the tour 👏
made me laught with that kb commercial, wasnt expecting it 😂
I think all the other pros should have been asking how much of a gap do we need to Lionel after the swim. This guy is coming for ya boyz! Beast mode!!
@5:09 haha omg the wonderfully brilliant norwegian again 😂
All in!! Lion’s go all in every time they eat! 100% in and walk if you have to but that mind and body will not let you walk this time around!! No Limits! Race Lionel just race
What he said in the end about he don't deserve to be there,is a legend talk 🔥🙏
The KB Ad is such a high level😂
Just let gratitude guide you ❤
All the posing on that Pro Presser
If there was a 40 meter draft rule, the day would shake out differently
Never knew who that dude was outside of Bert, thanks for including the press conference intro.
Best of luck Lionel, you deserved it
Go Lionel . swim your best ! bike strong ! run hard ! And just Let’s just see 😊
The second KB ad really caught me off guard hard 😂😂😂
Hard work is done race the race and enjoy it!
Good luck LS!!!!
~3:15 😂 Gustav
Let’s gooooo! All in! 🔥
I'll like to say goodluck to lional. For me, I tend to not like talking about my race plan because its internaly in my mind and talking about it makes me nervous so I respect lional for talking about whats in his mind.
Yeah, Lionel!!! GO ALL IN..
..on that last 10k. 😉 #pacethyself
Its time to bring the World Championship back to Canada!!! Let's go Lionel!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m loving the advertisement
Amazing 🎉
Top 10 let’s go
Gotta be top 5 on a good day, he's class
This is becoming f-ing genius and so funny I laugh out loud my wife is looking at me understanding zero😂😂
Talk talk talk
@talbot Surely the next episode has to have The Norwegian method clip include Blu projectile vomiting. 😂

Brother it’s not a UA-cam slot, 2nd in 2022, several wins in 2024, and your influence in the sport. Have confidence LS, lock in, time to go all out
I live in a swing state and I'm really getting sick of all the Norwegian Method ads on TV and phone calls. Can't wait until this is all over.
lets goooo dude
